Is homosexuality a sin?

that depends on what you believe. If you even believe in sins then pratically everything is now a days .. what I dont get is if god is so forgiving and has a big plan for all of us. then why did he make some gay and say it is bad. But if he is forgiving, then it doesn't matter. You cant choose who you love.

Well, they say San Francisco is the gay city... LOL! To me, there is nothing wrong with homosexuality, but some people see the end of the world in it...

its a sin from the point of view that somebody says its a sin (whoever that somebody is) its not a sin from the point of view that, if you practice it you don't endanger, offend, or hurt anyone or anyone's feelings (like murder or rape for instance) I think sin is a relative term and out of context can lead to many dilussions. And I also think this post is so 90's And for the record - I happen to be straight and most gay people I met I disliked - not because they were gay but because I'm a jerk.

no i dont think so

no of course not, but some think it's a sign of the devil. which is quite silly when you think of the real evil that exsists in this world.

I saw a simliar topic, but the guy was seriously messed up & just wanted to bash people. But homosexuality is part of one's genetic make-up. Back in the 60's (I think, I'll have to look it up again). A boy had a blotched circumsion & completely lost his p3nis. A doctor talked his parents into raising him as a girl. The doctors alternative motive was to see if the boy could be successfully raised a girl & if so he would be able to prove his theory that homosexuality was a learned trait. The boy however, did NOT prove his theory, even dressed & told he was a girl he still behaved as a boy thus proving gender identity is a genetic not learned trait. Eventually the boy found out he really was a boy & had an operation to reconstruct the part that was damaged. The doctor falsified his work & called the experiment a success. However the boy gave an interview and blantantly tore the doctors research apart. The reason I gave all this information is that since it was proven to be a genetic trait, it would be like saying to be born with a different colored hair/skin/eyes/etc that desired or seen as perfect is also a sin. So my personal belief is nobody is perfect, but that's okay, and from a religious view - GOD LOVES ALL HIS CHILDREN. So why do we as socieity as a whole try to pick each other apart? I'll look for the link I saw & posted on the other thread. And list it here.

yes it is a sin

In Islam it's not accepted, there's a saying that says god made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve.

It is sin in the bible in Lev. and Romans it states man shall not lay down with man. If you would like the exact scriptures and verses let me know.

ofcourse yes it is a biggest sin

yes

Yes

yes homosexuality is sin in Islam. It is accepted in western culture.

Homosexuality is far from a sin. From what I understand it isn't a choice. I think gay marriage (as previously mentioned in another discussion) is a sin and it should not be allowed under any circumstance. A civil union should suffice because it gives the same benefits of a marriage without the religious aspect.

it is not a sin but it is a kind of unusual thing.

Simple: Other people dont put up with it because they are more narrow minded than the ones that do

no homosexuality is not wrong. being straight is wrong =)

I wouldnt say it was a sin, I like to say to each their own, just leave me out of it, and dont hit on me and I have no problem with it. BUT as I believe some people are born with it, I also believe some poeple develope it, its hard to explain why I think that, but my uncle claims he is gay and never was before, until something tramatic happened to him. but no, I dont think it is a sin, I dont really believe in sins anyways.

i think now it was not culture to accept in yet.

yes it is a sin to be gay
