Is being gay a sin? | GotQuestions.org

To answer whether "being gay is a sin," we must challenge underlying assumptions and rephrase it to "Is it sinful to have same-sex attractions?" and "Is it sinful to engage in homosexual activities?"; while same-sex attractions stem from a sinful nature, they are not an active choice to sin, whereas engaging in homosexual activities is, and requires resisting temptations and seeking new life in Jesus. In this video, Pastor Nelson answers your question: Is being gay a sin?

[@Bruised-Reed]

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.

[@markanthony3275]

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.

[@pamelas1002]

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.

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.

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.

[@worthmorethanmyjourney]

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.

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.

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.

We all have a cross to bear. A sin that follows us all our life. Some have sexual thoughts and even a high drive. Some have the sin of homosexuality. Giving into it is the sin. Simple as that.

1 Corinthians 6:9-11 9. do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10. nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners. Will inherit the kingdom of God. Genesis 19:1-11 In this passage, Lot, Abraham’s nephew saw two angels and invited them to his house, some people saw the two angels and demanded to have sex with them. Lot went as far as telling the crowd not to do that, instead he said, take my daughters and do as you want with them, but the angels took matters into their own and blinded them. Homosexuality has been unacceptable to God always, and always will be.

[@User1924-se]

Yes, it is a sin! You just repent and turn to Jesus!

[@RT-qz5ci]

Don’t waste your time arguing with people. Give them the gospel. If they accept Jesus as Lord, the holy spirit will convict them. If they don’t, they are hellbound anyway. Keep it simple people.

Absolutely! As much as being a murderer is a sin. In God's eyes there is no difference. One does need to give some thought to scripture when God called it an abomination. God also destroyed two cities that practiced homosexuality. God is certainly not happy about this choice of lifestyle.

[@ChrisMagoro]

‘This choice of lifestyle’? Are you serious? Think about that for a moment. Do you really believe that homosexual people choose to be gay? That makes no sense! Who would willingly choose to be judged by society and condemned by God? Homosexuality isn’t a choice, just like heterosexuality isn’t a choice. Did you wake up one day and decide that, from that moment on, you would love men (if you’re a woman)? Of course not! It’s part of your nature-it’s how you were born. The same is true for homosexuality. I would never choose to be gay. Why would anyone choose a life with so many challenges? That’s nonsense. I don’t hurt anyone. I’ve been in a loving relationship for 14 years, where we care for each other, have the support of friends and family, and live just like any heterosexual couple. Yet we’re still told that we can’t express our love through intimacy the same way others can. Please, just take a moment to reflect on that. Isn’t it awful? Imagine being told you can love your husband, live together, care for each other, but can never express that love through physical intimacy. It’s a heartbreaking thought. This is why millions of people around the world are turning away from the Church-because what’s written in the Bible doesn’t align with today’s reality, nor with modern psychological and sociological knowledge. You also wrote, ‘as much as being a murderer is a sin’? I can’t believe it! Please, think about this. If a woman loves another woman, they live together, care for each other, and support each other without harming anyone-how can you possibly compare that to murder? How?! That’s absolutely ridiculous.

@@ChrisMagoro 1 Nobody is born gay, It just doesn't make any sense for a baby or a 3 year old to have those kind of desires. Maybe you didn't chose to have those desires when you got to the age where you started to but you chose to give into them and got into a same sex relationship which is a sin because it goes against how God made us. 2 So many people are sadly choosing to turn away from the church and God because they love the world too much or because of religious hypocrites. Just because alot of people support something doesn't always mean that it is right i.e. the LGBT. Just look at hitler and the many people that had the same abhorrent beliefs as him, doesn't mean it's right. 3 While dating the same sex isn't as harmful as straight up murder they are both a sin which are one in the same in God's eyes. That's not to say the punishment for both will be the same. It's just like stealing and murder are both crimes that you'll be prosecuted for, just different punishments. I pray that hopefully soon you'll open your hardened heart to Jesus and welcome his love into your life because it will be the single greatest decision you could ever make, it was for me and many other Christians. God bless

[@ChrisMagoro]

@@tie5360 I kindly disagree with your points. 1. Your first point seems inconsistent. You imply that it’s a conscious choice, but it’s not. You say, “it just doesn’t make any sense for a baby or a 3-year-old to have those kinds of desires” - of course not! Just as a baby or a 3-year-old doesn’t have heterosexual desires either. It’s simply not the time for those feelings to develop. But when the time does come, you don’t consciously decide whether your desires will be towards women (if you’re a man). You just don’t. You can’t consciously direct your feelings; you feel what you feel. There’s a big misconception that gay people “choose this lifestyle.” That’s simply not true. We don’t choose our orientation, just as heterosexual couples don’t choose theirs. You didn’t sit down and weigh the pros and cons before deciding to be heterosexual. It doesn’t work that way. 2. The argument that “just because someone supports something doesn’t make it right” is flawed, especially when you compare it to Hitler. People support gay couples because they see a loving couple who care for each other and don’t harm anyone. Can you really compare that to Hitler? It’s indeed sad that people are turning away from the Church and God, but I can speak for many gay people when I say that it’s because we don’t understand how a loving relationship between two women, for example, is different from a man and woman who can’t have children. For us, there is literally no difference. Both are loving, caring couples, yet in the eyes of God, two women together are seen as wrong. 3. Yes, I agree that according to the Bible, same-sex homosexual acts are considered sins. However, I struggle to understand why. I can understand sins like murder - it hurts someone; rape - it violates someone; theft - it harms the rightful owner; adultery - it damages trust and relationships. But a loving, same-sex relationship? I genuinely don’t understand what’s wrong with that. From a human perspective, there’s no difference between a gay couple and a heterosexual couple, especially those who can’t have children. I appreciate your prayers for me. I read the Bible, and I do want to be a good Christian. But it’s incredibly hard to live with the idea that “you can love someone, but you can never express that love through intimacy.” It just doesn’t make sense to me.
