1 Corinthians 6:9-11
"Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God."
Homosexuality is not the worst sin someone could commit. It is listed in this verse with many other sins. The thing is that it is a sin, no worse or better than the rest. I know that I will probably get a lot of down votes for this, but people are wrong when they say that God and Jesus were silent on this issue.
No I agree.
And it's not listed in the bible you say huh?
Leviticus 20:13
“‘If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.'"
There is more than one reference to it, but I would like to point out to all the people that will react to iceshard's Leviticus reference: Leviticus is in the Old Testament. This means that these were God's laws for the people that lived in an era before Jesus died on the cross. After Jesus died and rose again the rules changed. So many of the random rules that applied to the people that lived during the B.C. period do not apply now, such as stoning homosexuals and adulterous wives.
It's not like that. I don't support it. The same way I don't support any sin. I am not going to sit here and say that I am against homosexuality and that all homosexuals should be killed because they are sinners. I am a sinner too. I just have different sins that I commit. Everyone has a different weakness and that is the sin nature that all humans have. I would be a hypocrite if I sat here and gave the whole, "homosexuality is wrong and I am holier than thou," speech. It is a sin, and I know this, but so is sex before marriage. Which I am guilty of. So I am no better than homosexuals. Therefore I have no right to judge. God does have right to judge, and He will someday. Until then, I am just giving the facts.
Ponderinglife and icehard you have made my day. My own opinion : I plan to become president of the Republic of South Africa return it to a Western country status and make the country glorious BUT there would be no gay right at all

Especially "The Jesus".
