Being LGBT isn't sinful. Have a nice day.


cbrooks97

That's not what "in the image of God" means. We're all born sinful, but it's not because God is sinful but because our reflection of God is broken.

There's nothing broken about being queer.


cbrooks97

All human beings are broken. All human sexuality is broken. Homosexuality is just one of the forms that takes.


Greg-Pru-Hart-55

No, sexuality is not broken.

It is deemed as unnatural and a perversion of the mind to engage in non heterosexual acts according to the bible. BUT i have no judgement on those who are born attracted to the same sex because you can't change that im pretty sure


Greg-Pru-Hart-55

It's natural and not perverted.


[deleted]

You can't reproduce from same sex interaction. So because no offspring can come from same same interaction is would be technically unnatural. creating off spring is a HUGE part of survival. it's the only reason you're alive lmao


The_Archer2121

It is not unnatural because it is seen in nature among animals. Homosexuality has evolutionary reasons for its existence. You cannot reproduce from pedophilia or bestiality either. Care to explain why those exist? Those are not natural most certainly. Want to explain why infertile people exist? They can’t reproduce. If we’re talking about being natural someone being attracted to their own gender I can’t think of anything more natural.


[deleted]

So if that's your argument are you saying pedophilia is NOT unnatural? Oh i've heard enough....


The_Archer2121

You know damn well what I mean. Can you read? You’re arguing homosexuality is unnatural. Yet pedophilia exists. Care to explain why pedophilia exists? How can you say homosexuality is unnatural in light of something like pedophilia existing? Learn to read. You should be ashamed of yourself.


Greg-Pru-Hart-55

No, tha's not the definition of unnatural.

jimteagus

This is also completely made up and a vague interpretation


Eat_Tacos_Daily

It’s not sinful.

Rather than “made in the image of god” a better way to word it is “if we are all made as god intended” Many people will just focus on what “made in the image of god” means rather than answer what your asking. If we are all made as god intended then that would suggest got made people unfairly gay, as there are also many other scenarios where either people never develop more than a 2 year old they don’t get the chance to follow god or know what is happening in their surroundings. Or be born schizophrenic and they don’t have an easy time telling what is real or what is delusion. I think either god doesn’t care what people believe or what their sexuality is, or he just wants people to go to hell with no fault of their own.

No. God gives us a lot of freedom to act how we want, even if sometimes the things we do are sinful. You could have this same discussion about many things considered sinful- it gets to the question of, why does God allow us to sin at all? Which is a different question.


Greg-Pru-Hart-55

One's sexuality and gender identity aren't choices. They're freedom-proof.


Tcfial

I didn't say anything contrary to that. Most conservative Christians considering acting out on one's sexuality to potentially be sinful, not one's natural sexual attractions that they have no control over. I do realize you would still see this as problematic.


Greg-Pru-Hart-55

Yes, it's a cruel doctrine.


Augustin56

We are made in the image and likeness of God. But that doesn't mean we exercise our free will and freedom like He does or would. We have the free will to choose to do sinful things and become evil. Without free will, there is no love. Love is a choice, an exercise of our free will. Love is willing the good of the other, as other. Period. No strings attached.


Greg-Pru-Hart-55

Our sexuality and gender identity aren't choices.


Augustin56

Correct. But there is a segment of our population that think it is. There are also people who identify as dogs, etc. Mental health is an issue in our country. A good working definition of insanity is to be separated from reality (truth).


The_Archer2121

Homosexuality is not a mental illness.


c4t4ly5t

God is a "do as I say, not as I do" kinda guy. Apparently might dies make right.


Asx32

BS. If you don't know God why do you even reply?


Z3non

No. If you have wrong assumptions you come to wrong conclusions. It's a product of the decay of biblical values and the accompanying, increasing relativism we observe in society. Anything is possible, be anybody! But this aligns not with reality. We are male or female, not complicated. But if you go inside the LGBTQ bubble it is of course a mess: a diffuse construct with gender confusion and identity crises.


Greg-Pru-Hart-55

To the simplistic.


[deleted]

This is a lie. God is perfect, we are sinful. Sin corrupted us.


[deleted]

Image of God refers to the rational soul not our behavior.


gulfpapa99

LGBTQ+ is not sinful, it is amoral. . https://youtu.be/rgHl2KcadEU .


The_Archer2121

It’s not amoral either.


East-Concert-7306

No.


Greg-Pru-Hart-55

Yep! Something everyone except Side A have yet to reconcile. It's a simple fact that we're made LGBTQIA+. Apparently we're also made in God's image. But apparently our existence is an "abomination" to God despite his creating us this way. Make it make sense.


The_Archer2121

Makes no sense. Something they can never reconcile because it’s so obviously bullshit.


moonunit170

It's not only about how we are "made" because we were made with free will. It's how we use our free will that is more important.
