Does God consider homosexuality a sin

I pulled this out from another thread - so as not to derail.

So is homosexuality a sin, and all those who are homosexuals are going to hell?

Someone very close to me is gay. He is one of the nicest, most caring people I know. A wonderful father and truly a great person. Never has he hurt anyone. He will always go out of his way to help anyone in need, and is very sensitive to all around him.

So as someone him loves him, should I break this shocking news to him that all his wonderful qualities are wasted on God, and he should prepare himself for the fires of hell

Rubbish. Thing is this, someone can take any passage from the Bible and give their own spin on it, and call it right. I am not a big believer of any organized religion, but my feeling is this, we were created to love thy neighbor, and to not throw stones.
Who, exactly , is a gay or lesbian person hurting? Several years ago, one of my closest friends was a gay man. We got along great and went out several times, as friends. I always felt confortable with him and since we have gone our separate ways in life, I do miss his friendship.

to answer your question ... one has to always suppose that the person answering the question BELIEVES in god ... leaving god and religion aside ...

i am in the antique business and come into daily contact with fellow humans who are gay and lesbian because 90% of them are very sensitive and creative and they like antiques and collectables ...

i have found most of them ... with of course a few exceptions ... to be just like straight people ....

what men and women do and how they live their lives in terms of their choice of partner is entirely their business ... and, while i have no hard and fast facts to back this up myself ... i believe that the majority of the paedophiles in the world are straight and not gay ...

No, I don't believe God considers homosexuality to be a sin. But some human beings do.

GOD! I'M CALLING YOU OUT.....SHOW YOURSELF AND FIGHT, OR BE KNOWN FOREVER AS A PU$$Y........rj...

Maybe that will get his/her/it's attention.....Can't say I didn't try...

Message from God to RJ.....

BUT BEFORE I RESPOND TO YOU CALLING ME OUT - I NEED TO KNOW IF YOU ARE GAY?

If so, I might be willing to reduce some of my demands and let Jesus 'save' me.

Jesus, honey, how you doin' baby?

Yikes! So what are (shut-up I'm trying to type!) these voices in (I said cut it out!) my head?

Pheas, please define 'sin'.

Sin is not really a word I would normally use. But when pulling it out of the link on the original post ....

All sin is offensive to God

I would image that all religious people, and those promoting the word of god see it as stated in that link ?

I prefer to use the terms good or bad.

Anyone else interested (men only) in joining in to make it a party?

You are changing the course of my thread. (I'll delete my posts so I can blame you totally ).

I don't want this thread to become a Jesus bashing session. I think that would be insulting to others here. So lets get back on track

As a believer, yes I think God considers homosexuality as a sin. Do I think they are all going to hell, no.
