@@simelisiphomncube3434 God hates all sin, But, John 3:16. First John 1:8. If we say we have no sin, we are deceived and the truth is not in us. ALL men are sinners. Romans 3:23. Romans 3:9-10. What then? Are we better than they? No, in no way, for there is none righteous, no not one. The good news. First John 5:13. These things have I written unto you that BELIEVE on the name of the Son of God, that ye may KNOW YE HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. John 6;47. Acts 16;31. John 3:18.
The best thing we can do to show love to gay people, is to tell them the truth. Going along with a lie is not loving them. Homosexuality is sin. God can help them overcome it.
Can God help me "overcome" being heterosexual? There is nothing to "overcome" because I simply am heterosexual . . . I don't "choose" to be what I am. In the same way, gay or bi people don't "choose" to be this way, they simply are. I suggest it would be more accurate (and loving) to say God will help them manage the (sexual) temptations in the same way God helps me manage my heterosexual sexual temptations. If a gay person does not engage in sexual activity, then they have not "sinned" just for being gay.
@@brettbarager9101 Being attracted to the same sex is something you can help if you turn your life over to Christ and become born again. I used to be bi and have dated the same sex before but since I put my faith in Christ I have never once had an attraction to the same sex since. Even if you haven't had same sex intercourse, if you're attracted to the same sex and you think it's fine then you should really start forming a relationship with God because it's the devil making you have these desires. God bless
If you are wondering about the question of whether your sexuality is a sin or not, I welcome you to consider the following thoughts for clarification. Let’s look at some basic fundamental facts based on extensive research & ongoing R&D. During fetal development a verity of biochemical agents are introduced which determine the development of the fetus. Research has shown that major agents such as testosterone & estrogen & a host of others agents determine size, weight, hair color, eye color & sexuality along with a host of other traits. Variations in the amount & timing of the introduction of these agents have a major effect in development. The fetus is a passive participant & has no influence in these matters. Sexuality, for example, & all other secondary traits are thus given to us. Well, this begs the question, is homosexuality a sin since there is no choice offered. The fetus has no willful acceptance. However, if your religion or belief system states that it is a sin, then there can be no discussion. These are the rules based on this system’s dogma. If you accept this system, you must accept the rules. Facts are irrelevant. This is your only choice which doesn’t include options & exceptions. Rules are rules! If, however, you are in a belief system based on logic, reason, observation & common sense, & no reliance on spirituality or religion, the conclusion is totally different. Replacing ancient religion & mythology & superstition with reason leads to another conclusion. Leaving religions that use condemnation & ridicule for control, can be the first step in becoming a true human being minus any imposed or fabricated guilt. There exist many variations of human sexual expression as well in the animal kingdom. When you leave various ancient religious beliefs behind & chose knowledge based in research, you can see & understand the true nature of humanity. You leave ignorance, hatred, & prejudice behind. In the book Gay Straight & the Reason Why by Simon Levay PhD, explanations regarding this aspect of humanity are clearly explained & is based on research. While I am not gay, I highly recommend this book & the numerous articles. Being gay is no more of a sin than having red hair. They are both determined by genetics & clearly not a sin. There is nothing wrong with you. This is the true choice. Peace
At this era, your organization is willing to speak up, having the courage to open the comment, sharing the thoughts and biblical teaching should be highly appreciated!!❤

Exactly, why is this even a question!!!???? I'm questioning this channel more and more! I mean, 1st the "should Christians celebrate halloween" short and now this? I'm out.
Christians in 1st century were formerly part of the cultures who worshipped false gods and were indulging in a roman culture promoting this ... God doesn't change and we just commit the same sin with new societies time after time...
Sex with children and animals is way way worse than consensual homosexual acts. They are completely different like please do realize that. We need to support those struggling with homosexuality not incinuate that they are abusive or creeps or pedophiles because that is on a way more severe level of evil and is akin to persecution which is not Jesus' way and is also sinful.
@@ceasarjuarez1593 It bothers me when people say this stuff because in what way do you think God doesn't pay mind to the sin that you are committing? Was it not "eye for an eye"? God made us in his image and the only reason we have a knowledge of what's right and wrong and what is genuinely wickedly, evil, disgusting, and detestable such as sex with a child or animal is because God has and always had that knowledge and unfortunately tried to protect us from it but we all know the story. We did not come up with that on our own as you're suggesting, not at all. God created us. And also God created Satan who betrayed him, but God did create Him. This means that God always had a knowledge of good and evil things, and we are so lucky our God is good. There are sins that are worse than others and some things can be forgiven but somethings cannot, and the punishment on Earth, biblically, should fit the crime. The enemy who is so wickedly evil in every way can never be forgiven and God has recognized this, the enemy is truly filled with hate for God and us in every way. God knows this difference. Jeffrey Dahmer raping and killing 15 times is not the same as a child who talked disrespectfully to their parents 15 times. And acting like God doesn't recognize that is silly to me and disrespectful. God is merciful, but God is all-knowing and ever watching. Between Dahmer and the rude child, I feel inclined to be more merciful towards the latter, as God is merciful to us, and the other, not so much because his 15 sins ravaged lives permanently while the child just needed to mature

Being tempted is not sin, committing these sins in your heart and mind is sin, doing these sins is sin. We are so fallen as a society we think having these desires in our hearts and minds is okay, it is not. We all need to resist temptations and encourage others to stand firm also. We need to encourage people not to just resist acting on sinful lusts, but to also not think or desire to do them. Jesus covers this in his sermon on the mount, the battle ground is not just in our external actions it’s before that, it’s in our hearts and minds.
Fantasy is sin, because it is something a human can seek solace in, when they should be turning to God to be comforted. All same sex desire features such fantasy. LGBT sexuality is not some neutral thing if you don't act on it...remember where Jesus said murder and adultery start? In the heart...with fantasy.
@@markanthony3275 Paul uses the word "imaginations," which sure covers it for me. "Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;.." Oh, and Jeremiah 17:9 KJV: "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?..." And if we're saved, we are to have the mind of Christ, I Corinthians 2:16 KJV: "For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ."
@@ministermattocks7570 Homosexuals are the only homophobes, because they are scared to talk about how their sexual activity shortens their lifespan by 8-15 years on average. They are also scared to admit they suffer much higher rates of hepatitis A, hepatitis B, fatal liver cancer, fatal rectal cancer, fatal oral cancer, and all the STD's you can name. Homosexuals are also more likely to be drug addicts, alcoholics, depressed, anxious and suicidal...but they're scared to talk about these things...they are phopbic about them. You were saying something about homophobia ?
If you believe gays that believe in Christ but didn't stop practicing homosexuality still go to hell, then you also believe heterosexuals that never ''tied the knot'' but remain in a sexual relationship, or heterosexuals that marry a divorced spouse also all go to hell.

I am so glad you guys covered this question. For everyone in the comments section criticizing why this channel would even cover this question I have to wonder if you ever step outside of your Christian “bubbles” and get to know people who are secular. If you did you would understand that our society is completely confused about this subject. This channel is doing a great thing by trying to meet people where they are at. And a lot of people truly think homosexual relationships are not just ok but that they should be celebrated with pride; some of these people even have self proclaimed Christian leaders telling them this.
The question is not the problem. As in the "Should Christians celebrate halloween" short it's the answers that are the problem for me. To say "same sex attraction, per se is not always an active, willful sin" is beyond dangerous as it can lead someone straight to hell. There are only two choices, Heaven or hell. This channel appears to tickle ears instead of proclaiming God's truth.

@@grouchosdad1 I never said you weren't born gay. Being gay is not necessarily a sin, it's acting on them. It seems like you do care, your church apparently isn't studying the scripture very well. Your church says it isn't a sin, I'm just showing that your Church isn't very good at studying scripture. The bible says otherwise, and that's also a fact
can tell by your response; you didn’t read the book. Nor understood or comprehend what I wrote. Thank you however. You helped me realized that while I was brought up as a Catholic with 12 years of educational indoctrination, I know I made the right decision to leave any religious affiliation I had. I started to think for myself & not follow the herd. Additionally, while I I am not gay, I accept those who are. I embraced reason, logic, acceptance, & love to understand the world & humanity.

The fact that there are former homosexuals that actually exist tells you everything you need to know about how the term homosexuality does not need to be a destination for your life. Christ can free us of anything.
If you are wondering about the question of whether your sexuality is a sin or not, I welcome you to consider the following thoughts for clarification. Let’s look at some basic fundamental facts based on extensive research & ongoing R&D. During fetal development a verity of biochemical agents are introduced which determine the development of the fetus. Research has shown that major agents such as testosterone & estrogen & a host of others agents determine size, weight, hair color, eye color & sexuality along with a host of other traits. Variations in the amount & timing of the introduction of these agents have a major effect in development. The fetus is a passive participant & has no influence in these matters. Sexuality, for example, & all other secondary traits are thus given to us. Well, this begs the question, is homosexuality a sin since there is no choice offered. The fetus has no willful acceptance. However, if your religion or belief system states that it is a sin, then there can be no discussion. These are the rules based on this system’s dogma. If you accept this system, you must accept the rules. Facts are irrelevant. This is your only choice which doesn’t include options & exceptions. Rules are rules! If, however, you are in a belief system based on logic, reason, observation & common sense, & no reliance on spirituality or religion, the conclusion is totally different. Replacing ancient religion & mythology & superstition with reason leads to another conclusion. Leaving religions that use condemnation & ridicule for control, can be the first step in becoming a true human being minus any imposed or fabricated guilt. There exist many variations of human sexual expression as well in the animal kingdom. When you leave various ancient religious beliefs behind & chose knowledge based in research, you can see & understand the true nature of humanity. You leave ignorance, hatred, & prejudice behind. In the book Gay Straight & the Reason Why by Simon Levay PhD, explanations regarding this aspect of humanity are clearly explained & is based on research.

Some days Im truly at a loss at living this life. According to the Bible, Im not allowed to act on my feelings, not allowed to be in a relationship, cant watch porn. So what then? Am I really just supposed to be celibate and alone for the next 30-40 years? Everyone around me gets to find someone, have families, but people like me just have to spend our lives Alone? Make this make sense.
1. READ your Bible. 2. OBEY your Bible. 3. PRAY to accept Jesus as your Savior, which includes obeying the Bible. 4. IF you are attracted to guys, ask God to remove that feeling and DONT FEED that feeling by having friends that do any hmsxl activities; and DONT watch porn etc. 5. ATTEND a Godly evangelical type church; plenty of Godly people there that will steer you/help you in the right direction. 6. ASK GOD to bring you the RIGHT wife for you. and DONT go looking in bars or nightclubs etc. 7. WHEN the right spouse shows up, DONT RUIN that relationship by engaging in sxl behavior or sxl talk, etc. DO clean activities with them instead. 8. AFTER you MARRY that person, THEN you have sxl activity ONLY with that person. NOW it makes sense, but ONLY if you OBEY GOD. after a nasty divorce, I asked God for some one to spend a lot of time with. the next week I met a great guy. I took him to church, he accepted Christ by a prayer commitment via the youth pastor, then we got married, now married almost 50 happy years!!! THATS HOW to do it RIGHT!!! PROCEED!!
@@Lauren-vd4qeyour advice makes me laugh. Trying not to be gay is like trying to take the eggs out of a cake. Btw, my church says being gay is ok. I’ll still go to heaven according to my church. So there!!

Pastor Nelson, what an excellent video. I pray that those who struggle with their sexuality but want to be freed from those acts, find this video. Nothing is too hard for our LORD GOD, AMEN 🙏🏾
All premarital sex is a sin, whether gay or straight. I wish the same energy were applied to heterosexuals who have boyfriends or girlfriends who are clearly intimate. Sometimes, it seems like there's less reinforcement regarding that and too much focus on homosexuals.
The Devil's objective is to make you believe it's unfair. You see heterosexual couples sinning "more" and "getting away with it" because there are just literally more heterosexuals shown everywhere. But that's an entirely different point. Both are very wrong and yes I wish that there was equal reinforcement that any sexual sin is wrong regardless of straight or gay. The fact that isn't not presented as equally wrong is precisely a small piece of what the Devil is using as a broken argument to keep homosexuals believing their own sin. It's also what's keeping a lot of heterosexual couples believing the lie that their sin is okay as well... because it's culturally accepted.
Most Christians disagree. They believe Homosexuality is the only sexual sin, that is why they spend so much time focusing on it. They dont see other sexual sins as harmful to people, only homosexuals are harmful to society to detrimental to ones salvation.

Well, this guy just danced around the question. He would have done well to have quoted 1 Corinthians 6:9, " Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor EFFEMINATE, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,". By this we know that you can not have the righteousness of God through Jesus Christ and live such a life style. The truth is it is a sin. And should be stated as such.
Paul did not say the effeminate, he said malokos, meaning soft. As in weak in faith. Paul also never said abusers of themselves with mankind, he said arsenokotie for male lust. Now try again

I'm a Christian and people are always very welcoming. Didn't experience any dissemination and when i ask is being gay a sin? They'll answer that it's not but the act of homosexuality is. I'm confused so u just become gay and not allowed to get into relationship that you desire?

The guy has perfectly answered the question but the title “being gay” is very ambiguous. It’s not very specific to whether it means feeling same sex attracted or living the gay lifestyle. Being same sex attracted is something a lot of people like myself cannot control. I can testify to this because I’ve hardly felt a real attraction to a woman but without even trying I find myself attracted to guys everyday. I could pray and fast and the attractions will still not go. Thankfully, through understanding of Gods word I’ve understood it’s a result of the sin nature and I’ve surrendered this issue onto God.

As a gay one day I felt a feeling to add this song I never heard before to my playlist and every time I hear the song it makes me feel closer to Heavenly Father. The song is singing about how Heavenly Father still made gays and he still loves them. It makes me all the hate on gays in my head disappear. Love you all bye bye. ❤️
Yes. acting on it is a sin. I always hear people say "why did God make people Gay?" Well why did God make us lust in general? Jesus said: " For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother’s womb; and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by people; and there are also eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who is able to accept this, let him accept it. - Matthew 19:12 If you love God with all your heard and look forward to the Kingdom heaven over your earthly desires even if it is a relationship here on earth, You will be willing to sacrifice these desires for God and the Kingdom of heaven. However, that doesn't mean sinning means you aren't saved if you have homosexual desire or even if you have acted on it. You are only saved by Faith in Christ, but true faith in Christ will lead to fruit... That fruit being the Holy Spirit convicting you of sin and leading to the desire to do right by God.

Yes, Jesus died for every single sin. Acting on having sex with someone of the gender is a sin, but 100% is forgiven. Even if you do it more than once. Just confess it to Jesus and ask for forgiveness and we are forgiven. ❤❤❤❤❤
It might not be a sin to be tempted by a same sex attraction but there's definitely a difference between same sex attraction and that of the opposite sex. One is God given and one is not. However the God given attraction to the opposite sex can be sinful when it goes into lust.
to the point If you are wondering about the question of whether your sexuality is a sin or not, I welcome you to consider the following thoughts for clarification. Let’s look at some basic fundamental facts based on extensive research & ongoing R&D. During fetal development a verity of biochemical agents are introduced which determine the development of the fetus. Research has shown that major agents such as testosterone & estrogen & a host of others agents determine size, weight, hair color, eye color & sexuality along with a host of other traits. Variations in the amount & timing of the introduction of these agents have a major effect in development. The fetus is a passive participant & has no influence in these matters. Sexuality, for example, & all other secondary traits are thus given to us. Well, this begs the question, is homosexuality a sin since there is no choice offered. The fetus has no willful acceptance. However, if your religion or belief system states that it is a sin, then there can be no discussion. These are the rules based on this system’s dogma. If you accept this system, you must accept the rules. Facts are irrelevant. This is your only choice which doesn’t include options & exceptions. Rules are rules! If, however, you are in a belief system based on logic, reason, observation & common sense, & no reliance on spirituality or religion, the conclusion is totally different. Replacing ancient religion & mythology & superstition with reason leads to another conclusion. Leaving religions that use condemnation & ridicule for control, can be the first step in becoming a true human being minus any imposed or fabricated guilt. There exist many variations of human sexual expression as well in the animal kingdom. When you leave various ancient religious beliefs behind & chose knowledge based in research, you can see & understand the true nature of humanity. You leave ignorance, hatred, & prejudice behind. In the book Gay Straight & the Reason Why by Simon Levay PhD, explanations regarding this aspect of humanity are clearly explained & is based on research.

Being asexual in a marriage with someone who promised that you would be their one and only source of intimacy is just as sinful. Maybe if Christians had more attractive marriages, then the worldly alternatives to godly intimacy would be less tempting.
I hear this over and over but I don’t hear anyone ever address the issues with the translations and the words that Paul uses in context on the culture. Can you make a video that directly responds to those arguments?
The practicing lifestyle of LGBTQ is a sin but having same sex attraction is not unless one gives to the temptation. The bible says Jesus was tempted in all ways. (Hebrews 4:15) Defining terms is important.

Everyone is tempted, because temptation originates from outside a person, like the serpent talking to Eve in the Garden. Sin is when we agree with the temptation.
If there are any homosexual followers reading this. I want you to know there is more to life than relationships. You can serve in your ministry and focus on God and decade your life to serving others as you’ll have more time to do it than if you were in a relationship. You are indeed forbidden from Being married to someone do the same sex, but there’s more to life than being intimate with other humans. The choice to make is yours, God will help us

"David & Jonathan were lovers" We know from 1 Samuel 18:1 that Jonathan loved David. Second Samuel 1:26 records David’s lament after Jonathan’s death, in which he said that his love for Jonathan was more wonderful than the love of a woman. Some use these two passages to suggest a homosexual relationship between David and Jonathan. This interpretation, however, should be rejected for at least three reasons. First, the Hebrew word for “love” used here covers a broad range of meanings and does not mean “romantic” or “sexual” love unless the context demands it. Forms of the same word are used for loving God (Exodus 20:6), loving one’s neighbor as oneself (Leviticus 19:18), treating foreigners well (Leviticus 19:34), sharing friendship (Job 19:19), having diplomatic ties (1 Kings 5:1), taking pleasure in the work of a subordinate (1 Samuel 16:21), and even “loving” inanimate things (Proverbs 21:17). Second, The passage about David and Jonathan is 2 Samuel 1:25-27. Verses 25-27 are the final verses of a lament over Saul and Jonathan (v. 17). How have the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! Jonathan is slain on your high places. I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan; You have been very pleasant to me. Your love to me was more wonderfulThan the love of women. How have the mighty fallen, And the weapons of war perished!” 2 Samuel 1:25-27 (NASB) The important part of this passage is David’s statement “Your love to me was more wonderful than the love of women.” Homosexual advocates claim that “love of women” reveals that David and Jonathan were making love like men do with women. Therefore, when David said Jonathan’s love was “more wonderful then” David was referring to sexual activity. The major problem with this view is that the Hebrew word that is used for both words translated “love” in verse 26 is ahaba, which is derived from aheb. That is, this “love” is the common Hebrew word for love, with some intensity. But the major problem with this view is that the Hebrew word for sexual love is dod and not aheb or ahaba. The Hebrew word dod is the primary word for sexual foreplay and intercourse in Hebrew. Of the 61 times the word appears in the Old Testament, 32 times it appears in Song of Solomon. It is the only word used for love in the fourth chapter of the book which describes foreplay and sexual intercourse between Solomon and his wife. Dod appears in Song of Solomon 4:10 and 16. In verse 10, the Hebrew word dod appears in the plural. That is, Solomon’s wife is engaged in different activities that is commonly called foreplay today. She is doing different things to stimulate him. How beautiful is your love, my sister, my bride! How much better is your love than wine, And the fragrance of your oils Than all kinds of spices! Song of Solomon 4:10 (NASB) In appears once in Song of Solomon 4:16 in the singular. That is why the NASB translates dod as “Beloved.” Awake, O north wind, And come, wind of the south; Make my garden breathe out fragrance, Let its spices be wafted abroad. May my beloved come into his garden And eat its choice fruits!” Song of Solomon 4:16 (NASB) A more accurate translation would be “Lover.” He is a sexual lover involved in foreplay in verse 10 and sexual intercourse in verse 16. It should be noted that she refers to him as “Beloved” or “Lover.” This lengthy explanation of dod reveals that David’s statement, “Your love to me was more wonderful than the love of women,” is not a reference to sexual activity between David and Jonathan. 2 Samuel 1:25-27 is better understood as a very strong friendship commitment between two men. The word aheb is used in Psalm 109:4-5 for friendship. Proverbs 17:17 tells us that there are friends whose love is better than that of a brother. A friend loves at all times, And a brother is born for adversity. Proverbs 17:17 (NASB) This helps us understand that the David and Jonathan friendship was a covenantal love. Jonathan was better than a brother. Therefore, the question must be asked, “Since when must love between two people always refer to genital contact?” Dale Ralph Davis in his commentary on 2 Samuel writes, It is utterly wrong-headed to read the idea of homosexuality into this text. The comparison between Jonathan’s love and a wife’s love is not at the point of sexuality but at the point of fidelity. Matthew Henry saw this long ago: He had reason to say that Jonathan’s love to him was wonderful; surely never was the like, for a man to love one who he knew was to take away the crown over his head, and to be so faithful to his rival: this far surpassed the highest degree of conjugal affection and constancy. Jonathan was totally devoted to David becoming king of lsrael. David’s comparison of his relationship with Jonathan with that of women is probably a reference to his experience with King Saul’s daughters. He was promised one of Saul’s daughters for killing Goliath. The first daughter was abruptly given to another man. The second daughter was promised, but Saul continued to add conditions to the deal, hoping to see David killed in battle (1 Samuel 18:17, 25). The loyalty and camaraderie David had with Jonathan came with no conditions and was of greater value than the companionship of Saul’s daughter. Third, the Bible clearly and consistently denounces homosexuality (Genesis 1:26-27; Leviticus 18:22; 20:13; Romans 1:18-25). Extolling a homosexual love between David and Jonathan would be contradicting the prohibitions of it found throughout the Bible. The friendship between David and Jonathan was a covenantal relationship. In 1 Samuel 18:1-5, we read of David and Jonathan forming an agreement. In this agreement, Jonathan was to be second in command in David’s future reign, and David was to protect Jonathan’s family (1 Samuel 20:16-17, 42; 23:16-18). Obviously, these two men were also very good friends. In their relationship we can see at least three qualities of true friendship. First, they sacrificed for one another. In 1 Samuel 18:4, we read that Jonathan gave David his clothes and military garb. The significance of this gift was that Jonathan recognized that David would one day be king of Israel. Rather than being envious or jealous, Jonathan submitted to God’s will and sacrificed his own right to the throne. Second, in 1 Samuel 19:1-3, we read of Jonathan’s loyalty toward and defense of David. King Saul told his followers to kill David. Jonathan rebuked his father and recalled David’s faithfulness to him in killing Goliath. Finally, Jonathan and David were also free to express their emotions with one another. In 1 Samuel 20, we read of a plan concocted by Jonathan to reveal his father’s plans toward David. Jonathan was going to practice his archery. If he told his servant that the arrows he shot were to the side of the target, David was safe. If Jonathan told his servant that the arrows were beyond the target, David was to leave and not return. Jonathan told the servant that the arrows were beyond the target, meaning that David should flee. After releasing his servant, Jonathan found David and the two men cried together. Rather than being evidence for a homosexual relationship in the Bible, the account of David and Jonathan is an example of true biblical friendship. True friendship, according to the Bible, involves loyalty, sacrifice, compromise, and yes, emotional attachment. That is what we should learn from David and Jonathan. The idea that David and Jonathan were practicing homosexuals (or bisexuals) has no biblical basis
WARNING: for all you who think that just NOT committing the act (sin) is enough...consider this: Prov. 23:7 as a man thinketh, so IS he.... Jesus said: their lips praise me but their hearts are far from me...Matt.15:8.....so even if you have hmsxl thoughts but dont ACT it out, thats still a grevious sin....

A sexual immoral life will send you to hell ... , if you repent and recognize for what it is gay or straight and fight it through the power of the spirit that is given to those who believe and repent , you will be sanctified and have a life in the battle ..
I don't know what to say other than that's just wrong. Being tempted isn't a sin but giving into those temptations and getting into a same sex relationship IS a sin since it goes against the way God has made us. Mark 10: 6-8 "But from the beginning of the creation, God ‘made them male and female.’ ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’; so then they are no longer two, but one flesh."
At last, someone tells the world as it really is. Yes, sexual activity between two people of the same gender IS THE SIN! However, just having an attraction to a person of the same gender without entering into a sexual relationship IS NOT SIN! The amount of 'Christians' that condemn people for just having same sex attraction appals me. Trying to explain, to them, that it is the action that is sinful and these 'Christians refuse to accept this. Thank you so much for this clarification.

Yes, it is a sin, my brothers and sisters in Christ, we must stand up against the evil of the world. They try to get us to support their sinful actions and lives, we must have the courage to resist and show them that they will never win! I will fight for the rest of my days against pride and what stands for it.
Thank you for inviting questions of all kinds, for the Holy Spirit cannot change that which is unaccepted. A gentle reminder that in my faith there is no acceptable sex outside of marriage.

You’re not born that way. It’s a sin. It’s flesh. When you don’t walk in the spirit you end up walking in the flesh. To walk in the flesh is to give into lustful desires.
"Jesus never said anything about it" Jesus *did* address the issue of homosexuality. Jesus addresses it in Matthew 5 & Matthew 19. In these chapters, Jesus addresses the issue of marriage. Jesus rooted His understanding of marriage in the teaching of Genesis 2, which gives us marriage between a man and a woman for the purposes of procreation, illustration and sanctification. He also made it very clear that what God has joined together, man cannot separate. In other words, God is the author of marriage, not man. Therefore, God is the one who defines marriage, not man. Therefore, man does not have the right to introduce the concept of same sex marriage because: 1.) By definition it's not marriage, it's another thing. 2.) Because by definition, it goes against what has been created in Genesis 2. Jesus did address the issue of homosexuality, because He addressed the issue of sexual impurity. He addressed the issue of fornication. Jesus in the sermon on the mount talks about porneia. He talks about sexual impurity, which is a reference to the porneia code in leviticus 18 which clearly upholds the idea that homosexuality is sinful. The Bigger issue with "Jesus never said anything about homosexuality" is that it's not just that Jesus is God but that Jesus is a member of the Godhead. It's not just that Jesus is divine, but that He is a member of the Trinity. Jesus has existed eternally as God & Jesus has existed eternally in perfect union with the Father and The Holy Spirit. Although He ook on a human nature in His incarnation, He did not come into existence in His incarnation. You cannot divorce Jesus from the rest of the Bible. Therefore, when you read in Leviticus 20:1 that "The Lord said to Moses" then that *is* Jesus speaking. You also cannot separate Jesus from the Father and the Holy Spirit on the issue of homosexuality. You cannot claim that Jesus never addressed the issue of homosexuality, unless you want to argue that Jesus has a different opinion on the matter than God the Father & God the Holy Spirit, which is hugely problematic because that would mean a breach in the Trinity and the whole universe would cave in on itself. Lastly, The Bible is one story. Not many. You can no more separate Jesus from Paul or Peter than you can separate Jesus from The Father or The Holy Spirit. What do the apostles teach? The apostles are whose apostles? They are Christ's apostles. So the teaching that they give us, is the authoritative teaching of the church from The Lord Jesus Christ Himself.
"Homosexuality as an *orientation* is not addressed in scripture" Firstly. The Bible tells us in Matthew 15:19 that it begins in our hearts and minds. Before we commit an act of sin, we will think about it. All sin starts in the mind. Then terms: "vile affections", "burned in their lust", "working", "natural use", etc. are used in Romans 1:24-27 (KJV), & clearly involve both mental and physical homosexuality.
@@chrissmith8198 yes, people ARE INDEED BORN GAY! It really doesn’t matter whether or not scripture supports that fact. It’s true. Can you, as a heterosexual, actually speak for gay people? If so, you’re amazing. I happen to be Caucasian, but I don’t walk around telling people that I know what it’s like to be born black. GOD CREATES GAY PEOPLE.
@@grouchosdad1 he creates people yes but The sad reality is that we live in a fallen world, and all creation “groans” under the consequences of our sin (Romans 8:22) and In Adam, we sinned and fell, becoming corrupted ourselves. Thus, we are born in sin (Psalm 51:5) and are evil from our youth up (Genesis 8:21). Therefore, death reigns over all (Romans 5:12) "because all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God". We also know from 2 Corinthians 4:4 that 4 satan, *who is the god of this world,* has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. We are also taught in Ephesians 2:2 *he is the spirit at work* in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God." So we can see from scripture that is infact *our sinful natures* and *satan* who is god of this world that causes people to sin, and not just satan, but also his demons, according to Ephesians 6:12 So the statement "God made me this way" has *no* real scriptural basis. James 1:14-15 tells us that "14 each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their *own* evil desire and enticed. 15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death." To claim that God gave or created people with these evil desires is also false as just one verse earlier in James 1:13 it says "13 *When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.”* For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone Moreover, 1 Corinthians 10:13 says "No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it."
What is taking 7 minutes let me do in 5 seconds or 1 second. Yes it is a sin and will be forgiven if one repents and tries to break free from that life style.
It’s astonishing how many evangelical Christians wrap themselves in the banner of righteousness, only to wield their faith like a weapon of judgment. Comparing gay people to pedophiles or criminals? That’s not just ignorant-it’s a vile insult. Let’s be real: this kind of arrogance comes from a place of fear and prejudice, not love or morality. Jesus didn’t sit with the self-righteous; he embraced the outcasts. But many who claim to follow him are quick to condemn what they refuse to understand. Before you preach about sin, take a good look at the hypocrisy and cruelty that hides behind your so-called faith. 👨❤️👨⛪️🏳️🌈
Yes, it's a sin. So is lusting after the same sex. But Jesus will help you overcome the temptation. We are all sinners but we live under His grace. He forgives us our sins if we ask and believe.
Is it a sin to have same sex attractions? I don't think so. One cannot avoid all temptation, but it is alwsys a good thing to ask God for help. But it is always a sin to engage in homosexual behavior.
If you have received Jesus Christ as your Savior, you have the Holy Spirit living inside you. God always gives us a way out of every temptation. We just have to receive and act right on this gift
According to the Word YES. It's not debatable. Repent. God never compromises or changes His Word to accommodate anyone's personal feelings. We don't change the Word to align with how we think or feel. We change how we think and feel to align with what is written in God's Word. If God didn't tolerate this type of lifestyle in Sodom and Gomorrah, he definitely won't tolerate it in this day and age. Let their destruction be a warning to all who practice this type of lifestyle. Repent or face the same consequences.
I think that the more pertinent question is whether recreational sex in any form is a sin? What I am trying to convey is that some people will never marry for a myriad of reasons. And since this is the case, do you really think that God would not allow them to enjoy the wonderful pleasure of sex, simply because they didn't get married? It just flies in the face of common sense and reason. Not buying it.
"God created me this way" The sad reality is that we live in a fallen world, and all creation “groans” under the consequences of our sin (Romans 8:22) and In Adam, we sinned and fell, becoming corrupted ourselves. Thus, we are born in sin (Psalm 51:5) and are evil from our youth up (Genesis 8:21). Therefore, death reigns over all (Romans 5:12) "because all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God". We also know from 2 Corinthians 4:4 that 4 satan, *who is the god of this world,* has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God. We are also taught in Ephesians 2:2 "You used to live in sin, just like the rest of the world, obeying the devil-the commander of the powers in the unseen world. *he is the spirit at work* in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God." So we can see from scripture that is infact *our sinful natures* and *satan* who is god of this world that causes people to sin, and not just satan, but also his demons, according to Ephesians 6:12 "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." So the statement "God made me this way" has *no* real scriptural basis. James 1:14-15 tells us that "14 each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their *own* evil desire and enticed. 15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death." To claim that God gave or created people with these evil desires is also false as just one verse earlier in James 1:13 it says "13 *When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.”* For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone Moreover, 1 Corinthians 10:13 says "No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it." God calls *everyone* regardless of how they choose to identify to repent of their sins and not to stay in them as Jesus Himself said in Luke 13:3 "I tell you, no; but unless you repent [change your old way of thinking, turn from your sinful ways and live changed lives], you will all likewise perish" and we are also told to repent in not just Luke 13:3, but also in Luke 15:10; Luke 24:47; Matthew 4:17; Matthew 11:20; Mark 1:15 and Acts 5:31. In 2 Corinthians 5:17 we are told "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the *new* creation has come:[a] *The old has gone, the new is here!"* And in Ephesians 4:20-24 we are taught "20 That, however, is not the way of life you learned 21 when you heard about Christ and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. 22 You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; 23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds; 24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness." So even if we have a proclivity towards a particular sin, wether it be homosexuality or any other sin, it was not given by God and Jesus "gave himself for us to *redeem* us from all wickedness and to *purify* for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good." (Titus 2:14) We find an example of this in 1 Corinthians 6:11 where it says, “And that is what some of you *were.* But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God” (emphasis added). This statement negates the idea of “homosexual Christianity” being acceptable to God. Paul tells the Corinthian believers that practices such as homosexuality were evidences of their former life before Christ. Now they have been *born again,* and they have a new nature and new desires. The old nature remains, and the temptations continue, but child of God has been called to fight against sin, not live in it any longer. By the life-changing grace of God, the Corinthians’ new life stands in opposition to the way they used to live.
When one claims to be born a homosexual, the same can one claims to be born a fornicator. If we can resist being a fornicator then we can resist engaging in homosexual activities.
In all of it's aspects, it's clearly listed as a sin in several places. Leviticus 20:13 If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads. Deuteronomy 22:5 A woman must not wear men’s clothing, nor a man wear women’s clothing, for the LORD your God detests anyone who does this. God told the man Job to act like a man (differentiating man from woman). Job 38:3 Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me. Once a righteous king took the throne and did what God wanted. One of his deeds was to remove all of the sodomites (homosexuals) out of the country. 1 Kings 15:11-12 And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, as did David his father. And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.
@@grouchosdad1 You are entitled to your opinion. It specifically talks about same sex unions being a sin. Just Google that question from any Bible app.
I once heard someone suggest that Homosexuality is Satan's alteration to God's Gift of Celibacy. While God makes some people Celibate by having them abstaining from marriage and sexual activity, and enjoying the company of your own gender more than the opposite, like the Apostle Paul, for the work he has called them for, Satan uses it to make those people be attracted to their own gender. He suggested that this is the "Thorn in the Flesh" Paul was referring to in 2 Cor. 12:7-9. What do you think?
another elephant If you are wondering about the question of whether your sexuality is a sin or not, I welcome you to consider the following thoughts for clarification. Let’s look at some basic fundamental facts based on extensive research & ongoing R&D. During fetal development a verity of biochemical agents are introduced which determine the development of the fetus. Research has shown that major agents such as testosterone & estrogen & a host of others agents determine size, weight, hair color, eye color & sexuality along with a host of other traits. Variations in the amount & timing of the introduction of these agents have a major effect in development. The fetus is a passive participant & has no influence in these matters. Sexuality, for example, & all other secondary traits are thus given to us. Well, this begs the question, is homosexuality a sin since there is no choice offered. The fetus has no willful acceptance. However, if your religion or belief system states that it is a sin, then there can be no discussion. These are the rules based on this system’s dogma. If you accept this system, you must accept the rules. Facts are irrelevant. This is your only choice which doesn’t include options & exceptions. Rules are rules! If, however, you are in a belief system based on logic, reason, observation & common sense, & no reliance on spirituality or religion, the conclusion is totally different. Replacing ancient religion & mythology & superstition with reason leads to another conclusion. Leaving religions that use condemnation & ridicule for control, can be the first step in becoming a true human being minus any imposed or fabricated guilt. There exist many variations of human sexual expression as well in the animal kingdom. When you leave various ancient religious beliefs behind & chose knowledge based in research, you can see & understand the true nature of humanity. You leave ignorance, hatred, & prejudice behind. In the book Gay Straight & the Reason Why by Simon Levay PhD, explanations regarding this aspect of humanity are clearly explained & is based on research. While I am not gay, I highly recommend this book & the numerous articles. Being gay is no more of a sin than having red hair. They are both determined by genetics & clearly not a sin. There is nothing wrong with you. This is the true choice. Peace

The best thing we can do to show love to gay people, is to tell them the truth. Going along with a lie is not loving them.
Homosexuality is sin. God can help them overcome it.
Can God help me "overcome" being heterosexual? There is nothing to "overcome" because I simply am heterosexual . . . I don't "choose" to be what I am. In the same way, gay or bi people don't "choose" to be this way, they simply are. I suggest it would be more accurate (and loving) to say God will help them manage the (sexual) temptations in the same way God helps me manage my heterosexual sexual temptations. If a gay person does not engage in sexual activity, then they have not "sinned" just for being gay.

Sooner or later we will have to explain why sexual desires with children or animals is sinful. I am not even kidding in this generation of degeneracy.
Sex with children and animals is way way worse than consensual homosexual acts. They are completely different like please do realize that. We need to support those struggling with homosexuality not incinuate that they are abusive or creeps or pedophiles because that is on a way more severe level of evil and is akin to persecution which is not Jesus' way and is also sinful.
Perversion breeds more perversion. It is 1000% true. Awful but yes it is true.
That makes me literally ill to think that will ever happen. Come Lord Jesus! I hate this evil!
Sin is sin .. God doesnt see one thing worse then the other .. humanly we do but God doesnt @bluecosmo.
@@ceasarjuarez1593 It bothers me when people say this stuff because in what way do you think God doesn't pay mind to the sin that you are committing? Was it not "eye for an eye"? God made us in his image and the only reason we have a knowledge of what's right and wrong and what is genuinely wickedly, evil, disgusting, and detestable such as sex with a child or animal is because God has and always had that knowledge and unfortunately tried to protect us from it but we all know the story. We did not come up with that on our own as you're suggesting, not at all. God created us. And also God created Satan who betrayed him, but God did create Him. This means that God always had a knowledge of good and evil things, and we are so lucky our God is good. There are sins that are worse than others and some things can be forgiven but somethings cannot, and the punishment on Earth, biblically, should fit the crime. The enemy who is so wickedly evil in every way can never be forgiven and God has recognized this, the enemy is truly filled with hate for God and us in every way. God knows this difference. Jeffrey Dahmer raping and killing 15 times is not the same as a child who talked disrespectfully to their parents 15 times. And acting like God doesn't recognize that is silly to me and disrespectful. God is merciful, but God is all-knowing and ever watching. Between Dahmer and the rude child, I feel inclined to be more merciful towards the latter, as God is merciful to us, and the other, not so much because his 15 sins ravaged lives permanently while the child just needed to mature

Being tempted is not sin, committing these sins in your heart and mind is sin, doing these sins is sin. We are so fallen as a society we think having these desires in our hearts and minds is okay, it is not. We all need to resist temptations and encourage others to stand firm also. We need to encourage people not to just resist acting on sinful lusts, but to also not think or desire to do them. Jesus covers this in his sermon on the mount, the battle ground is not just in our external actions it’s before that, it’s in our hearts and minds.
Fantasy is sin, because it is something a human can seek solace in, when they should be turning to God to be comforted. All same sex desire features such fantasy. LGBT sexuality is not some neutral thing if you don't act on it...remember where Jesus said murder and adultery start? In the heart...with fantasy.

I am so glad you guys covered this question.
For everyone in the comments section criticizing why this channel would even cover this question I have to wonder if you ever step outside of your Christian “bubbles” and get to know people who are secular. If you did you would understand that our society is completely confused about this subject. This channel is doing a great thing by trying to meet people where they are at. And a lot of people truly think homosexual relationships are not just ok but that they should be celebrated with pride; some of these people even have self proclaimed Christian leaders telling them this.
The question is not the problem. As in the "Should Christians celebrate halloween" short it's the answers that are the problem for me. To say "same sex attraction, per se is not always an active, willful sin" is beyond dangerous as it can lead someone straight to hell. There are only two choices, Heaven or hell. This channel appears to tickle ears instead of proclaiming God's truth.

God says in His Word in multiple ways and at multiple times throughout biblical history that it’s a sinful practice.🙏🏽
If you are wondering about the question of whether your sexuality is a sin or not, I welcome you to consider the following thoughts for clarification. Let’s look at some basic fundamental facts based on extensive research & ongoing R&D. During fetal development a verity of biochemical agents are introduced which determine the development of the fetus. Research has shown that major agents such as testosterone & estrogen & a host of others agents determine size, weight, hair color, eye color & sexuality along with a host of other traits. Variations in the amount & timing of the introduction of these agents have a major effect in development. The fetus is a passive participant & has no influence in these matters. Sexuality, for example, & all other secondary traits are thus given to us. Well, this begs the question, is homosexuality a sin since there is no choice offered. The fetus has no willful acceptance. However, if your religion or belief system states that it is a sin, then there can be no discussion. These are the rules based on this system’s dogma. If you accept this system, you must accept the rules. Facts are irrelevant. This is your only choice which doesn’t include options & exceptions. Rules are rules!
If, however, you are in a belief system based on logic, reason, observation & common sense, & no reliance on spirituality or religion, the conclusion is totally different. Replacing ancient religion & mythology & superstition with reason leads to another conclusion. Leaving religions that use condemnation & ridicule for control, can be the first step in becoming a true human being minus any imposed or fabricated guilt. There exist many variations of human sexual expression as well in the animal kingdom. When you leave various ancient religious beliefs behind & chose knowledge based in research, you can see & understand the true nature of humanity. You leave ignorance, hatred, & prejudice behind.

Some days Im truly at a loss at living this life. According to the Bible, Im not allowed to act on my feelings, not allowed to be in a relationship, cant watch porn. So what then? Am I really just supposed to be celibate and alone for the next 30-40 years? Everyone around me gets to find someone, have families, but people like me just have to spend our lives Alone? Make this make sense.
1. READ your Bible.
2. OBEY your Bible.
3. PRAY to accept Jesus as your Savior, which includes obeying the Bible.
4. IF you are attracted to guys, ask God to remove that feeling and DONT FEED that feeling by having friends that do any hmsxl activities; and DONT watch porn etc.
5. ATTEND a Godly evangelical type church; plenty of Godly people there that will steer you/help you in the right direction.
6. ASK GOD to bring you the RIGHT wife for you. and DONT go looking in bars or nightclubs etc.
7. WHEN the right spouse shows up, DONT RUIN that relationship by engaging in sxl behavior or sxl talk, etc. DO clean activities with them instead.
8. AFTER you MARRY that person, THEN you have sxl activity ONLY with that person.
NOW it makes sense, but ONLY if you OBEY GOD. after a nasty divorce, I asked God for some one to spend a lot of time with. the next week I met a great guy. I took him to church, he accepted Christ by a prayer commitment via the youth pastor, then we got married, now married almost 50 happy years!!! THATS HOW to do it RIGHT!!! PROCEED!!
@@Lauren-vd4qeyour advice makes me laugh. Trying not to be gay is like trying to take the eggs out of a cake. Btw, my church says being gay is ok. I’ll still go to heaven according to my church. So there!!
@@grouchosdad1 1 Cor. 6:9!! DONT think so!!

homophobic acts need to be saved from
Sin is acting on your temptations
like homophobia!
All premarital sex is a sin, whether gay or straight. I wish the same energy were applied to heterosexuals who have boyfriends or girlfriends who are clearly intimate. Sometimes, it seems like there's less reinforcement regarding that and too much focus on homosexuals.
The Devil's objective is to make you believe it's unfair. You see heterosexual couples sinning "more" and "getting away with it" because there are just literally more heterosexuals shown everywhere. But that's an entirely different point. Both are very wrong and yes I wish that there was equal reinforcement that any sexual sin is wrong regardless of straight or gay. The fact that isn't not presented as equally wrong is precisely a small piece of what the Devil is using as a broken argument to keep homosexuals believing their own sin. It's also what's keeping a lot of heterosexual couples believing the lie that their sin is okay as well... because it's culturally accepted.
Most Christians disagree. They believe Homosexuality is the only sexual sin, that is why they spend so much time focusing on it. They dont see other sexual sins as harmful to people, only homosexuals are harmful to society to detrimental to ones salvation.
It was punished by law in my country.
However God's grace is bigger than our sins.
I believe it's written somewhere in the Bible that it's an abomination. Maybe in Leviticus.
This is a really good explanation.

Well, this guy just danced around the question. He would have done well to have quoted 1 Corinthians 6:9, " Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor EFFEMINATE, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,". By this we know that you can not have the righteousness of God through Jesus Christ and live such a life style. The truth is it is a sin. And should be stated as such.
Paul did not say the effeminate, he said malokos, meaning soft. As in weak in faith. Paul also never said abusers of themselves with mankind, he said arsenokotie for male lust. Now try again
Thank you for standing for truth

The guy has perfectly answered the question but the title “being gay” is very ambiguous. It’s not very specific to whether it means feeling same sex attracted or living the gay lifestyle. Being same sex attracted is something a lot of people like myself cannot control. I can testify to this because I’ve hardly felt a real attraction to a woman but without even trying I find myself attracted to guys everyday. I could pray and fast and the attractions will still not go. Thankfully, through understanding of Gods word I’ve understood it’s a result of the sin nature and I’ve surrendered this issue onto God.
ASK GOD to give you a repulsion every time the thought appears. and DONT feed it by watching crap on tv/internet or having iffy friends.

Jesus said:
" For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother’s womb; and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by people; and there are also eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who is able to accept this, let him accept it. - Matthew 19:12
If you love God with all your heard and look forward to the Kingdom heaven over your earthly desires even if it is a relationship here on earth, You will be willing to sacrifice these desires for God and the Kingdom of heaven.
However, that doesn't mean sinning means you aren't saved if you have homosexual desire or even if you have acted on it.
You are only saved by Faith in Christ, but true faith in Christ will lead to fruit... That fruit being the Holy Spirit convicting you of sin and leading to the desire to do right by God.

Yeah it is, but the real question is: did Jesus die for that sin?
Yes, Jesus died for every single sin. Acting on having sex with someone of the gender is a sin, but 100% is forgiven. Even if you do it more than once. Just confess it to Jesus and ask for forgiveness and we are forgiven. ❤❤❤❤❤
It might not be a sin to be tempted by a same sex attraction but there's definitely a difference between same sex attraction and that of the opposite sex. One is God given and one is not. However the God given attraction to the opposite sex can be sinful when it goes into lust.

"David & Jonathan were lovers"
We know from 1 Samuel 18:1 that Jonathan loved David. Second Samuel 1:26 records David’s lament after Jonathan’s death, in which he said that his love for Jonathan was more wonderful than the love of a woman. Some use these two passages to suggest a homosexual relationship between David and Jonathan. This interpretation, however, should be rejected for at least three reasons.
First, the Hebrew word for “love” used here covers a broad range of meanings and does not mean “romantic” or “sexual” love unless the context demands it. Forms of the same word are used for loving God (Exodus 20:6), loving one’s neighbor as oneself (Leviticus 19:18), treating foreigners well (Leviticus 19:34), sharing friendship (Job 19:19), having diplomatic ties (1 Kings 5:1), taking pleasure in the work of a subordinate (1 Samuel 16:21), and even “loving” inanimate things (Proverbs 21:17).
Second, The passage about David and Jonathan is 2 Samuel 1:25-27. Verses 25-27 are the final verses of a lament over Saul and Jonathan (v. 17).
How have the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! Jonathan is slain on your high places. I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan; You have been very pleasant to me. Your love to me was more wonderfulThan the love of women. How have the mighty fallen, And the weapons of war perished!” 2 Samuel 1:25-27 (NASB)
The important part of this passage is David’s statement “Your love to me was more wonderful than the love of women.” Homosexual advocates claim that “love of women” reveals that David and Jonathan were making love like men do with women. Therefore, when David said Jonathan’s love was “more wonderful then” David was referring to sexual activity. The major problem with this view is that the Hebrew word that is used for both words translated “love” in verse 26 is ahaba, which is derived from aheb. That is, this “love” is the common Hebrew word for love, with some intensity.
But the major problem with this view is that the Hebrew word for sexual love is dod and not aheb or ahaba. The Hebrew word dod is the primary word for sexual foreplay and intercourse in Hebrew. Of the 61 times the word appears in the Old Testament, 32 times it appears in Song of Solomon. It is the only word used for love in the fourth chapter of the book which describes foreplay and sexual intercourse between Solomon and his wife. Dod appears in Song of Solomon 4:10 and 16. In verse 10, the Hebrew word dod appears in the plural. That is, Solomon’s wife is engaged in different activities that is commonly called foreplay today. She is doing different things to stimulate him.
How beautiful is your love, my sister, my bride! How much better is your love than wine, And the fragrance of your oils Than all kinds of spices! Song of Solomon 4:10 (NASB)
In appears once in Song of Solomon 4:16 in the singular. That is why the NASB translates dod as “Beloved.”
Awake, O north wind, And come, wind of the south; Make my garden breathe out fragrance, Let its spices be wafted abroad. May my beloved come into his garden And eat its choice fruits!” Song of Solomon 4:16 (NASB)
A more accurate translation would be “Lover.” He is a sexual lover involved in foreplay in verse 10 and sexual intercourse in verse 16. It should be noted that she refers to him as “Beloved” or “Lover.”
This lengthy explanation of dod reveals that David’s statement, “Your love to me was more wonderful than the love of women,” is not a reference to sexual activity between David and Jonathan.
2 Samuel 1:25-27 is better understood as a very strong friendship commitment between two men. The word aheb is used in Psalm 109:4-5 for friendship. Proverbs 17:17 tells us that there are friends whose love is better than that of a brother.
A friend loves at all times, And a brother is born for adversity. Proverbs 17:17 (NASB)
This helps us understand that the David and Jonathan friendship was a covenantal love. Jonathan was better than a brother. Therefore, the question must be asked, “Since when must love between two people always refer to genital contact?”
Dale Ralph Davis in his commentary on 2 Samuel writes, It is utterly wrong-headed to read the idea of homosexuality into this text. The comparison between Jonathan’s love and a wife’s love is not at the point of sexuality but at the point of fidelity. Matthew Henry saw this long ago:
He had reason to say that Jonathan’s love to him was wonderful; surely never was the like, for a man to love one who he knew was to take away the crown over his head, and to be so faithful to his rival: this far surpassed the highest degree of conjugal affection and constancy.
Jonathan was totally devoted to David becoming king of lsrael.
David’s comparison of his relationship with Jonathan with that of women is probably a reference to his experience with King Saul’s daughters. He was promised one of Saul’s daughters for killing Goliath. The first daughter was abruptly given to another man. The second daughter was promised, but Saul continued to add conditions to the deal, hoping to see David killed in battle (1 Samuel 18:17, 25). The loyalty and camaraderie David had with Jonathan came with no conditions and was of greater value than the companionship of Saul’s daughter.
Third, the Bible clearly and consistently denounces homosexuality (Genesis 1:26-27; Leviticus 18:22; 20:13; Romans 1:18-25). Extolling a homosexual love between David and Jonathan would be contradicting the prohibitions of it found throughout the Bible.
The friendship between David and Jonathan was a covenantal relationship. In 1 Samuel 18:1-5, we read of David and Jonathan forming an agreement. In this agreement, Jonathan was to be second in command in David’s future reign, and David was to protect Jonathan’s family (1 Samuel 20:16-17, 42; 23:16-18).
Obviously, these two men were also very good friends. In their relationship we can see at least three qualities of true friendship. First, they sacrificed for one another. In 1 Samuel 18:4, we read that Jonathan gave David his clothes and military garb. The significance of this gift was that Jonathan recognized that David would one day be king of Israel. Rather than being envious or jealous, Jonathan submitted to God’s will and sacrificed his own right to the throne. Second, in 1 Samuel 19:1-3, we read of Jonathan’s loyalty toward and defense of David. King Saul told his followers to kill David. Jonathan rebuked his father and recalled David’s faithfulness to him in killing Goliath. Finally, Jonathan and David were also free to express their emotions with one another. In 1 Samuel 20, we read of a plan concocted by Jonathan to reveal his father’s plans toward David. Jonathan was going to practice his archery. If he told his servant that the arrows he shot were to the side of the target, David was safe. If Jonathan told his servant that the arrows were beyond the target, David was to leave and not return. Jonathan told the servant that the arrows were beyond the target, meaning that David should flee. After releasing his servant, Jonathan found David and the two men cried together.
Rather than being evidence for a homosexual relationship in the Bible, the account of David and Jonathan is an example of true biblical friendship. True friendship, according to the Bible, involves loyalty, sacrifice, compromise, and yes, emotional attachment. That is what we should learn from David and Jonathan. The idea that David and Jonathan were practicing homosexuals (or bisexuals) has no biblical basis
The Bible does say this is unnatural
Yes homophobia is unatural

WARNING: for all you who think that just NOT committing the act (sin) is enough...consider this:

can you consider this? If you are wondering about the question of whether your sexuality is a sin or not, I welcome you to consider the following thoughts for clarification. Let’s look at some basic fundamental facts based on extensive research & ongoing R&D. During fetal development a verity of biochemical agents are introduced which determine the development of the fetus. Research has shown that major agents such as testosterone & estrogen & a host of others agents determine size, weight, hair color, eye color & sexuality along with a host of other traits. Variations in the amount & timing of the introduction of these agents have a major effect in development. The fetus is a passive participant & has no influence in these matters. Sexuality, for example, & all other secondary traits are thus given to us. Well, this begs the question, is homosexuality a sin since there is no choice offered. The fetus has no willful acceptance. However, if your religion or belief system states that it is a sin, then there can be no discussion. These are the rules based on this system’s dogma. If you accept this system, you must accept the rules. Facts are irrelevant. This is your only choice which doesn’t include options & exceptions. Rules are rules!
If, however, you are in a belief system based on logic, reason, observation & common sense, & no reliance on spirituality or religion, the conclusion is totally different. Replacing ancient religion & mythology & superstition with reason leads to another conclusion. Leaving religions that use condemnation & ridicule for control, can be the first step in becoming a true human being minus any imposed or fabricated guilt. There exist many variations of human sexual expression as well in the animal kingdom. When you leave various ancient religious beliefs behind & chose knowledge based in research, you can see & understand the true nature of humanity. You leave ignorance, hatred, & prejudice behind. In the book Gay Straight & the Reason Why by Simon Levay PhD, explanations regarding this aspect of humanity are clearly explained & is based on research. While I am not gay, I highly recommend this book & the numerous articles. Being gay is no more of a sin than having red hair. They are both determined by genetics & clearly not a sin. There is nothing wrong with you. This is the true choice. Peace
No. It is NOT a sin to BE gay. Sexual (gay) activities/behaviors are sinful (in the same way that heterosexual sexual behaviours outside of marriage).
A sexual immoral life will send you to hell ... , if you repent and recognize for what it is gay or straight and fight it through the power of the spirit that is given to those who believe and repent , you will be sanctified and have a life in the battle ..
I don't know what to say other than that's just wrong. Being tempted isn't a sin but giving into those temptations and getting into a same sex relationship IS a sin since it goes against the way God has made us. Mark 10: 6-8 "But from the beginning of the creation, God ‘made them male and female.’ ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’; so then they are no longer two, but one flesh."
Yep!
At last, someone tells the world as it really is. Yes, sexual activity between two people of the same gender IS THE SIN! However, just having an attraction to a person of the same gender without entering into a sexual relationship IS NOT SIN! The amount of 'Christians' that condemn people for just having same sex attraction appals me. Trying to explain, to them, that it is the action that is sinful and these 'Christians refuse to accept this. Thank you so much for this clarification.

During fetal development a verity of biochemical agents are introduced which determine the development of the fetus. Research has shown that major agents such as testosterone & estrogen & a host of others agents determine size, weight, hair color, eye color & sexuality along with a host of other traits. Variations in the amount & timing of the introduction of these agents have a major effect in development. The fetus is a passive participant & has no influence in these matters. Sexuality, for example, & all other secondary traits are thus given to us. Well, this begs the question, is homosexuality a sin since there is no choice offered. The fetus has no willful acceptance. However, if your religion or belief system states that it is a sin, then there can be no discussion. These are the rules based on this system’s dogma. If you accept this system, you must accept the rules. Facts are irrelevant. This is your only choice which doesn’t include options & exceptions. Rules are rules!
If, however, you are in a belief system based on logic, reason, observation & common sense, & no reliance on spirituality or religion, the conclusion is totally different. Replacing ancient religion & mythology & superstition with reason leads to another conclusion. Leaving religions that use condemnation & ridicule for control, can be the first step in becoming a true human being minus any imposed or fabricated guilt. There exist many variations of human sexual expression as well in the animal kingdom. When you leave various ancient religious beliefs behind & chose knowledge based in research, you can see & understand the true nature of humanity. You leave ignorance, hatred, & prejudice behind. In the book Gay Straight & the Reason Why by Simon Levay PhD, explanations regarding this aspect of humanity are clearly explained & is based on research. While I am not gay, I highly recommend this book & the numerous articles. Being gay is no more of a sin than having red hair. They are both determined by genetics & clearly not a sin. There is nothing wrong with you. This is the true choice. Peace
Yes, it is a sin, my brothers and sisters in Christ, we must stand up against the evil of the world. They try to get us to support their sinful actions and lives, we must have the courage to resist and show them that they will never win! I will fight for the rest of my days against pride and what stands for it.
YES HOMOPHOBIA IS A SIN
@ministermattocks7570 While I was talking about homosexuality being a sin, extreme homophobia to the extent of hatred against gays is also a sin.
@@biggestpoufan1727 as is the lie that homosexuality is a sin is too
When something goes against the natural order that God has put in place, it is sin.
Thank you for inviting questions of all kinds, for the Holy Spirit cannot change that which is unaccepted. A gentle reminder that in my faith there is no acceptable sex outside of marriage.

You’re not born that way. It’s a sin. It’s flesh. When you don’t walk in the spirit you end up walking in the flesh. To walk in the flesh is to give into lustful desires.
You're born a sinner
"Jesus never said anything about it"
Jesus *did* address the issue of homosexuality.
Jesus addresses it in Matthew 5 & Matthew 19.
In these chapters, Jesus addresses the issue of marriage. Jesus rooted His understanding of marriage in the teaching of Genesis 2, which gives us marriage between a man and a woman for the purposes of procreation, illustration and sanctification.
He also made it very clear that what God has joined together, man cannot separate. In other words, God is the author of marriage, not man. Therefore, God is the one who defines marriage, not man.
Therefore, man does not have the right to introduce the concept of same sex marriage because:
1.) By definition it's not marriage, it's another thing.
2.) Because by definition, it goes against what has been created in Genesis 2.
Jesus did address the issue of homosexuality, because He addressed the issue of sexual impurity. He addressed the issue of fornication.
Jesus in the sermon on the mount talks about porneia. He talks about sexual impurity, which is a reference to the porneia code in leviticus 18 which clearly upholds the idea that homosexuality is sinful.
The Bigger issue with "Jesus never said anything about homosexuality" is that it's not just that Jesus is God but that Jesus is a member of the Godhead. It's not just that Jesus is divine, but that He is a member of the Trinity.
Jesus has existed eternally as God & Jesus has existed eternally in perfect union with the Father and The Holy Spirit.
Although He ook on a human nature in His incarnation, He did not come into existence in His incarnation.
You cannot divorce Jesus from the rest of the Bible.
Therefore, when you read in Leviticus 20:1 that "The Lord said to Moses" then that *is* Jesus speaking.
You also cannot separate Jesus from the Father and the Holy Spirit on the issue of homosexuality.
You cannot claim that Jesus never addressed the issue of homosexuality, unless you want to argue that Jesus has a different opinion on the matter than God the Father & God the Holy Spirit, which is hugely problematic because that would mean a breach in the Trinity and the whole universe would cave in on itself.
Lastly, The Bible is one story. Not many.
You can no more separate Jesus from Paul or Peter than you can separate Jesus from The Father or The Holy Spirit.
What do the apostles teach? The apostles are whose apostles? They are Christ's apostles.
So the teaching that they give us, is the authoritative teaching of the church from The Lord Jesus Christ Himself.
It’s not just a sin but an abomination per the Scriptures. Next!
Feelings or action?
Neither!
Being gay is normal in reality and life.
We don’t need a make believe god or gods…..
"Homosexuality as an *orientation* is not addressed in scripture"
Firstly.
The Bible tells us in Matthew 15:19 that it begins in our hearts and minds. Before we commit an act of sin, we will think about it. All sin starts in the mind.
Then terms: "vile affections", "burned in their lust", "working", "natural use", etc. are used in Romans 1:24-27 (KJV), & clearly involve both mental and physical homosexuality.
When God create something or assign a role, when the person reject the assigned duty or role is a sin.
@@Goinghome2024 wrong. I was born gay. I did not choose it. You read too much into scripture.
@@Goinghome2024 according to my church, god assigned some people to be gay. Perhaps your church is incorrect.
@@grouchosdad1no is born gay there is no scriptural basis for it
@@chrissmith8198 yes, people ARE INDEED BORN GAY! It really doesn’t matter whether or not scripture supports that fact. It’s true. Can you, as a heterosexual, actually speak for gay people? If so, you’re amazing. I happen to be Caucasian, but I don’t walk around telling people that I know what it’s like to be born black. GOD CREATES GAY PEOPLE.
@@grouchosdad1 he creates people yes but The sad reality is that we live in a fallen world, and all creation “groans” under the consequences of our sin (Romans 8:22) and In Adam, we sinned and fell, becoming corrupted ourselves. Thus, we are born in sin (Psalm 51:5) and are evil from our youth up (Genesis 8:21). Therefore, death reigns over all (Romans 5:12) "because all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God".
We also know from 2 Corinthians 4:4 that
4 satan, *who is the god of this world,* has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe.
We are also taught in Ephesians 2:2 *he is the spirit at work* in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God."
So we can see from scripture that is infact *our sinful natures* and *satan* who is god of this world that causes people to sin, and not just satan, but also his demons, according to Ephesians 6:12
So the statement "God made me this way" has *no* real scriptural basis.
James 1:14-15 tells us that "14 each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their *own* evil desire and enticed. 15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death."
To claim that God gave or created people with these evil desires is also false as just one verse earlier in James 1:13 it says "13 *When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.”* For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone
Moreover, 1 Corinthians 10:13 says "No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it."
YES IT IS ! GOD HELP THIS COUNTRY!!!!
What is taking 7 minutes let me do in 5 seconds or 1 second. Yes it is a sin and will be forgiven if one repents and tries to break free from that life style.
It’s astonishing how many evangelical Christians wrap themselves in the banner of righteousness, only to wield their faith like a weapon of judgment. Comparing gay people to pedophiles or criminals? That’s not just ignorant-it’s a vile insult.
Let’s be real: this kind of arrogance comes from a place of fear and prejudice, not love or morality. Jesus didn’t sit with the self-righteous; he embraced the outcasts. But many who claim to follow him are quick to condemn what they refuse to understand.
Before you preach about sin, take a good look at the hypocrisy and cruelty that hides behind your so-called faith.
👨❤️👨⛪️🏳️🌈
And he told them to repent. He didn't affirm their sin
Yes, it's a sin. So is lusting after the same sex. But Jesus will help you overcome the temptation. We are all sinners but we live under His grace. He forgives us our sins if we ask and believe.
no homophobia is a sin, the lust of hate of LGBT is also a sin.....but Jesus will help u with this temptation.
Is it a sin to have same sex attractions? I don't think so. One cannot avoid all temptation, but it is alwsys a good thing to ask God for help. But it is always a sin to engage in homosexual behavior.
If you have received Jesus Christ as your Savior, you have the Holy Spirit living inside you. God always gives us a way out of every temptation. We just have to receive and act right on this gift
According to the Word YES. It's not debatable. Repent. God never compromises or changes His Word to accommodate anyone's personal feelings.
We don't change the Word to align with how we think or feel. We change how we think and feel to align with what is written in God's Word. If God didn't tolerate this type of lifestyle in Sodom and Gomorrah, he definitely won't tolerate it in this day and age. Let their destruction be a warning to all who practice this type of lifestyle. Repent or face the same consequences.
I think that the more pertinent question is whether recreational sex in any form is a sin? What I am trying to convey is that some people will never marry for a myriad of reasons. And since this is the case, do you really think that God would not allow them to enjoy the wonderful pleasure of sex, simply because they didn't get married? It just flies in the face of common sense and reason. Not buying it.
Bro you are confusing between Temptation and desire.....
"God created me this way"
The sad reality is that we live in a fallen world, and all creation “groans” under the consequences of our sin (Romans 8:22) and In Adam, we sinned and fell, becoming corrupted ourselves. Thus, we are born in sin (Psalm 51:5) and are evil from our youth up (Genesis 8:21). Therefore, death reigns over all (Romans 5:12) "because all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God".
We also know from 2 Corinthians 4:4 that
4 satan, *who is the god of this world,* has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.
We are also taught in Ephesians 2:2 "You used to live in sin, just like the rest of the world, obeying the devil-the commander of the powers in the unseen world. *he is the spirit at work* in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God."
So we can see from scripture that is infact *our sinful natures* and *satan* who is god of this world that causes people to sin, and not just satan, but also his demons, according to Ephesians 6:12 "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."
So the statement "God made me this way" has *no* real scriptural basis.
James 1:14-15 tells us that "14 each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their *own* evil desire and enticed. 15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death."
To claim that God gave or created people with these evil desires is also false as just one verse earlier in James 1:13 it says "13 *When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.”* For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone
Moreover, 1 Corinthians 10:13 says "No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it."
God calls *everyone* regardless of how they choose to identify to repent of their sins and not to stay in them as Jesus Himself said in Luke 13:3 "I tell you, no; but unless you repent [change your old way of thinking, turn from your sinful ways and live changed lives], you will all likewise perish" and we are also told to repent in not just Luke 13:3, but also in Luke 15:10; Luke 24:47; Matthew 4:17; Matthew 11:20; Mark 1:15 and Acts 5:31.
In 2 Corinthians 5:17 we are told "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the *new* creation has come:[a] *The old has gone, the new is here!"*
And in Ephesians 4:20-24 we are taught "20 That, however, is not the way of life you learned 21 when you heard about Christ and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. 22 You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; 23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds; 24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness."
So even if we have a proclivity towards a particular sin, wether it be homosexuality or any other sin, it was not given by God and Jesus "gave himself for us to *redeem* us from all wickedness and to *purify* for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good." (Titus 2:14)
We find an example of this in 1 Corinthians 6:11 where it says, “And that is what some of you *were.* But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God” (emphasis added). This statement negates the idea of “homosexual Christianity” being acceptable to God. Paul tells the Corinthian believers that practices such as homosexuality were evidences of their former life before Christ. Now they have been *born again,* and they have a new nature and new desires. The old nature remains, and the temptations continue, but child of God has been called to fight against sin, not live in it any longer. By the life-changing grace of God, the Corinthians’ new life stands in opposition to the way they used to live.
Sin start with Desire.
Yep
When one claims to be born a homosexual, the same can one claims to be born a fornicator. If we can resist being a fornicator then we can resist engaging in homosexual activities.
Good point!
In all of it's aspects, it's clearly listed as a sin in several places.
Leviticus 20:13
If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.
Deuteronomy 22:5
A woman must not wear men’s clothing, nor a man wear women’s clothing, for the LORD your God detests anyone who does this.
God told the man Job to act like a man (differentiating man from woman).
Job 38:3
Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.
Once a righteous king took the throne and did what God wanted. One of his deeds was to remove all of the sodomites (homosexuals) out of the country.
1 Kings 15:11-12
And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, as did David his father.
And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.
My religion says it’s NOT A SIN. God makes gay people.
God did not make homosexuals. He made men and women. Through Jesus He gave us free choice. The person has chosen this sequel act.

I once heard someone suggest that Homosexuality is Satan's alteration to God's Gift of Celibacy. While God makes some people Celibate by having them abstaining from marriage and sexual activity, and enjoying the company of your own gender more than the opposite, like the Apostle Paul, for the work he has called them for, Satan uses it to make those people be attracted to their own gender. He suggested that this is the "Thorn in the Flesh" Paul was referring to in 2 Cor. 12:7-9. What do you think?
I think that the person that suggested that forgot about science and biology
God is not confused when He creates life inside the womb. Satan is the author of confusion.

another elephant If you are wondering about the question of whether your sexuality is a sin or not, I welcome you to consider the following thoughts for clarification. Let’s look at some basic fundamental facts based on extensive research & ongoing R&D. During fetal development a verity of biochemical agents are introduced which determine the development of the fetus. Research has shown that major agents such as testosterone & estrogen & a host of others agents determine size, weight, hair color, eye color & sexuality along with a host of other traits. Variations in the amount & timing of the introduction of these agents have a major effect in development. The fetus is a passive participant & has no influence in these matters. Sexuality, for example, & all other secondary traits are thus given to us. Well, this begs the question, is homosexuality a sin since there is no choice offered. The fetus has no willful acceptance. However, if your religion or belief system states that it is a sin, then there can be no discussion. These are the rules based on this system’s dogma. If you accept this system, you must accept the rules. Facts are irrelevant. This is your only choice which doesn’t include options & exceptions. Rules are rules!
If, however, you are in a belief system based on logic, reason, observation & common sense, & no reliance on spirituality or religion, the conclusion is totally different. Replacing ancient religion & mythology & superstition with reason leads to another conclusion.
