Sin is a religious concept from the Bible, isn't it? According to the Bible, yes, homosexual sex is sin.

Most homosexual people are not religious imo.. I must wonder, do they really want to know or care?

I just like pointing and laughing at the hypocrisy of those who want to tell us what sinners we are by committing a sin themselves. They're such fine ones to talk when the best they can do is to give the finger to one of the 10 basic tenets of their alleged faith.

Yes, I hear you. The concept of sin as I understand from the Bible includes many kinds of sexual sins as well as homosexuality. And I think one reason many don't take some Christian men seriously is because they don't take all sexual sins seriously.

I don't think Christian men who turn a blind eye to fornication and adultery, but get crazy about the sin of homosexuality are dealing with the sin they are struggling with. I think they make themselves feel better about their sins by harping on thinking someone else out their is a worse sinner than they are.

But, from what I've read in scripture, God's standard punishment in the Old Testament for all of these sexual sins was death by one means or another. Am I right?

Do you agree that all sexual sins are just as wrong and sinful as the sin of homosexuality?

All sexual sins are bad, and can lead to diseases and death. Like the gay AIDS patient or a jealous lover killing someone. However , homosexulaity is considered an abomination, and is the same as having sex with animals. The Levites like Moses wrote the book of Leviticus, but the new testement also condemns homosexulaity in a way that states that under no condition will an unrepented homosexual enter the kingdon of heaven.
In other words, the penalty is death. The death of ones soul. This is also called the second death.
After judgement the homosexual go's strait to hell.

God tells us that homosexuality is “an abomination”(a fact repeated in Romans 1). An abomination, tow’ebah, means something that is disgusting, abominable. It is unclean and wicked. An ‘abomination’ can also refer to idolatry. Homosexuals like to twist this text to mean ‘idolatry’. But, the text is qualified by “as with womankind”, to mean men having sexual relations with other men. It is an abomination!

Leviticus 20:13

“If a man 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.”

The same death penalty is upon those (men or women) who commit bestiality. Romans 1 tells us that men lusted after other men as they did with women, calling it an unnatural act (“leaving the natural use of a woman”) that is “unseemly”. But, these men receive “within themselves” their just desserts: not just condemnation by God but also diseases, such as AIDS.

This might help you to see how serious the crime of homosexuality is.
Homosexuality is condemned in the Bible. Below are some Bible verses that condemn homosexuality:
Leviticus 18:22 - You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination.
Leviticus 20:13 - If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltiness is upon them.
Romans 1:26-27 - For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.
I Corinthians 6:9(NIV)- Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
I Timothy 1:8-11 (NASB)- "But we know that the Law is good, if one uses it lawfully, realizing the fact that law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers and immoral men and homosexuals and kidnappers and liars and perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching, according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted."

So I would not want anyone to burn in hell. Homosexuals go straight hell. They burn.

Hell is marketing bullshit invented by men to keep retarded people like you in line.

Bob, Bob, Bob, back to embarrassing true Christians I see. You really should save your torture of scripture for someone who might possibly care, by my count. other than yourself, that would be no one.

Maybe you should think about the way you sound. You are no more of an authority on where people go after death than the next guy. Seems kind of rude that someone would take your ridicule because he doesn't want to YOU to burn in hell.

However I do know that the all powerful compassionate god of the bible is 100% impossible because there is evidence of avoidable suffering.

A lot of religious people do tell their lies very politely. It doesn't make them true.

If you want to claim that;
1. Gay unions are 'natural'.
2. Gay unions are the same as marriage.
1. Why is there then not one similar example of a proportionate presence of gay 'marriage' in even ONE culture from start to finish of the culture's existence like marriage has?
2. Why is there then not one similar example of the acceptance of gay 'marriage' in even ONE culture from the start to finish of the culture's existence like marriage has?
3. Why is there not one geographical location, where gay 'marriage' established a foothold, held and spread like marriage did?
4. There is historical evidence of a brief and rare presence of gay 'marriage' in a few cultures, but they NEVER took root and spread. Why?
5. In fact, there is also historical evidence that even when gay 'marriage' did begin to show up, it was resisted.
A simple rebuttal to FACT 1 is to provide verified evidence of ONE culture where gay 'marriage' existed and was accepted from the start to end of that culture.

The greatest deduction we can get from history, is to learn from it. That fact is the power of my noting that history has always rejected the concept of gay 'marriage'. This in spite of having thousands of years and thousands of cultures to establish gay marriages. Not one culture has ever done so. Anywhere.

You give proof to the second deduction we get from history; Ignorant people refuse to learn from and deny the lessons of history. The sad consequence is that innocent people get caught in paying the price.

Not only that, you hang you hopes to change the reality of history on the belief that a court can legislate your 'morality' on everyone, while rejecting the very same concept in real morality.

The degree of denial is really astounding to witness as a watchman.

Are you saying your culture has already finished?
If not, you might as well be asking "Why should christians stop burning witches?"
