Questions for those who believe that homosexuality is a sin?

I'm a christian myself, but I don't believe that being homosexual is wrong or anything like most seem to.  I realize that it says that it is an 'abomination' in the Bible, but it also says it is a sin to mix fabrics, work on the Sabbath, eat pork or shellfish, get a round haircut or a tattoo, and something about playing with the skin of a pig (football?)? It also says that a man who sleeps with another man should be put to death, but doesn't it also say the same for a woman who has lost her virginity before marriage and kids who disrespect or don't listen to their parents? If we don't pay attention to those statements anymore, then why do we pay so much attention to the ones about homosexuality? It's no longer a big deal eat shellfish, mix fabrics, lose your virginity before marraige, get a tattoo, or for kids to not mind their parents, so why are people still SO hung up on those two little statements?  The Bible was written so long ago, and many things have changed since then.  Also, mankind interpreted the Bible, and who's to say we didn't interpret some things that are in it in the wrong way? I'm sure there are many different ways to interpret some of the things in it.  Also, to some of the people who believe that homosexuality is a sin and an abonimation, whats your reasoning to believe it, besides the fact that it is in the Bible?  If the Bible didn't even mention homosexuality, would you still believe that it is wrong? and for those who think that people 'choose' to be gay, if they really did, do you think that there would be so many people who are depressed over it and kill themselves over it?

I'm sorry that that was so much to read, but I would just like to hear how of Christian and other religions people view homosexuality.  I'm not meaning to offend anyone in anyway.  We are all entitled to our own beliefs.
Mark, I'm not afraid of offending anyone, I'm just say that that is not my intention.  I truly do believe that everyone has a right to their own opinions, because no matter how much anyone else may disagree with it, it's what they believe.

Has a homo been strike down yet? And there you have it, do what you wanna do ain't nothing gon happen.

Edit: You mf's are looney tune. Most of y'all are full grown adults with a fricken imaginary friend. Wow at the stupidity.

It is for god to judge ,not humans, we all sin and is any sin better or worse than another?

@ Question...a correction

No homosexual has been struck down by God.  Many have been struck down in God's name, believing in a twisted way they were doing God's will.

New Testament scriptures that forbid homosexuality:

1 Corinthians 6:9, Revelation 21:8, 1 Corinthians 6:13, 1Corinthians 6:18, 1Corinthians 10:8, Ephestans 5:3, 1 Thessalonians 4:3, Hebrews 12:16, Hebrews 13:4, Revelation 22:15.



Homosexuals and cancer

According to a recent report, homosexual men are twice as likely to get cancer than heterosexual men -- findings that one California-based doctor says show the risks of alternate lifestyles. (See related story) Results published in the journal Cancer show that the high number of homosexual men affected by cancer may be linked to the high risk of anal cancer and HIV infection. Also, lesbian and bisexual women who have survived cancer were less healthy than heterosexual women who also survived the disease.
Dr. Andre Van Mol, a board-certified family physician of the Christian Medical & Dental Associations, decides the report affirms the fact that alternate lifestyles are dangerous. He notes that the cancers are not only AIDS-related, although homosexual men have a higher risk in getting HIV.
"In 2010 at a national conference, the Centers for Disease Control reported that men having sex with men had 44-times the rate of AIDS diagnosis as did heterosexual men, and 40 times...worse than women," Van Mol reports. "So...we're talking an extraordinary risk here."
Out of the 51,000 men surveyed, five percent of heterosexuals and 8.3 percent of homosexuals had the disease.
"I'm very much concurring with the idea that God wants to protect us from things [such as] a lifestyle of sin," the family physician notes. "And it's not that we're saying GLBT people are alone in their propensity for sin, [because] all have sinned and fallen short of God's standards [Romans 3:23]. The 'thou shalt nots' and 'thou shalls' are there to protect us and help us."
The California Health Interview survey provided the data used in the study. It shows that 7,252 women and 3,690 men were diagnosed with cancer.

yes, yes, yes and yes homosexuality in any semtic religion is considered a major sina and an abomination before God...but does that give us the right to hate on or criticize them??..no it doesnt not by a long shot...remember we are all born of Adam, thus being born of a sinful nature...we have all sinned and fallen short...homosexuality is on of those things that instead of being taboo we as humans need to embrace it as a natural part of human nature...population control...and leave the judging up to God...

"Love thy Neighbour as thyself"...

Here's the thing with your argument.

The Law of Moses was meant to be a reflection of God's standards, impossible as they were to obey perfectly. God knew people couldn't perfectly obey the Law, but He wanted to show that He was willing to give legal, spiritual structure to humanity. He also knew many would earnestly attempt to follow the Law in a spirit of love and repentance while others only did so in a spirit of mere obligation.

The provision of animal sacrifices were meant as a way to ask forgiveness of sins and/ or Law violation. And again, some made sacrifices from a loving and repentant attitude. Others only did so out of obligation and routine.

Later God told the prophets that He would only accept a contrite, repentant, humble heart for forgiveness of sins...indicating the precursor of Christ and Salvation.

Christ died on the Cross as a final atonement/sacrifice for everyone's sins. Anyone who accepts Him as Savior and repents of their sins will be forgiven and reunited with God.

Look ... either you believe your bible or you don't. You are one of those wishy washy Christians who pick and choose which parts of the bible you wish to follow. There are many scriptures in the new testament that say homosexuality is a sin but I suspect you haven't ever read the bible from cover to cover.

Try this ... walk into your church and tell your fellow Christians there is nothing wrong with homosexuality and see what happens.
