A question about being gay?

So in the bible I know God say being gay is a sin, but if he is so against it why did he choose for many people to be born in the wrong body. My best friend is transgender and I have no problem with it, if God hates it so much why did he create some people that way? Could he not just leave it out? It is almost like he created something so he could hate it, how the hell is that loving?

Update:

Ok so I see being gay and being transgeder are two diffrent things, sorry about that.

But what I wanted to get acroos in that my friend feel he was born in the wrong body, he is transgender and I want to know why so many christian think that is wrong, and why do they tell everyone that it is a sin?

Update 2:

Stephen

If God created everything would in not be true to say he created people the way they are?

    Promiscuity is a sin. A lot of straight people who are sexually active outside of marriage like to point to the gay sex acts and point out god does not like that. God loves gay people just not certain sexual behavior which includes the majority of people. Do not feel unloved.

    People are not born gay any more than they are born murderers, liars, adulterers or thieves. We are born with a sin nature. Sin manifests itself differently in different people.

    When people tell you being gay is not a sin, they are giving their opinion, they are not telling you what God has said about it. Being a homosexual is as much a sin in God's eyes as being an adulterer or a liar or a thief. Jesus came to set people free from the bondage of sin. But it is a sin, and anyone who says it is not is leading you astray.

    These days everyone wants to cover up sin and say everything is all right, do as you please. Even one of the answers you got to your question was someone saying they were a Christian and gays are fine!

    It is terrible the lies that are being told. Life is very short compared to eternity. Doing what you please in this life will lead to eternal consequences.

    I wish I could find this article. But homosexual or homosexuality is not translated from the early bible. The word was "mollusk" I believe, and its was translated into "homosexuality" by man. The best this word can be translated to is "pedophile" and I guess having bishops and preachers molesting little boys cant be looked at as a sin, so why not throw someone else under the bus. This can be found in the old testament, and to be quite honest, the new testament is full of cr@p. It has been challenged by many, and king james of england had some questionable entries when the book was translated into english. All fact, thumbs down me all you want. IM a transsexual woman. I love my god, and my god loves me. And he did in fact create me this way.. Jesus said it best, "love your god as you love yourself, love your neighbor as you love yourself, and for that, god will return his love for you". He did not speak of hate, he spoke of love. He also informed you only god himself is permitted to pas judgment on others. For the ones who claim their closest to god, and go against everything jesus said, i sure hope their god is forgiving.. Here is a little something for you and your friend, http://www.soulforce.org/article/homosexuality-bib...

    Everyone loves to preach Leviticus 18:22 Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.

    But why do they not chastise those of Leviticus 20:10 If a man commits adultery with another man's wife--with the wife of his neighbor--both the adulterer and the adulteress must be put to death. Homosexuality is only detestable, where in adultery is punishable by DEATH.

    Love this one too Deuteronomy 22:28-29 If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, he shall pay the girl's father fifty shekels of silver. He must marry the girl, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives.

    So my bible thumping friends, whats gods word to the woman, "stand by your rapist"? Long live mans translation of the bible, we can freely rape women for the cost of 50 shekels of silver!!!!!!!!

    I can go on, but really,

    Source(s): @Esther, ummmmmm they actually have scientific proof people are born murderers. I think you should read more then the bible and you might have some more knowledge of life around you.,

    It may say that, but god loves all his people. He wants you to be yourself and contribute to the world. If you do this, no matter who you are, he will love you. There is nothing wrong with being gay. It's not the wrong body like you said at all.

    God isn't against gays. People use God to justify their personal dislike against gays.
