Tell me why Homosexuality is a sin. I can pretty much guarantee that any biblical quote you find will meet the fate of the others - interpretation. Things in the bible aren't meant to be taken literally. Priests and devout catholics I havfe spoken to have said the same thing. It's mostly metaphorical in fact.
Ok ill tell you why. Firstly because God created Female for man, so that they could become one in flesh and in spirit. Also its breaking one of the first commands, which was to fill the earth.
But onto some more specific ones.
Leviticus 18:22
22 " 'Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable.
Leviticus 20:13
13 " 'If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.
This was a law in the old testament, obviously death does not apply these days because Jesus came, however, the seriousness of the sin still does apply, so that why I'll quote some passages from the New Testament.
Romans 1:21-27
21For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.
24Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator???who is forever praised. Amen.
26Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their
women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.
1 Corinithians 6:9-10
9Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor
homosexual offenders 10nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers
will inherit the kingdom of God.These verses just establish that in the living God of Christianity's eyes, homosexuality is a sin. Maybe its not in your eyes, but in the God that is revealed in the Bible, it very much is.
Oh and also, what makes a catholic priests opinion that the Bible is metaphorical, a fact? Because the Bible in factual evidence is a history book, and I know that there are many more people that will tell you the Bible is not just a metaphore for life, but rather Gods word, and actual events acuratly recorded.
What makes his opinion more qualified that Biblical scholors, or people who study ancient history, or other ministers from other churches? Nothing does, its just a sadly mis-informed opinion, that you take to you liking.
