Is Homosexuality a sin?

And who do you believe God or Man?

This may seem like a strange question. but, think about, today it's more acceptable now, then ever before. If you talk againist it, you're deem to be hater.

God is the ultimate and sovereign judge for sin. A gay-lifestyle is sin by His order; it is not decided by public opinion or deceived/false clergy. Changing societies do not dictate God's standards. Sin is defined by God for us in the Bible. It is the source for what God says is holy and righteous or sin and abomination. Hebrews 13:8 states that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever; he does not change…“He does not go with the flow.”

God's Word says that Homosexuality is unnatural, a perversion, an abomination, fornication, vile affections, and a great sin against Him. He states any sexual act outside of marriage is adultery (hetro or homo sexual). Sex is to be between man and woman within marriage.

What was God intended design?

God's design for natural sexual relationships is part of His plan. Homosexuality falsifies what God designed. Sin often means not only rejecting God but denying or rejecting how and why we are made. Though it may be considered acceptable by some today -- even in some churches -- it is not acceptable to God. And we need to take that seriously.

Sexual sins were rampant in the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, some 3000 years ago. (This is the origin of the word sodomy.) Despite warnings by God, they refused to repent. And change from their wicked ways. God destroyed those cities with fire and it was recorded as a warning to all future generations. (Genesis 18:20-21, Genesis 19:4-5, 2 Peter 2:6) Some additional scriptures on Homosexuality are found in: Leviticus 18:22

Leviticus 20:13, Romans 1:26-27

The price paid for Homosexuality and other fornications are told in: 1 Corinthians 6:9-10

Jude 6-7, Romans 1:18

In spite of the growing secular or non-believing trend to think "it's ok to be gay," it's not a righteous lifestyle. Most vocal Christians are not homophobic, but are trying to share Christ's love for homosexuals and trying to keep them from horrific judgment.

Is Homosexuality a sin? Is there hope for forgiveness?

There is absolutely hope for gays. God can cleanse, purify and transform all persons from sin. As many scriptures as there are that address sin, there are more that speak of forgiveness and redemption. He is able to give deliverance to any who sincerely desire true freedom and salvation. Such is demonstrated in 1 Corinthians 6:11 (KJV): "And such were some of you: but you are washed, but you are sanctified, but you are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God." This verse says “some of you were,” meaning they became past acts.

We are offered the empowering Spirit of God to help us turn from our sins. Coming out of drug addiction, Homosexuality, pornography, or any other sin isn't always easy but God will provide the way. Christians are to "love" into the kingdom, those who desire repentance and to live by His natural plan.

Jesus Christ died on the cross for all of our sins and rose again the third day. He desires that we repent and be forgiven of our sins by coming into a personal relationship with Him.

They can change, through the empowering almighty God of Heaven!!!
