Homosexuality

I've seen some threads on this topic here, and I just want to see the standpoints of everyone on the matter.(And why you believe it if you want) So far I think I've seen the dominant feeling is that it's not a sin unless you partake in the act, since you can be born into it. I personally believe it to be a choice, like any other sinful lust. *waits for attack*

Why do you think that?

I don't recall ever choosing to be attracted to women, nor is being attracted to women lustful.

Gen 2:21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
Gen 2:22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
Gen 2:23 And Adam said, This [is] now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
Gen 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

Rom 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
Rom 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
Rom 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet


This wasn't meant to be an argument/debate thread, but what I see there is that it is unnatural, unseemly, vile, their error, against nature, etc.

Man and woman were created for eachother, that is natural.

Actually I was wondering why you thought it was a choice.

Because it's counted as unnatural and says it is "their error", which I take to mean that they had a choice in what they did, and made the error.

Of course not, that wasn't their choice to get nuked.

I didn't have to choose, it's human nature to be attracted to the opposite sex.

I'm saying that people deformed by nuclear radiation did not have a choice in whether they got nuked or not, and that's physical deformities anyway, the natural being I'm talking about is the inner self.

You're not getting my point as far as "natural" goes. God created woman for man, man for woman, which makes in natural to be attracted to the opposite sex, it's how we were created. Driving cars is a form of transportation...playing games is entertainment.

That doesn't really follow. I make mistakes all the time and it's not because I chose to make a mistake.

I'm a little puzzled. You asked what people thought, and then you're arguing with them? Was this supposed to be a thread to debate, or just to give our thoughts on the matter?

It says right there that it was the lusts of their own hearts, not a natural gene. I'm just saying that like any sin, it's a choice the individual has to make.
