Is being gay a sin according to your religion?

[Triumphant_Loser]

"Highly insulting"? Too bad, because homosexuality is "highly insulting" to the Almighty, as it abuses the system regarding intimate unions he set in place since the very beginning of creation with Adam and Eve.

Who are you to speak for deity? If it wanted to be heard, I'm sure it would be more than capable of speaking for itself rather than waiting for some random dude on an internet forum do it on its' behalf.

I was merely answering the question of the thread..."Is being gay a sin according to your religion"

According to MY religion, it is.

What is your religion -- because Xy is clearly undecided on the issue.

I am a Catholic and my religion teaches that suffering from same sex attraction is not a sin but if you act on that action in a sexual way then it is definitely a sin and gravely so. This is my belief and I hold it as the universal truth.

What if one was to engage in a loving relationship without the sex?

Lol how would you know what insults him or not? If a god can be insulted by the private doings of a human being then maybe he isnt as almight as you seem to think.

If he existed and found it horrid I am sure he wouldve smacked us all in the head.

See, this is why I think the naysayers don't think of homosexuality as an orientation -- only as a set of actions.

Ha! A fish-slap from God!

Bismillah,

According to my religion which is Islam, it is not considered a sin to have feelings for a person of the same sex. It is a sin to act upon those feelings. And gay relationships are prohibited.

God has created us man and women so that we can live in families, produce children and find comfort in eachother. We are commanded by God to stay within His commandments and we believe that He is the most Wise and that what He order us to do is good for us and what He forbids us from is bad for us.

Aren't there parts of Islam that are gay friendly? Like some churches have become gay friendly?

I am a Christian and it is against my religion.

You're not the only Christian, and it is not against the religion of a lot of other Christians. As I said earlier, Xy is clearly undecided on the issue.

Surely he must have not heard of the Episcopal Church, the United Church of Christ, The Anglican Church of Canada, The Presbyterian Church of the United States of America, or the Metropolitan Community Church.

Probably not considered to be "real" churches -- just fake ones, loaded with fake, obviously apostate "Christians."

 

[Muffled]

Neither are you. And before you bring Yahweh up, I don't care what he thinks about it just like I don't care what a multitude of other foreign gods that have nothing to do with me think about anything.

Like I said, I don't care what Yahweh wants.

I beleive it does not matter whether you care or not God in me is judge whether you like it or not.

 

[Muffled]

First lets define what does being "gay" means. It would seem to me that the state or condition of being gay would constitute as a sin. Why wouldn't it?

I believe that a person can have tendencies to think of the same sex as an object of sex and that would constitute being gay but if that person does not act on those tendencies the person has not sinned. I do understand that most of the time being gay is thought of as actually performing the act.

What it's "thought of" is immaterial. What it is is not an act. It's who one is. One is not "sin."

 

[Muffled]

It's a sin to act upon love??

I believe there is no love in comitting sin.

I believe that would be like a rapist saying that he raped the woman because he loved her.

Me thinks thou dost protest overmuch. If you didn't care you wouldn't rant about how much you didn't care. You'd simply ignore Yahweh and his minions all together.
And you wouldn't also revere his creation that was, according to his predetermination for the world, his antithesis. Everything a Luciferian espouses is the anti-characteristic of God. But Lucifer was created by God and as source contains the properties, the spirit of God. Just as a child contains the DNA of both parents. Satanists and Luciferians are worshiping the dual nature of the God that some, like you, condemn.
That's cute.


As for the OP question: Being gay isn't a sin in Christianity. Being sexually active as a homosexual is.

Further, as this was brought up at least in the later pages of this thread, so too is Transsexualism. Genesis 1:27. God made man and woman. Psalm 139, says he knitted us together in the womb to be exactly as he made us to be.

Transsexualism is a religious issue when ultra-left transsexuals attempt to interject their illness into the secular realm and trespass as a minority on others and be tolerated rather than treated for what even one Trans in this thread called a medical condition.

One doesn't have to like the tenets in the Christian religion. That's probably why they're not Christian. But it demonstrates a lack of rational intellect to condemn the faith others have and espouse tolerance for all else.

Do you believe there is sin in committing love? Because expressing who one truly is with one whom one truly loves, is an act of love -- not sin.

 

[sojourner]

As for the OP question: Being gay isn't a sin in Christianity. Being sexually active as a homosexual is.

So, expressing who one is in intimacy with one whom one truly loves... is sin? Not all Christians (or even denominational authorities) would agree with you. The question is very much up for debate within Xy, so such a broad statement as "being sexually active as a homosexual is sinful" is untenable.

And me thinks you're ignorant and should stop trying to comment on things you don't know about. Luciferians and Satanists aren't "reverse Christians", meaning that we don't just "root for the bad guy".

Once again, you can take my advice above and strive not to comment on subjects that one is ignorant about.

 

[Sees]

A lot of people say for Christianity that being homosexual is not a sin, but acting on it is sin. This doesn't go along with gospel teachings in my opinion. It's simply a popular way to straddle the fence...not sure of the origin.

Jesus taught committing sin in your heart and mind is as condemning as actually carrying them out.
