Is being gay okay to God?

[Guest NH_Marine15]

Dear Wouldhe,

Thank you for your response. Are people born gay or become gay? My sister tried to explain it to me that she has always been some what attracted to women but, ?

[Trinity]

Nope, you can't be born gay, God says its you own lust.

Romans 1:26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones.

And your sisters kind of church is mentioned in the bible.

2 Timothy 4:3

For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.

Meaning they will leave the truth because they are in sin and go to a church that is ok with sin, like being gay, and they will keep going there because they don't have to change even though its not the truth.

[Guest Rev. David S. Bird]

God excepts everyone, But being gay hinders her walk with the LORD because God says being gay is wrong.

"For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due."

          -Romans 1:26-27

Things are not the way they should be in her life.

"So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them."

          -Genesis 1:27

God created Man(adam) and woman(eve), not two men Adam and Steve, nor amanda and eve.

"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, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God."

          -1 Corinthians 6:9-10

God excepts everyone, but there is not a person God doesn't change

I have a half sister who has been born again for 2 years.  She is a hard core christian and practices her religon regularly.  She is also gay.  I have heard many theories that God doesn't accept gays but doesn't he accept everyone?

Nope. She needs to come out of it. But the LORD is preparing the way as we speak for every one to come out of the flesh. When it gets well under way she won't care anylonger about sexual orientation at all.

In CHRIST JESUS

[God loves every one. Yes even gay people. There is nothing we can do to increase or lessen his love. However there are actions which sadden God because they separate us from Him. I belive being sexually active outside of a legitimate sacramental marriage is one of these things. Gay - hetero it doesn't matter. We are being disobedient to the one who made us. Wether or not these actions will drive us so far from God that our souls will be lost is really not our to know. What I do know is that we are not to judge but to love. We must love the sinner even while disapproving of the sin. It is easier to develope a "holier than thou" attitude just like the pharisee in the temple, but none of us is truly holy. We are all works in progress. So love your sister. Jesus does.

[Guest NH_Marine15]

Thank you for all of your responses. My sister is now engaged to her girlfriend and I think that all that really matters is that they are both happy!

Those who think that homosexuality is a choice should try to remember when they made the choice to be hetero.

That sounds good to some, but it doesn't fly IMO. And it doesn't address the problem, it's only a diversion tactic. We needn't make a choice, because God's devine plan made us that way.

God's Word to us says that homosexuality is unnatural at least, an abomination at most. Whether or not someone is a believer makes no difference. It's wrong. If one has a temptation in that area, then they have a temptation. We all have temptations, due to our 'baggage' in life. We and we alone are responsible for our choice to act on our temptations, or do what is right. Saying they are "born that way" is an easy out, but the consequences are dire. The Bible also says you reap what you sow.

Despite the efforts of a few anti-Christian secularists, there is no scientific proof that one is "born that way". Not to mention that such a belief is contrary to Scripture. Either you stand on Scripture or you do not.

Is that all that matters in life? That people are society's idea of happy?? "Happy" by whose standards? Do you think that when your sister faces God, He will say - "Hey, forget about what I expected of you - as long as you were happy, that's all well and good. Welcome home. "

I think you'd better rethink your position on "what really matters".

Workin progress,

Well, what I am saying that it is her choice whether or not she wants to be gay and to be happy in her decision! I am happy for her that she is happy with her life. yes I hate the fact that she is gay but I can't change her and I am not going to judge. I am not God so I couldn't tell you whether or not he doesn't like homosexuality because to me, and this will probally tick alot of people off, the bible has been written so many times by many different people so I believe what I beleive and if that will make God judge me well, then so be it. I will not live my life answering to other people on what I believe and what they believe. I don't agree with every christian way or that of the ways of other religions but I do know this: I love the Lord and will forever and He knows that. I try to be a good as I can and I respect others decisions in life. So, yes I am happy that my sister is happy and to me, that is all that matters because as much as I want to fight her on this, it's not going to change her mind. Thank you all for your replies but to me this subject is closed!
