Is Gay Behavior a Sin? This Is Where the American People Stand on the Morality of Homosexuality

Jan. 11, 2013 10:45am Billy Hallowell

It’s one thing to ask Americans if they believe that gay marriage should be legal, but it’s an entirely different matter to ask if acting out on same-sex attraction is sinful. With opinions continuously evolving on the matter, it seems the public has become more accepting of same-sex unions — but what about the purported moral issues associated with homosexuality?

Is Homosexual Behavior a Sin? LifeWay Research Asks Americans to Weigh In

LifeWay Research conducted a survey back in November — the results of which were released on Thursday. The organization asked respondents, “Do you believe homosexual behavior is a sin?” Forty-five percent of the American public said that it is not, with 37 percent answering affirmatively, and an additional 17 percent saying that it did not know which side to select.

These findings paint a starkly different picture when compared to the results from the same question that was asked by LifeWay in its 2011 survey. At that point, 44 percent believed that homosexuality was sinful and 43 did not, with an additional 13 percent stating that they were unsure.

Naturally, one of the big questions surrounds why such a major change was observed in just a year’s time. According to Ed Stetzer, president of LifeWay Research, President Barack Obama’s change-of-heart on gay marriage in the middle of the 2012 election cycle may have played a role in overall societal change.

“The president’s evolution on homosexuality probably impacted the evolution of cultural values – there is a real and substantive shift, surprisingly large for a one-year time-frame – though this was hardly a normal year on this issue,” Stetzer noted in a press release advertising the organization’s results.

Born-again Christians and evangelicals (73 percent) and those who attend church at least once per week (61 percent) were found in the 2012 results to be most likely to believe that homosexuality is a sin. Also, those residing in the South were also more likely to answer “yes.” Among Americans who never attend church, 71 percent do not believe that gay behaviors are sinful.

When it comes to the legality of gay marriage, the nation also seems to be changing its views. In May 2012, just days before Obama made his endorsement of gay marriage, 50 percent of the public told Gallup they supported same-sex marriage, with 48 percent saying they did not.

Another poll conducted by CBS News well after the president’s proclamation found that 51 percent agreed with gay marriage, with 40 percent claiming that they did not. With demographics changing and with perceptions transitioning, there’s no telling what the 2013 data will look like.

“Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.” (1 Corinthians 6).

Those who would promote homosexuality (or any type of sexual activity outside of marriage) deny the the Lord’s call to HOLINESS, PURITY and SELF CONTROL.

We live in a world that says “if it feels good do it” while denying the consequences of the decisions. Every human would be wise to remember the Solomon’s final words…”Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every work into judgment, Including every secret thing, Whether good or evil.” (Ecclesiastes 12).

  Billy Hallowell,
  
  The American public is NOT “the decider” of what is sinful. No nation is. God, who is Holy, gets to define what is and is not sin.
  
  We know from Scripture, that God does not change His opinions on matters of Holiness. Public opinion has no bearing on His character, or His judgements.
  
  I’m curious as to why it seems your recent offerings on The Blaze seem to harp on the topic of homosexual/tranny activity?

  Most people know what their body cavities and sex organs are designed for. Only early child abuse, misuse and acceptance will cause such sexual disorientation.

  Homosexuality implies sexulal contact with individuals of the same sex, it is clear what biology and (disease) spirituallity (God) does/thinks about this.
  I think love is great and is commanded (John 15:17) yet sexual contact outside the marriage under God between one Man and one Woman is immoral. (Churches marring same sex is an abomination and law of the land is invalid in the eyes of God)

J C Penny was one of my favorite store until they signed on Ellen Dengenerate. One nice thing about them is that they help solve the population explosion. If we could just get the 3rd world countries to go Q_ueer. They just keep stoning them to death with rocks, not pot.

  You are totally wrong in your statements. You need to read the bible, or have someone read it for you and explain ( Or find a good church and get some instruction ) If you were to state that divorce is too often used to get out of a marriage, then that statement would be true. But, to say that the bible states you CANNOT divorce is wrong. Christians make mistakes, and a good Christian will ask forgiveness and try to do better. Instead of what a sinner does, and that is, accepting anything and everything.

  Another Blaze article, and another bunch of delusional posts. Scripture is given straight out of the bible that covers this disgusting depraved lifestyle and people on here are still confused or flat out reject what God has to say about the subject. It doesn’t matter though…..whoever indulges in this filthy lifestyle will wind up in Hell. If you doubt me, just commit this filthy act and then go stand in front of a train and see where you wind up. Oh, by the way…..people are NOT born this way either. This is the result of a perverted spirit coming in and setting up shop. These people need deliverance.

  MRUGGLES, it’s this type of religious intolerance that makes thinking people turn away from organized religions and any notions of a God. Faith in scripture is only proof of faith, not that any god exists to punish people for their innate sexual orientations. Would you like being told to suppress your heterosexual impulses to appease someone else’s god?

  Being homosexual is not the sin, but physically sexually acting on it is the sin. The real sin for the PUBLIC is that over 50%, of women, especially Christian women, are openly in favor of the mirage of gay marriage. What message does that send to the children who are losing their moral compass by design of those who should, and do know better? Add to that the blatant indoctrination in the public school system and should it be any wonder that America is going down the immoral cesspool? Not insignificant are the signals coming from the Whitehouse defending and promoting the homosexual (“****” is the Greek word for “Same”) lifestyle and the mirage of gay marriage, even forcing clergy and military chaplains to perform same sex weddings.

  Being one of those brought up in the 60s and 70s I too had that attitude “if it feels good do it“. But when I started going to church and learned that the “natural man is an enemy to God” I was offended. It is hard to be in both worlds at one time. I had to study it out and realized the second statement was true. God is the father of our Spirit. Our natural mortal body is of Lucifer. This is after all his world for the time being. We as mortals with eternal Spirits must learn to control these mortal bodies and society teaches not to do that. Lucifer works just like the libs, a little here a little there and soon we are up to our necks in hot water.

  JL Wright had the correct comment. The media has always been for sex with children. Most homosexuals admit that they were sexually abused by an adult when they were a child. The media has always promoted “Sexual Behavior in the Human Male” by Kinsey (1948) In the book, children from 14 years old to 5 months were continually sexually assaulted for up to 24 hours. The media also covered up the Obama “Safe School Czar” who founded a “sex with children” organization, etc.

  Gay behavior is a mental illness, that much I know. It involves people with gender identity issues. A butch woman who thinks she’s a man or an effeminate male thinking and acting like a woman. That’s a mental illness, I don’t care what the Bolsheviks try to say.

  The bottomline is just this: HOMOSEXUALITY IS NOT A FAMILY VALUE! It continues to recruit our children & spreads diseases which kill! A former Secretary of Education researched the numbers and found homosexuals had an average life span of 42 years; Lesbians average was 45 years; some older and some younger! ‘Nuff said!

  Sin isn’t just a conceptual thing; it has consequences, both personal and societal. When we do things that are contrary to nature, nature gets the flu. Then it gets pissed off and it reacts in ways that are not pleasant. There is a karmic connection between humans and nature (see Genesis 3:17). Humans have a great responsibility for what happens in nature. It always reacts to human consciousness and behavior, for good or bad. It doesn’t act independently. Most of this is subtle and seemingly disconnected from human behavior; therefore, most people scoff at the idea that, for example, a natural disaster is related to human folly; but it is a karmic event. Because there are consequences, we shouldn’t be too quick to do social engineering, and ignore the lessons of the past. “Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls” (Jeremiah 6:16).

  I read and re-read MRuggles’ post, and failed to see anything remotely religiously intolerant. All he did was quote scripture, point out the “if it feels good, do it” lifestyle, and explain how promoting sexual immorality goes against God’s word.
  
  I eat meat. If a Buddhist told me eating animals was wrong, I would not take umbrage for their “intolerance”. Rather, I would understand how my actions go against their teachings.

  Sin is a religeous definition.
  JudeoChristian religions are based on natural law.
  This means that we are endowed with human instincts that allow us to live a life, be it good or bad.
  In natural law we are given the “lust” instinct to pro-create. There is no other reason for this instinct.
  Abortion, which goes against this law of nature, is naturally condemned by people of faith.
  These instincts were once defined as the 7 deadly sins, but today, with more and more people turning away from, or questioning religion, these behavioral instincts are out of control.
  We have never had so many abortions taking place along with children born to unwed mothers, in this nation’s entire existance.
  Maybe Mother Nature is trying to tell us something about following religion.

  You are so on the target. This is why DADT (clinton’s weasel way of setting the stage) was repealed by a potus who spent his supposedly “adult” years teaching from a book dedicated to that “first community activist,lucifer” (ahlynski, Rules for Radicals dedication) We must all pray, for only by the grace and mercy of God, can these powers of “Spiritual wickedness in high places, (Ephes 6:12 KJV) be overcome. This isn’t the first time in history the world has been so dark, God is able if it’s His will.

  It is an interesting observation that, not only does popular culture promote self expression, (read: self-aggrandizement), but the disappearance of discipline in one’s life. Unless the discipline is selfish and for personal attractiveness improvement or to show one can do what others do not. It is interesting to also note that we can have a joyous life IF and WHEN we follow all the rules and guidelines for doing God’s Will. I agree that popular culture denies the fact that we are bound by spiritual laws which, to me, are natural laws like motion and gravity. You do not have to believe in them to be subject to them. We have the commandment to respect life: you shall not kill each other. There is no respect for this law which demands moderation and control of our passions, including, to me, the sexual desires.
  While the 6th and 9th commandment talks about fidelity chastity, respect for life means that we have rules governing our search for and experience of pleasure. This seems an impossible sell to our greatly selfish or self centered nation. Fortunately, there are those like yourself who see the truth. Thank you for that.

  Aside from religeous beliefs, homosexuality is an abnormality. It is like a mental or genetic departure of the norm I do not know exactly. But I am totally against pretending that it’s normal and teaching our kids that there is nothing wrong with it. Homosexuals and people in general pretending that homosexual marriage is the same as a marriage between one man and a woman is wrong. Especially if they teach that in our schools. I can just imagine two married homosexuals adopting a little boy or girl of their very own. Gives me the heebies thinking about it.

  It is hard to believe that 47% have never read the scriptures. They clearly cannot be believers. I pray for their souls for if they continue to express this view they are condemned to eternity in the fiery pit.
  Of course, homesexuatlity and same sex marriage is a sin. How can there be a doubt? It is abomination to the Lord and I agree also against the body who is created by the Lord and on loan only. It is so clear in several areas of the Old Testament as well as the New Testatment. However, I am not your judge, I can only pray for your souls. Jerimiah

States of being are not sinful, actions are. We all have the potential to act out sinful behaviour. We all do at times, but asking for forgiveness, seriously attempting to overcome the behaviour and trying again is the Christian’s gift rather than demanding that our actions were not sinful in the first place. That, of course, is putting our will ahead of God’s will which is really what all sin is about.

  Amen!!!
  CREATION gave us instincts for a purpose. Without them
  we wouldn’t be complete human beings. If men and women
  didn’t exert themselves to be secure in their persons, made
  no effort to harvest food or construct shelter, there would
  be no survival. If they didn’t reproduce, the earth wouldn’t
  be populated. If there were no social instinct, if men cared
  nothing for the society of one another, there would be no
  society. So these desires—for the sex relation, for material
  and emotional security, and for companionship—are perfectly
  necessary and right, and surely God-given.
  Yet these instincts, so necessary for our existence, often
  far exceed their proper functions. Powerfully, blindly,
  many times subtly, they drive us, dominate us, and insist
  upon ruling our lives. Our desires for sex, for material and
  emotional security, and for an important place in society
  often tyrannize us. When thus out of joint, man’s natural
  desires cause him great trouble, practically all the trouble
  there is. No human being, however good, is exempt from
  these troubles. Nearly every serious emotional problem
  can be seen as a case of misdirected instinct. When that
  happens, our great natural assets, the instincts, have turned
  into physical and mental liabilities. 12&12 Pg. 42

  If there is no sin, there is no consequence for actions.
  
  In this universe of Cause and Effect, that makes zero sense, as every action has equal and opposite reaction. That’s why it IS a black and white world, not a grey one.

  You have to be kidding me right? “Abomination”? How can you call yourselves Christians and consider your actions richeous, yet abhor folks for doing what they do in the privacy of their own homes. How dare you cast judgement based on an ancient fairy tale! If you take the bible as a literal message from a god then you have to obey the following random scripture:
  
  “I permit no woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she is to keep silent.”

  1.

  2.
  intense aversion or loathing; detestation: He regarded lying with abomination.
  3.

  Abomination is a cultural taboo. Every place it is used in the Bible is cultural. For example: It was an abomination (cultural taboo) to the Egyptians if they were to share a meal with the Hebrews — this is in Exodus. Notice, it wasn’t an abomination for the Hebrews, just the Egyptians.
  
  When people spout out “abomination” like it’s the worst sin ever, just shows their ignorance of the Bible.

  Sounds like too much winedude! Did you notice the people quoting scripture and reasoning from a faith based viewpoint sound so much less like someone incapable of carrying on a serious reasonable and objective conversation with others? Maybe you should look at those whose imaginations have opened up to let a person see that he’s truly suffering from something which will limit his ability to be happy and confident when the whole world seems to be falling apart. That “imaginary cure” is to know you have an eternal spirit, and that it came from somewhere, and once this life is over, it must go somewhere again. The Creator of that spirit made a way for that eternity after death to be a joyful one, or painful, we make the choices now. Open your imagination to the goodness of God, you won’t need the wine so much dude.

  If it is an abomination, and anti-God, how do you explain the person that is attracted to the same sex from the time they are aware of sex? While we haven’t yet found the ‘gay gene’, it stands to reason there must be something that causes one to like this or that or the other thing.
  
  Some men like boobs, some legs, some butts. I doubt they’ve found an “I like boobs gene” or a “I love butts gene” or even a “legs turn me on gene”. What one likes or is attracted to is not chosen by the person … it’s just there. While it may be a product of their environment in some/limited people, it’s quite obviously something that’s just there in others.
  
  So, if it’s not chosen by the person, how can you blame a person for his/her likes/dislikes?

  Homosexuality is a sin, but no larger or smaller a sin than the little white lie, stealing a pencil from the office, rape or murder.
  
  All sin is exceedingly sinful in the Eyes of the Lord.
  
  And if you don;t think homosexuality is a sin, there are dozens of verses in the Bible I could show you. This is why we base religion on God’s Word instead of man’s. Man is fallable & will fail over time. God’s Word will last for time upon time.

  I will repeat again…homosexuality are sex acts with same sex, heterosexual is sex acts with opposite sex… Marriage is union between man and woman…..biblical wise, sex outside of marriage **** or hetero is listed as acts of sin…..does not matter what person is born as “feeling” towards same or opposite, it becomes wrong when the “feelings” move to actions….The warp concept of “feeling” and sexual orientation (what a psycho babble made up phrase) is what is leading to the acceptance of pedophilia being an acceptable life style…..But how could accepting homosexuality in society affect anything??

  @JHRUSKY-Because we were born into sin, so we as humans have sinful desires thats why Jesus died for all our sin. Suppose I told you I desire to rape lil boys? OR robbing banks turns me on? I just have that gene! Nooooo sorry, we were made a little higher than the animals. God has put right and wrong in our hearts and homosexuality (or acting on it) is on that same level as those things I have mentioned above. Not worse or better…just wrong in the eyes of God. Our “feelings” have nothing to do with it. People fantasize about doing all kinds of perverted things. Murderer’s fantasize about murder (some since birth)–it doesn’t mean they should be allowed to murder because they were born that way!
  If you make Him the Lord of your life some day we WILL be like Him and we wont have this sinful nature any more..but until then deep inside we all know the truth.

  “So, if it’s not chosen by the person, how can you blame a person for his/her likes/dislikes?”
  
  Using your logic, it is not a sin to do anything that a person likes to do.
  How about pedophiles? If the don’t choose to be a pedophile then are they innocent or not?
  How about murderers? If they like killing then why are they committing a sin when they murder?
  
  I have urges and tendencies to do lots of things that I KNOW are WRONG. If acting on those urges or tendencies is not a sin then there needs to be lots of people that I deem to be evil who need to be watching their back.
  
  I could be guilt free and sin free and at the same time I could rid the world of a lot of bad people.
  
  Ha, maybe your way of thinking is starting to convince me too.

  What does one have to do with the other? From the first time I started having sexual feelings for girls, I didn’t suddenly go out and sleep with every single woman I saw. Homosexuals aren’t beasts either; they simply need to hold their urges in check.
  
  It doesn’t matter if it’s innate or not; homosexual activity (as well as pre-marital sex, in my prior example) is a sin.

  Rusky, I’m going to be honest with you.
  
  We all have bisexual tendencies, it is a human aspect inborn to us from our ascent, from autotrophs to top predator on the foodchain, and every other bizarre animal in between.
  
  The reason we don’t talk about it is, it’s a hard fact to face.
  
  I often here the other side say, “When did you choose to be straight?”
  
  When I woke up. And every minute in between.
  
  In the famous book, “Man’s Search for Meaning” Viktor Frankl’s main point is that, all throughout his enslavement in concentration camps, he always had a choice to react to the world around him.
  
  Viktor Frankl was stripped of everything. His family, his identity, everything, yet he still chose to remain positive. This helped him survive his ordeal and become one of the best selling authors of all time.
  
  So, if Viktor Frankl can choose to remain positive through a Hell on Earth, then any person can choose what thoughts go through their head, regardless of genetic disposition, or hormonal inbalance.
  
  Not to mention they have the choice to pursue other actions which can make these ‘thoughts’ less prevelant, such as hormone therapy, behavioral psychiatry and other such newly discovered techniques to help these poor souls.
  
  It used to be that gays had to become eunuch, no longer.

  They have found common items of attraction regardless of race/ ethnicity such as the ratio of a women’s waist to her hips.
  
  A person might have a fixation for small breasts let’s say but if everything else was out of whack they probably are not going home with that person regardless of how perfect that 1 item is. A liking for 1 thing isn’t going to override a judgment on the whole package.
  
  When they advance neuroscience little more this is going to be crustal clear.
  
  I still believe in the confusion theory about homosexuality as explaining some of it as well as an “ennui” theory,”feedback” theory and “adonis” theory.
  
  With something as complex as people multiple things can go wrong.

  A kid wants to know what it is like to kill something. So they do it & it give them a feeling of power. They like it. So they do it again & it reinforces it that thought pattern. These people years later will say I was always like that.
  
  A person engaging in gay sex get s their rocks off & they feel good from the brain chemicals and it reinforces that thought pattern. They keep doing it & they cannot every remember being different. Their mind will also rationalize the decision.
  
  I saw the Confusion theory about homosexuality in the back of my Psychology book. Of course no new psych books will have it as it is heresy. Start from their & when a person engages in sex, chemicals such as dopamine kick in & the brain rationalizes the rest.
  
  Personally I don’t want it taught as normal & I don’t want to be in the same insurance people which unfortunately we now are all in. It is not a good way to live as shown by AIDs statistics.

  A lying tongue is an abomination. A prideful heart is an abomination. Adultery is an abomination. The shedding of innocent blood is an abomination. Anyone heard of abortion?
  
  Sin is sin. Fornication is a sin. The Bible is not specific as to the gender of the participants. It will be punished the same.
  
  Many people, in this country specifically, are going to churches where preachers are telling them what they want to hear as it was stated in 2 Timothy 4:3. Homosexuality is the whipping boy of the protestant church in America. Somehow it is taught that sin which is clearly defined in the Bible is less egregious if it is committed with those of the opposite gender. This is a lie from the pits of hell.
  
  An unforgiving heart is not a Christian heart. Jesus said that God would forgive us as we forgive others.

  “Suppose I told you I desire to rape lil boys? OR robbing banks turns me on? I just have that gene! Nooooo sorry, we were made a little higher than the animals.”
  
  First and foremost, if you have the desire to do something wrong, in God’s eyes it’sjust as bad as having done it. Now, I agree that if you have a desire that is wrong yet act on it, you may well be breaking man’s law. My entire issue in this debate is how can people be so judgemental and accusing of people that LEGALLY act upon their desires to love whom they wish to love? I don’t mean rampant sex with anything that has a warm breath; I mean two consenting adult people. If you are not being involved, what business is it of yours?
  
  People all the time say, ‘The Bible says this” and “The Bible says that”, but what did it say in its original forms? There are many meanings in our current versions that apparently had different meanings in the earliest transcripts that we have found… example “Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live”.

  And, on top of that, how much of “the law” that was written down was influenced by political themes of the times? More and more one has to wonder about this stuff many of us were taught in church. As in the middle ages, church was about power and money and the Catholics show that to this day with the vast riches of the Vatican. There are tons of manuscripts that we don’t count in our Bibles yet by whose decisions? What gives those people at the Council of Trent (I think that was the name) the authority to make the decision what was and was not valid? If we go strictly by what is in the
  Bible, we would today live in a theocratic hell, people would still be burned at the stake, gays would be stoned to death, and all sorts of other blood-thirsty atrocities would happen.

  “Using your logic, it is not a sin to do anything that a person likes to do. How about pedophiles? If the don’t choose to be a pedophile then are they innocent or not? How about murderers? If they like killing then why are they committing a sin when they murder?”
  
  If it came across that way, that was unintended. If it harms another person, it’s sinful. It’s then also against man’s law as well.
  
  “I have urges and tendencies to do lots of things that I KNOW are WRONG. If acting on those urges or tendencies is not a sin then there needs to be lots of people that I deem to be evil who need to be watching their back.”
  
  Not sure why you have such urges… I do not. If you wish to do something, is that not like looking upon another with lust … i.e. you are then just as guilty as committing the offense?

  @JHRUSKY: Homosexual sin begins as with hetrosexual sin. If you act upon it, then it is the sin. There is no less sin for the married man to have sex with another woman than it is for a queer to have sex with another man. In the eyes of God, both are the same.

  JH>If it is an abomination, and anti-God, how do you explain the person that is attracted to the same sex from the time they are aware of sex?
  
  L>What does one have to do with the other?
  
  I guess I cannot understand how God would allow someone to be born homosexual yet make it a sin to act on their most basic instincts and urges.
  
  “From the first time I started having sexual feelings for girls, I didn’t suddenly go out and sleep with every single woman I saw. Homosexuals aren’t beasts either; they simply need to hold their urges in check. ”
  
  One of the most basic urges in nature and they should just abstain their entire lives? Just doesn’t seem like God would want that. I don’t proclaim to know what God wants, but it seems a bit cruel and heartless to create a gay person and then deny him/her one of the most enjoyable pleasures of this
  life.

  While there are beliefs that some people are born with a tendancy for violence, such an ‘urge’ is quite different than one of the most basic instincts we are born with. For one thing, it involves another person unwillingly, thus that alone means there is a problem.

  Oh, I agree things can go wrong, thus the reason some people are born with an XX & Y chromosome, or XXX and YY, or (a bunch of other combinations), or a penis as well as a ******, or even the tail that is lopped off in the birthing room before putting newborn baby in its crib. So, things going wrong certainly can chemically alter the brain and make item A attractive and item B not attractive, yet vice versa for the person sitting next to you.
  
  My whole issue on this is the constant demonizing and ostracizing of individuals because they are “different”. Christians do not do those things; ‘christians’ here do.

  Yes. Heck, Paul says that celibacy is preferable to marriage; marriage is for those who can’t control their urges, but celibacy is better if you want to get right with God.
  
  “Just doesn’t seem like God would want that.”
  
  The Bible says He does.
  
  “I don’t proclaim to know what God wants, but it seems a bit cruel and heartless to create a gay person and then deny him/her one of the most enjoyable pleasures of this life.”
  
  We all have obstacles to overcome. I’m sure I’d get a lot of pleasure out of doing meth, but I’m not going to indulge. I’m sure I’d get a lot of pleasure (physically at least) out of having orgies every day, but I’m not going to do that… despite my hormones egging me on that it would be good.
  
  Is it tough to be a Christian with homosexual thoughts? Undoubtedly. It’s tough to be a heterosexual Christian with a diesel libido too! The Bible tells us that we should not give in to those urges though, because doing so is a sin.

  I would suggest the depth & duration of the anger is in part a reaction of the left trying to mold society in its’ image. It is not that this kid in your neighborhood grew up this way or was born this way, it more about people like Obama’s safe school czar who are trying to change the curriculum.
  
  The way I figure they “won”. There is gay marriage in about 11 states. Other than DOMA the big thing is gay adoption & the perennial discrimination suits. Many states already have gay adoption & have run out the church adoption agencies.
  
  What we’ll see is a growing schism between churches. I don’t think race will be as important. But values will be. There will still be a culture war but it will move into a new phase. The APA will stay corrupted for some time, but there politicized science will not be able to be replicated. There will be too many contradictions. But for the time science will remain corrupted. But over time I see the LGBT community shrinking in about 3 generations.
  
  I still have the article in SCIAM on sex selection conducted by experts. hermaphodites exists, but I don’t think this accounts for the majority of the LGBT community.

  Religion has yet to prove that any such thing as “sin” exists.
  
  If they can do that, which they can’t, they then have to make an argument where in the Constitution it gives them the authority to force other religions to live by their religious teaching.
  
  They fail on both accounts.

  Theology / beliefs inform values. Values inform laws. As such religion will always affect laws if not directly then indirectly, but affect laws they will.
  
  It is a good thing that we have religion. Things like murder are considered wrong. Of course some non-religious people consider it wrong also, but it would wrong to assume all that we could have gotten to this point without religion. You would have to prove a hypothetical alternate history.
  
  Without divine right I can see many aristocrats (pick your oligarchy by nature & name) coming up with a belief system that put them in charge to the detriment of others.
  
  Not sure that living solely by laws that 100% of people can agree on is the right way to go. If you don’t go that route then religious people’s values will continue to affect laws roughly in proportion to their numbers.

  Things happen without a purpose. That’s a fact. It’s also a fact that it’s wrong – mean-spirited as well – to denigrate someone who was born gay. The way they relate to each other in private is no one else’s business. Using some ancient manuscript full of myths as a license to call them sinners is primitive and it’s also fading fast in the modern world.
  
  The universe has no purpose. It simply is.
  ***
  What a sad, depressing and ultimately lonely theory that is. A lot of people may have it, but if they’re ever alone, in a room, cave, forest, etc. and scared or hurt, where does their hope come from?
  I believe that God created each of us with a purpose. Even that tiny unborn baby, who has either perished from a miscarriage or abortion, has affected someone in some way, even if it was the mother who didn’t know she was pregnant until it was too late and miscarried, she must pause and realize life might have been quite different if…, thus the aborted baby has affected the life of the abortionists in heardening their hearts to life, and the mother if honest will always be affected in those alone moments, That’s where prayer comes in, and forgiveness if need be, help, strength and hope. Each of us has a purpose in life, have you looked for yours?

People think they are condemning a gay person as evil if they say that it is a sin. It is also a sin to have premarital sex and many other things that people know is wrong, but do anyway and don’t consider people who do it “evil”.

  God gave us a mind in His image to discern good and evil. Christians are called to repudiate sin and expel it from His church if the sinner chooses to live in that sin. How in the world are we to know what sin is if we don’t judge it? Ugh!
  
  We are not to judge without first “taking the plank out of our own eye”. And we surely are not to judge another’s salvation or heart. But, we indeed are to call sin, sin and lovingly direct the sinner to repent.

  COPATRIOTS, but there is a difference between judging sin and judging sinners. We can point out sin, we can tell someone what they are doing is a sin, that they are a sinner and should repent but is not our place to judge their fate or judge them as a person. For all have sinned and all have fallen short of the glory of God.

  Agree 00100111 about not judging one’s fate as a result of their sin as who are we to know when in their life one may accept God’s salvation and/or forgiveness. Not sure about the second part of not judging them as a person. Not to split hairs but I think you have to judge the person by their behavior. One either turns from their sin or continues in it. Of course, indeed, we all sin and fall short of His glory. Praise Him for providing the path for our salvation!

  I leave the judging of people up to God, but I am allowed (required) to choose my behaviors, and I will be judged on my choices.
  
  Heavenly Father wants to bless us…blessings are predicated on our obedience to certain principles…the more obedient I am, the more I am blessed, either here or in the hereafter.
  
  I do not condemn anyone for their beliefs, or their behavior; I have enough to worry about with my own behavior.
  
  Homosexual desires may, or may not be sinful, but acting n those desires IS sinful.
  
  Fortunately, we can all repent and be cleansed of our sins and move forward, thanks to the great atoning sacrifice of the Savior of all mankind – Jesus the Christ.
  
  The idea is to love everyone.
  
  As far as homosexuals being allowed to be married – I am against it.
  
  As far as treating them with kindness and respect – I am all for it.
  
  Denial of the ‘right’ to marry is not unkind anymore than not allowing adults to marry children is unkind.

  Morality is not fluid. There is a standard. It is The God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob’s, standard. We are to love God with all our heart and soul and to love our neighbor as ourself, that does not mean we are to condone our neighbor’s behavior when it goes against God’s standard. It really does not matter what you think or what I think what is moral, it only matters what God thinks. We can know what He thinks because it is His word The Holy Scriptures. His Word is the manual for Human living.

I know the concept of man on man homosexuality really creeps me out but i am not an authority on morality, nor do i wish to be, so i will leave the judging part up to my creator.

For the record, girl on girl gayness doesn’t freak me out at all- unless the women are aesthetically unpleasing. This is pretty shallow and hypocritical, i know, but it is what it is.

If i see two dudes smooch i think, “yuck!”.
If i see two chicks smooch i think, “yeah!”
..and both scenarios amuse me, to some degree..
..but neither ever makes me think “sinners!”…

…though i do occasionally wonder, for a moment or two, if they were abused as children.

  You don’t have to be an authority on morality. That’s not our job. Our job is to be obedient to God’s Word, which is the authority.
  
  People make the choice to engage in homosexual behavior or not. People choose to gossip or not. People choose to lie or not. People choose to lust after things or another person or not. Homosexuality carries the same consequence as other sins, in light of God’s judgment. There are different “natural consequences” to different kinds of sins. STD’s, AIDS are much greater in consequence than that of cheating on a test or gossip.
  
  God is the ultimate Judge and it is simply our job to extend love and acceptance to all people, not judge their behavior. That is between them and God. “Hate the sin, love the sinner.”

We are less and less willing to call things sin because if we do we have to admit that we are sinners. If we lie, if we cheat, if we are drunkards, if we look at another person in a way to sexualize them, then we have sinned.

You can be sure that this is sexual deviance. Really what drives it is perversion to what God meant to be GREAT. God intended intimacy between husband and wife to be GREAT. Sexual perversion is brought on by a selfish ambition. Stirred up by evil and supported by sinners who share in the sin.
Not biblical, but missery loves company.
Yes, according to God’s word it is sin of a sexual origin. Un-natural

Face it, we have long ago discounted GOD’s evaluation of sin. Look at the ambivlence toward any of what was considered illeagal or immoral just in my lifetime. Murderers were hung, sodomy was a crime, adulters and premarital sex were scorned (I was warned, her Pa had a shotgun); the list goes on… But why would one want to see behavior encouraged that brings death and disease. We used to have restrictions on public contact with people who have TB. If 50% of sodomites have throat ghonnerha then why (cough-cough) let them fix your food or be your nurse. Or worse yet it is now DISCRIMINATION to disallow them to give blood.

  Sin and the acceptance of it is progressive. When God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah I’m sure there were lots of people in those cities who did not practice homosexuality…but they were accepting of it…just like in the world today.

  CaptainCrunch, stop pretending. That’s pure nonsense on so many different levels it mind-boggling. Learn to understand the difference between myth and reality.

I guess since Obama and Biden believe Executive Order can be used to override the Constitution then I guess the next president can outlaw Homosexuality based on health concerns through the distribution of STD’s. Outlaw abortion relating it to the murder of 1.2 million children every year. Sorry liberals your leader is in the process of screwing you big time. Send him and the rest of the democrats a thank you note.

How does a president have so much influence and so called christians and catholics that he can change their beliefs?

Does he know church doctrine?

People are sheep and want to conform.

The “there’s no sin” movement is creeping steadily into “Evangelical” Christianity. One cannot be evangelical and not know what constitutes sin.

  That is quite scary as if to say humankind is not capable of great wrong, as if we need to prove that. We all have an inward nature to do bad things; the Bible calls it “the sin”. What is truly scary is when one refuses to acknowledge sin in any form by merely writing it off.
  If we have no sin or there is no such thing as such, why are 290 million dead in Africa?

Feh. All meant to empower the State and destroy the family. Without a family support structure, when all is permissible, when promiscuity is the norm, only the State benefits. A broken soul can only turn their eyes towards the State for redemption. However, “Sin” is a religious definition of action. Nearly every religion defines sexual immorality and promiscuity and homosexual activity as a sin. One of the most vocal religions on the side of promoting sexual deviancy is atheism, the religion of the State.

homosexuality, fornication, bestiality, disunity, strife, bitterness, etc all our sins. SIN isn’t the issue Jesus Christ DIED FOR PAST PRESENT AND FUTURE SIN…The issue is are we GOING TO ACCEPT WHAT HE did and seek to live a life focused on servant-hood loving our neighbor as our selves.
When we sin it isn’;t God judging us He did that on Jesus! But we OPEN ourselves up to disease, SATAN!

  Jesus said, If you love me, follow my commandments. He did not die so anyone/everyone could keep on sinning.
  :His kingdom come, His will be done on earth as in heaven. (“His” being the triune God)
  Direction given to woman He saved from stoning: Go and sin no more.

  Even with “Go and sin know more” He knows we as humans will never be able to live up to that and truly “sin no more”. We will slip from time to time, He knows this. The idea is not to willfully continue living in sin with the “Hey I’m good, now” mentality. We do have to make a heartfelt effort to live a righteous life, but we will still slip. Every single one of us will. You repent, pray for the strength to not do it again, move on, and continue trying your hardest not to do it again. If you think that after you’ve been saved that you’ve never sinned again, you’ve just sinned again by lying.

  Religion has never explained anything. There’s no proof of the supernatural, so anyone who claims to believe in it is only pretending in the first place, whether they are aware of that fact or not.

  Nope. Running these stories every single day is helping it right along and what is the end result of all this? Why do we continue placing homosexuals and transvestites on a pedestal and call this progress?
  
  Who would have thought in the future men would have to ask questions like “are you really a man?” or “were you born as a male?”. How will family trees look in the future? This society is sick.

  If we are doomed it is because we still have millions of people so dumb they think an old book written by forty different people is the literal word of God. Fortunately, this is finally changing, if slowly, and we may yet join the rest of the civilized world in the land of reason.

  ..well I suspect it’s not doomed…unless heterosexuals abort and divorce us into oblivion…I suspect what 50% are doing is a bit more important that 6%…but worry and fret over what you choose…some people save cats…go figure…

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.” (Hosea 4:6) Americans have no idea what the BIble says on about anything, including homosexual relationship or even adultry and fornication between heterosexuals. We’re seeing this statement in Hosea coming true here in modern times, showing that God’s principles never change.

  I agree …. they are cast away because of their lack of knowledge. No one is to “hate someone who is gay, we are commanded to love all. That does not mean we have to accept their lifestyle. Man was made in the image of God and woman was made from one rib from Adam and the clay on the ground (ashes and dust to dust). Most plumbers know that you have a male and female fitting. Two male or two female fittings to not work… simple analogy. No one judges this lifestyle; however, we do have what is called discernment and a right to disagree, instead of having it shoved down our throats by the government. My observance of the ten commandments and spiritual teachings are where I take my stand.

  The first part is probably true. The second isn’t. They’re still people. You are to pray for them, not hate them.
