I asked this on another thread but no one has seen it or just not bothered to answer it.
Why is being gay a sin? when It doesn't effect others and no harm comes from it? What are your reasons for thinking this way? Is it because God says so?.
If so why does God see it as a sin? seeing he is all knowing and knows that gay people will be gay people and actually made them gay when born..wouldn't that be entrapment?.
Or is it you are just disgusted by the thought of the act of gay love making and want everyone else to feel the same way?.

Well, let me propose a counter-question:
What is the evolutionary purpose of homosexuality?
I assume you believe in evolution and not a Creator God, and I also assume that you believe homosexuality to be "natural," so tell me, why would "Nature" create people unable to carry out its prime directive, which is reproduction?
India has had a ban on homosexuality for ages, check out their population. Do you tihnk population growth is seen as a good thing?
Also, your argument really doesn't add much to the discussion. Just because something has no "evolutionary purpose" doesn't mean it's sinful. Lots of things have no "evolutionary purpose".

You're wrong. There were rules put in the place for the Jews for the sake of punishment. Jesus also said that he came not to abolish the law but to fulfill it. So, I'm not sure what you're talking about.
Until Jesus or God comes down and walks among us to tell us that all the rules have changed, I'm sorry, my response still stands. Nothing has changed.

neither does yours. So you're saying gay people exist to keep the population from getting out of hand???
That's the dumbest thing I've...

1 Timothy 2
12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet.
Without gay people, we'd have an extra 3% of the population compounding each generation.

What about women who can't have babies because their bits don't work or men who are sterile? God made them also like that are they sinning also?.
Gay people can and do make babies btw.
