GAY?

I hear a lot of hate from homosexuals on the fact that Christians of any denomination state that being homosexual or gay is a sin. I have heard it said that Christians are spreading hate because they believe homosexuality is a sin. Here is my two cents on the matter of Homosexuality vs. Christianity.

Homosexuality:

•   The Love of a same-sex partner.
•  The physical attraction to the same sex.
•  The finding of your soul mate in the same sex.
• The act of coitus with the same sex.

Sin:

•   An archery term meaning “to miss the mark or bulls eye.”
•  Refers to the missing of the target goal of Gods plan for creation.

Christian Belief: 

God created the Heavens and the Earth and everything in it, and created human beings in His likeness. God created Adam (human male) to search for a partner in all of creation. He named all the birds and the beasts, and found none suitable to be his partner. God saw that it wasn’t good for man to be alone, so God created Eve (human female) from a rib He took from Adam. Eve became the perfect partner for Adam.

The deception of Humanity (man and woman) came from God’s enemy. The enemy deceived Eve into breaking God’s rules with the idea that God was wrong and that we could be like God. Adam followed suit, trusting his partner even when he knew the rules. Sin then entered the world and ruined God’s creation. God has been trying to guide His creation back on track since then.

I shall say that if a person believes this to be true, then being a homosexual is a sin. If you don’t believe God created the heavens and the earth, but instead subscribe to Darwin or some other belief, then being homosexual is not a sin.

If you ask a Christian what they believe, it is not hatred that propels them to say homosexuality is sin; they simply believe that it is not God’s plan.

My heart on this matter is that I believe it is a sin. I am a Christian, and it is not a part of my God’s design that the same sex be together. I believe that God created us to procreate, to share in the act of creation. We are designed to do so with the opposite sex, naturally. There are amazing things that happen when we go the natural route that I cannot even define. One can only experience it.

I do not hate homosexuals nor do I wish to persecute them. I believe in freedom for all humans as a species. This freedom is not defined by the fact that you or I agree. This freedom is not defined by religion or sex.
