Debate:What does Christianity say about homosexuality? (view source)
Revision as of 18:00, August 6, 2014
, 18:00, August 6, 2014no edit summary
Christianity says homosexuality is wrong. I won't deny that. But that doesn't mean Christians have to adopt an anti-gay agenda and enforce it upon non-Christians or people who are Christian but not as religious. I am Jewish, and my religion teaches that eating pork is wrong. On a side note the book of Leviticus even describes eating non-kosher meat and homosexuality using the same phrase - "it is an abomination", which should eliminate any debate regarding degrees of sins. But, while I would therefore not eat pork, and I would consider a religious Jew who ate it to have violated their religion, I would absolutely not consider any of you sinners if you eat bacon and sausage every day for breakfast. And for that matter, I wouldn't consider a less religious Jew a sinner if they did so. After all, I've seen many posts here fearing that radical Islam will come to America and enforce their views on us, so why is it ok when American Christians attempt to do the same?

==What about the Bible?==
Ok, so people have quoted scriptures, and the theme is "christianity". It is plain that a practicing sexually immoral person of ANY type will not inherit God's kingdom. The scriptures at 1Corinthians 6:9-11 show that VERY clearly. But note verse 11. It says "but that is what some of you WERE...". The point is that any person who practices sexual immorality is a sex offender in God's eyes, and this includes homosexuality. Yet if one STOPS their offending behaviour, or rather repents (recognises it as wrong and feels bad about it) and turns around (stops doing it) their sins can be blotted out, and they can stand in line to inherit the blessings of what our creator wants for us...but a sexually immoral person of any type who is unrepentant stands in their sins.
