If being gay is a sin, why did God make people like that?

Destiny you are correct it can and it does get passed down. For instance, I shared this before here. But I have some cousins that are gay 2brothers and a sister, one of the brothers is now dead, and their mother's brother is gay. I use to wonder how could 2 brothers and 1 sister all be gay in one family plus their uncle, who is my second cousin. Now the uncle has returned to his wife, because he is sick. It is a curse that's what it is.
 
yes i agree. there is such a thing as control, and its one thing that humans tend to have a hard tim with, even normal ppl who are not gay. but its even harder if you are a homosexual, its trying to switch your whole way of being. but personally, i do not believe that switching from homo to hetero would be a similiar experience like trying to make a hetero into a homo. homosexulaity is an obviously warped form of being, its not normal and im sure that the homosexuals themselves can see this even if they dont care. if they just gave it the chance they would find that this homosexual lifestyle is going against nature and themselves and would find it easier to transition back to the way they were created for.

as for the curse thing, wow i never realized that. i mean, i dont remember reading about that in the Bible. what passages talk about this more? im really curious about how this works.
 
Thanks so much, Lewis.. I have witnessed many other things besides homosexuality, be passed down through family linages. I don't share a lot in that area because it gets so misunderstood and controversial. But it can be obvious if we will just open our spiritual eyes.

They are not wired like we are they don't sin..they just do. The homosexual acts are the result of sexual drive, frustration and mindlessness. Just like how your dog may decide your leg looks nice one evening, they will do the deed with anything when the females are not around.
 
Yo, Peter, did you manage to read my earlier post in this thread? It was rather long but its worth a look.

Hmmm...

If fornication is a sin, why did God make some people with very strong libido's?

He said - "it's better to marry than burn with lust".

So, it's a given some people burn with lust and are born that way, but that doesn't make giving in to it and fornicating okay.

Being drunken with alcohol is a sin, but people are born predisposed to alcoholism and addictions. That doesn't make it okay for them to be alcoholics or druggies.

My point? IF - BIG IF (there is research that has found doing what homosexuals do CAUSES - is not the RESULT of - brain changes/differences associated with homosexuality) people are BORN with homosexual tendencies, that should be no different. It's not okay to indulge themselves in homosexual behavior.

But....but...but....they might say, what are we to do? This is different!!

Not really. Those with high sex drives have to behave, get married, behave in marriage even if their mates drive is less than theirs, not commit adultery etc. and it is VERY HARD, and people with addictive natures have to suffer and resist and do without even a social drink and suffer pain others readily take pain pills for etc.

Homosexuals CAN resist the same sex and "settle" for a normal relationship suffering no less than the others I mentioned do because IT'S WHAT GOD COMMANDS IN HIS WORD!!!!

Bless Y'all :)

Yes there are some gay animals, some dolphins have gay sex. And there are some others, I forgot which ones. We talked about this on this board some years back. All you have to do it go to Google, and type in gay animals, and you will see.
 
There have been made some very good points here, but one stands out above the rest in my mind. It was (it would make no since for God to talk about homosexuality being a sin in the Bible and then turn around and make some one that way.
Leviticus 20:13
Romans 1:26:32
1 Corinthians 6:9

As far as I know these are the only places in the Bible that talk about the sin of homosexuality.
So with this logic in mind, I agree that they are not made that way. It is a choice they make.

Perhaps my opinion is biased but I don't think you can use Leviticus 20:13 as an example, for it also says that homosexual men shall be put to death. Unless you agree with that, in which case go ahead and use it.
Romans 1:26:32 seems fine to use as an example, though a bit vague as to how bad of a sin homosexuality is, as it also talks of murder, maliciousness, envy, boasting, and not listening to parents at the same time.
1 Corinthians 6:9 seems also to be fine to use, though only for male homosexuals because the word used in this case was Arsenokoitai, which literally would mean "man" and "beds".
It's actually not fully understood what arsenokoitai really means, which is why it has varied in different translations over time.
 
I agree with God’s word all the way, In the Old Testament God’s orders were to put Homosexuals to death to purge the evil from among the camp. But today’s time we are living in the age of grace, God now gives the homosexual time to repent of being gay and turn to Him. God hates all sin but being gay is very high on God’s evil meter. He will not let any such person into heaven unless they have fully repented of that sin and turned to him for deliverance from that sin. I know there are gay people who may seam very nice as well as straight people who are nice, But God's Word says that everyone of them are wicked to the core. The world would tell you that people are all good at heart deep down but God’s word speaks the truth and says we are all evil and no good for nothing and useless, not fit for doing anything good for God. And is this not the truth, unless we are given a new heart and a new Spirit for serving Him, we are useless to God and His kingdom.

This is most likely referring to male temple prostitution. It may not be strictly referring to homosexuality, though homosexual activity was indeed evident in temple prostitution.

But when we take the whole council of God and HIS word, it is indeed very hard to rationalize homosexuality activity and still maintain a Biblical moral conscience. Homosexuality, like any other sin, can be overcome.

Phil 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Okay, makes sense.

God hates all sin but being gay is very high on God’s evil meter.

I'm not sure where you got that from, though.
Could you point me to the Bible verses that say that homosexuality is a worse sin than many others?

Yes there was but Homosexuality was there main problem.
The city was destroyed because of it.

If you base how bad a sin is based on the punishment for it during the Old Testament era, then which sins aren't high up on God's list?
Even simply not listening to one's parents would have people put to death in the Old Testament.
Deuteronomy 21:18-21
 
Reminds me of Family guy. I don't watch it,but recently the FCC got involved for one of their episodes.

It said, "Jesus hates alot of people,but he especially hates homosexuals."..............sad.

You get my point though.
