Homosexuality
  Summary: Homosexuality is a choice, and it is a choice to sin. There is no DNA evidence
  to support the claim that sodomy is a genetically inherited trait. Homosexuality is simply
  a perverted sin that drags people away from God. Like anyone else living in a sinful lifestyle
  (e.g. drunkard, adulterer, fornicator, etc.), homosexuals need to seek God and turn from
  their wicked and unnatural ways.  

 


Rom. 1:25-31 "Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 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: 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. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:"

The passage above references the fact that God has established judgments for perverted actions on earth. Sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV and AIDS are "that recompence of their error which was meet." One of the saddest facts about this topic is the Biblical concept that "For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself" (Rom. 14:7)... In other words, kids sometimes end-up with a disease because of perverted adults.

The Bible is more than clear that homosexuality is sin, and that individuals who live the homosexual lifestyle are unsaved and bound for hell.

I Cor. 6:9-10
"Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God."

One of the major reasons for God's judgment of fire and brimstone upon the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah was because of homosexuality and perversion. 

Gen. 19:5-8 "And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them. And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him, And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly. Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof. "

In the Old Testament of the Bible, for the physical and spiritual wellbeing of the tribe of Israel, God commanded that whosoever committed sodomy should be put to death. In the New Testament, it is still written that sodomy is sin, but Jesus, God in the flesh, commands that only people who are sinless, which is nobody on earth, should cast stones to kill people.

Lev. 20:13
"
If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them."

To clarify what may be misconstrued, two things should be noted when reading the verse above: 1) Sodomy is a sin that God is shown to hate in both the Old and New testament, and 2) Christ taught that Christians should not take vengeance into their own hands.

Oh, and just as a side note... Often the argument is used that because sometimes animals display homosexual actions in nature that it must be natural for humans to display homosexuals actions as well. To answer this point, please consider the fact that there are a lot of things that animals do that humans should not do--for example, female black widow spiders eat their mates, monkeys fling feces, dogs urinate on trees, birds regurgitate food to feed chicks, etc. Just because an animal does something does not mean it is normal, natural, and moral for a human to do it.

But if homosexuality is a choice, why would anyone ever choose it?

To answer this often asked question, think about these questions: Why do some people molest children, and is it right or wrong to molest children?... The answer to why people choose to be homosexuals and why people choose to molest children is simple: people are depraved and perverted. Simply because someone acts on a perverted inclination does not make the inclination natural or moral. The acts of paedophilia and sodomy are wrong, unnatural, and contrary to the teachings of the Bible and God.
