So if you lie to your wife or mother or employer, your sin is EQUAL to the homosexual relationship in the eyes of God. With that being said, I don't think homosexuality is a sin. If two people love and are committed to one another, whether they be a man and a woman, two women, or two men. If there is love between them, that cannot be wrong.

And when other people hear or see that they tend to tease and hurt that person. Honestly i don't really jump to thinking that being gay is a sin and then again i also think that it is too. To me its just that persons chosen a path that he or she thinks is right. And also i see it as a sin because God made men and women for a purpose, and same sex relationships are kind of like just not appreciating half of what God has did. And this is my opinion and not really a straight up answer. Well, i hear about and see a lot of gay people at my school.

Your argument is a logical fallacy. You are spitting in god's face. Besides, we have a separation of Church and State. You have no right to impose your superstitions on my life in any way.

Homosexuality and sexuality in general are something far to in depth to cover in a few paragraphs online. Then you put them in the context of morality and religion and it gets even more in-depth. Basically it's hard for any human to decide what sins are worse then others. Yes it may be simple to say murder is bad but lying or coveting is alright, but who are we to decide what sins are worse than others. I'm not trying to make a point that murder and telling small fib are the same because in my eyes and moral judgment they are not but in reality who are we to judge another sins compared to our own and claim them to be the immoral one? .-= Rockhopper ´s last blog ..<a href="http://penguincheatscp.com/2010/02/12/bamboo-forest-cheats/" rel="nofollow">bamboo forest cheats</a> =-.

And I would support it with what John wrote about marriage. He said that it would be better to remain single, than be married and not serve God because you are obsessed with your spouse. I just know what I have learned in the year and half I have been a baptized Christian. And that is the the Bible is the true word of God, written by men who were filled with the spirit of God. The bible says that homesexuality is an aboanation (sp?) to God. Doesn't that mean it is a sin. Jesus came to fullfill the law, he was the perfect sacrafice for all our sins. But to continue to commit the sin, knowing it is a sin to God. Isn't that the the true sin, but God's forgiveness is new each day and we will all be judged by God in the end and not by the laws or bigotry of man. It is late and my thoughts are rambled, I am sure that there is a point and an answer in there somewhere. But then again I am a sinner too, I am overweight and knowingly eat too much and the wrong kinds of food and isn't gluttony an abmonination (sp?)(sin). Emily,
