Since Being GAY is a SIN. Why GOD make me GAY?
100773
Being gay isn't a sin. Acting on it is. I am a heteralsexual and I can't just say, God made me a sexual being, so I can have sex any time and with anybody I want." Sexual sin is sexual sin, no matter who it's performed with. Why do you think God gave guidelines for living? was it to "spoil all our fun"? When you discipline your children, is it because you want to be mean to them, or because you know better than they do what is good for them?\nWe have done things our own way for awhile now and what has it gotten us? AIDS, STD's, teen pregnancies, abortion, sky high crime rates, kids killing kids... I could go on and on, but that is enough to get you thinking.\nOne more thought. As humans, we have more intelligance and reasoning power than our pets. If we saw our pet doing something potentially harmful, would we stop him or, so he won't think we are mean, allow that behavior? And if we stop him, will he understand why? No, but we know. When God says no, we won't always understand why, but we can be sure that He knows and it's for our own good.

Thas not true.  I am neither one of those but I can tell you that God says no sin is greater than the other.  Wether you murder your parents or do a man when your a man thats still sin to him and every soul may seek forgiveness.  You may not be correct in your actions, you may not follow all the laws of god, but you can still believe.  God says that taking the same sex to bed together is a sin and he also says that gossip is a sin but nine out of ten times i bet you do that, so what makes you or anyone else better than the other.  If you are gay or a lesbain, to me, that is your sin, you will answer to god just like me for my sins.  Which is greater?  How can god put a scale on how bad you hurt him?  A sin is just that, a sin to god.  Worldly pleasures are just worldly pleasures.  Just try and live your life as correct as possible for god and it shouldn't matter if you're gay or a lesbain.  Just let him know you believe and ask him to live in your heart.  If you truely except him than the lord will help you discover who he has planned for you to love.

As a minister I can assure you just because you are gay this not what will keep you out of heaven. No where in the bible does it ever imply that because you are gay you are a sinner. Now however it does teach that if you practice sin ,that is what will send you to hell. It is the practice of homosexuality that is sinful. the same applys to a whole lot of straight folks to. Adultry ,fornication ,lying etc.\n  Read and study these verses : You will find it is Sin  against Gods will that sends folks to hell and sin applys to all people . \n  NIV 1 Timothy 1:9-10\n9  We also know that law  is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious; for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, \n10  for adulterers and perverts, for slave traders and liars and perjurers--and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine \n\n\nNIV 1 Timothy 4:1-3\n1  The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. \n2  Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. \n3  They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth. \n\n\nNIV Revelation 21:7-8\n7  He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son. \n8  But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars--their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death." \n\n\nNIV Romans 1:21-32\n21  For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. \n22  Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools \n23  and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles. \n24  Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. \n25  They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator--who is forever praised. Amen. \n26  Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. \n27  In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion. \n28  Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. \n29  They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, \n30  slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; \n31  they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. \n32  Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them. \n\n\nNIV Romans 13:13  Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. \n\n\nNIV 1 Corinthians 5:9  I have written you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people-- \n\n\nNIV 1 Corinthians 5:11  But now I am writing you that you must not associate with anyone who calls himself a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a slanderer, a drunkard or a swindler. With such a man do not even eat. \n\n\nNIV 1 Corinthians 6:9-11\n9  Do you not know that the wicked w

why would a homosexual want to be a christian anyway. why would anybody try to fit into a place that doesn't want to accept them.

It is totally possible to hold Christian beliefs and be gay. It's just not possible to believe that God accept's your lifestyle. The Bible makes it clear that same sexes coming together is an abomination. either give up the penis or Prepare to swim in the lake of fire dude.

There is nothing wrong with being gay, be proud of who you are.  \nNow search for a GOD that you want to worship and who will accept you.   GOD is all loving\n\nDEMOCRACY IN HEAVEN

Being Gay is wrong here is your proof\nRo 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: \nRo 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. \nRo 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: \nRo 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.

sure,it's OK. i mean,what does his sexual orientation have to do with anything? he is a person like everyone else,he has feelings and no matter he is gay,he is still a child of God. people are selfish and they don't see that being gay is not that bad.Christians often think that being gay is a big sin,but so what?God won't send him to hell if his only sin is that he's gay.He will send to hell sooner those people who hate him because he's gay! So what's my point,there's nothing wrong with having a gay priest as long as he's a good person and as long as he does his job with pleasure and faith.

I personally think the too don't mix well....\n\nI dont think there is anything wrong with being gay, but there isnt much room for homosexuality in religion. Technically, being gay is a sin, but we are all sinners....

I believe that we all go to Heaven sooner or later. i don't believe that being gay is a sin in and of itself. Being gay is NOT an abomination. It's who a person is. (example) I'm attracted to dark haired men. Blonds just don't do it for me. Gay people are attracted to what they're attracted to.. what's the difference? No one ever says anything about my sexual likes and dislikes. And God loves everyone. no matter where you are.

God created devils too ,God created good and bad.We have to choose which path we want to take.And no child is born gay ,as they get older the person chooses what they want to be .  \nBible:\nSome will say that a person may be born with homosexual tendencies. We say that everyone is a free agent. God lays before us two paths and has given us knowledge of where these paths lead. One is the path to which the devil call us. We must avoid that. One is the path leading to paradise. We must stick to that one. Everyone experiences evil prompting from time to time. We must resist those with all our might. If one feels a tendency to do something that God prohibits, he or she should seek help from a  community of loving, caring, believers who would understand his or her difficulty and help him or her overcome it.

Well being straight, I do not know what it is like to be attracted to someone of the same sex.  However, if it does happen, I would think that you can't control it.  If your religious believes are really strong, and you really do NOT want to "Be gay"  well then do what you gotta do.  Realize that you can't really turn off you attraction.  Maybe you can be single for the rest of your life.

"how to make some one gay" This is a stupid question, you can't make someone gay. And why would you want to know that? Are you gay and you want someone else to be gay too? well just ask them if there gay, or stick your finger up them and if they don't punch the crap out of you then the are gay ;)

Absolutely not!  If God didn't want people to be gay he wouldn't have made them that way.  No where in the bible does it say that homosexuality is wrong.  And even if they did, the bible was written by people.  It's just been interpreted that why by a bunch of homophoblic individuals (i.e. closet gays) who can't bear to see other people actually be happy.  God made you gay, and trying to change that has got to be worse than sleeping with men!  I mean, if you try to change you you are isn't that basically saying that God screwed up?  Don't try to change who you are.  If there is a heaven, you'll get in.\n\nIt's not unnatural or unhealthy to be gay.  People have been engaging in sexual relations with others of the same gender for all of recorded history.  Many primates engage in homosexual relations.  There's even a species of fruit-fly that does it.  At some point someone decided it was wrong, but it's not.  It's perfectly natural.  Do whatever feels right and don't worry about what other people think, or what other people tell you God will think.\n\nEdit: I was just reading mckenziecalhoun's post, and it made me think.  This isn't entirely relevent (or really at all relevent), but when I think about it, it seems to me that people who think they're going to Hell generally actually won't.  I'm basing that on the idea that if you repent for your sins you won't go to Hell.  My understand of repent is that you have to sincerely feel bad.  If you believe you're going to Hell, you believe you did something bad.  It's one thing if you lightheartedly reason it out and determine you're going to Hell, but if you actually believe it, I think that constitutes remorse.

What does religion and homosexuality have to do with anything?\n\nYou can be gay and still be spiritual, just the same as a straight person can be spiritual.

As a gay Christian I can truthfully answer you by saying that it is not a simple matter of just stopping being gay and starting being straight.\n\nI knew from about the age of 12 that I was "different" from all the other boys, I just didn't know a word to describe that difference. It wasn't that I was "girly" because I wasn't, I did all the same things all the other boys did but I was just "different". As I got older I knew what that difference was and I knew from church that it was "wrong".\n\nI prayed so hard for God to change me - I worked in the Church, I sang in the choir, I did everything I could to let God know that I was a good boy. I tried extra hard at school, I didn't swear, I did everything my parents asked. all the other kids hated me because I was a "goody two shoes" but still I wanted God to know that I wanted to be "normal.\n\nI prayed and prayed and prayed. I abstained from ALL sex in the vain hope that if I just didn't have sex at all God would make me "normal". I continued to go to Church and listen to the hypocrisy from the pulpit even knowing that sitting just over there was an adulterer and everybody in the congregation knew it (including his wife and the priest). Yet still God would not make me "normal".\n\nWhy was I being punished? What did I ever do wrong? I had only ever did good things, I had done Community Service for the elderly, joined Cadets and cleared up after bushfires, collected money for the Red Cross and Guide Dogs for the Blind. Why, oh why was I being punished?\n\nThen at the ripe old age of 32 I could stand it no longer. I did not turn my back on God but we came to an understanding. I realised that God made me just as I am!\n\nYou see God is incapable of making mistakes, He doesn't put people on this earth to torture them, nor does He put them here for people like you to abuse us. What He puts us here for is to test our faith and to test yours.\n\nYou see I have passed my test. You on the other hand need to keep reading the Bible and look at Jesus' teachings. Just read the Gospels - don't worry about the interpretations that come after they were all written well after Jesus was long gone. They are the Chinese whispers Books.\n\nDon't listen to the false prophets that stand in the pulpits of the Churches because they don't have a clue. Remember it was those same Priests that Jesus argued with when He was here the first time because they get too caught up in the WORDS they forget the MEANINGS. This is what He said:\n\nMatthew 23\nSeven Woes \n 1Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: 2"The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat. 3So you must obey them and do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. 4They tie up heavy loads and put them on men's shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them. \n 5"Everything they do is done for men to see: They make their phylacteries[a] wide and the tassels on their garments long; 6they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; 7they love to be greeted in the marketplaces and to have men call them 'Rabbi.' \n\n 8"But you are not to be called 'Rabbi,' for you have only one Master and you are all brothers. 9And do not call anyone on earth 'father,' for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. 10Nor are you to be called 'teacher,' for you have one Teacher, the Christ.[b] 11The greatest among you will be your servant. 12For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted. \n\n 13"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven in men's faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to.[c] \n\n 15"Woe to you, te
