The Bible makes it clear homosexuality is forbidden
>>> 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 𝗕𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗲?...
This same scripture mentions that homosexuality will not either
I disagree; the claim that homosexuality is inherently sinful is a matter of interpretation. They didn't even have a word for homosexuality back then. The laws against men sleeping with men are always in the context of fornication, and men turning from their natural desires, assuming their natural desires are for women, but that is not always the case.
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.”
Galatians 5:22-23 ESV
If you believe the love that homosexual people feel for eachother is not a choice, and that it is the same love (not lust) that heterosexual people feel for their partner, then you should agree that there is no law against such love.
I don't believe sexual orientation is a choice. As a straight man, I couldn't imagine ever finding men attractive; and I have to assume it's the opposite for gay men. God makes us how we are for a reason; I believe it's a sin to call that a mistake.
If sexual orientation were a choice, why wouldn't they all just choose to be straight? It would make life so much easier, not being outcasted by families, communities, even governments. People are killed for being gay; why would they willingly cho
The only way you can logically believe homosexuality is a sin is if either
A) you think all gay people are choosing to be gay despite every reason not to
Or B) God makes people gay and cruelly punishes them for it when they have no other choice
God loves us, and He is not cruel. And like I said, sexual orientation is not a choice; this should be evident to each of us in regards to our own sexual orientation and also in light of the extreme persecution gay people face across the world. No one would choose that kind of suffering over a much easier life as a straight person.
So the only option left is that homosexuality is not a sin. God loves us, and He has no law against love. Jesus said Himself that loving God and loving your neighbor is what sums up the law and the prophets. If your interpretation of the bible is not one of love; it is contrary to Jesus' interpretation of it.
