This answer is absolutely ridiculous. People are born gay. They don't choose to be gay. Its scientifically proven. Look it up. Therefore, it is not a sin. Stop discriminating and hating. Start accepting and loving.

Let me begin by saying that WeUsed2bu Ministries and its counselors DO NOT hate homosexuals nor do we discriminate against anyone. Christ Jesus has put His love in us for all women every where and we accept everyone just the way they are. We are not here to condemn people. We are here to help set the captives free and help believers stay on the narrow road that leads to life. Our commitment is to give advice based on the Word of God which is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12) We are here to speak the Truth of God’s Word without compromise. We are not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were our goal we could not be Christ’s servants. (Galatians 1:10)
People being born gay has not been scientifically proven. What has been proven by the infallible Word of God is that people are born with a sinful nature that we inherited from Adam. We are born with corrupt desires.
Psalm 51:5 Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me.
Psalm 58:3 Even from birth the wicked go astray; from the womb they are wayward and speak lies.
Romans 5:12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned
However, although we are born with a sinful nature and sinful desires that does not mean that we have to act out on them or allow them to define us. Through the power of the Holy Spirit received through faith in Christ Jesus we can overcome any temptation. The temptation of homosexuality can be overcome if one surrenders their life to Christ Jesus and relies on His strength daily. God is faithful. He will not allow the temptations in our lives to be more than we can stand. When we are tempted, He will show us a way out so that we can endure. We just have to choose to take His way out. (1 Corinthians 10:13)
The definition of homosexuality clearly states that it is a sexual desire or behavior directed toward a person of one’s own sex. The Word of God says that these desires and behavior are immoral and detestable. Those who practice them will not inherit the kingdom of heaven.

The definition of homosexuality clearly states that it is a sexual desire or behavior directed toward a person of one’s own sex. The Word of God says that these desires and behavior are immoral and detestable. Those who practice them will not inherit the kingdom of heaven.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 “Do 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 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.”
Leviticus 18:22 “Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable.”
Leviticus 20:13 “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.”
Romans 1:24-27 “Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen. Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In 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.”
When people do not fear God or His Word they will do whatever they think is right in their own eyes. They do not care what God’s Word says they are controlled by their sinful nature and are enslaved to it. Those who are dominated by the sinful nature think about sinful things, but those who are controlled by the Holy Spirit think about things that please the Spirit. So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace. For the sinful nature is always hostile to God. It never did obey God’s laws, and it never will. That’s why those who are still under the control of their sinful nature can never please God. Those surrendered to a homosexual lifestyle can never please God because they are committed to their sin instead of to God. (Romans 8:5-8)
But if they will confess their sins to God, repent of their immoral lifestyle, and believe in Jesus Christ then the Most High God will forgive them and they will have right standing with Him.
