Homosexual Behavior Is Wrong.

I'd like to explain why same sex sexual acts are wrong from a religious viewpoint. First I want to talk about why I think there is a God. I won't go to deeply into detail and I don't expect people to simply accept my arguments as conclusive. I think that the Big Bang theory is evidence that God exists(1). I think that fine tuning(2) in the Universe is also evidence. I consider Intelligent Design theory to be strong evidence of design in living systems. I infer from that that there is a God. ID is supported by statistical analysis (probability)(3) and observation and analysis of living things. Malaria can adapt around malaria drugs but not around the sickle cell mutation even though it has had plenty of time to do so in evolutionary terms. This shows that the mechanism of undirected processes doesn't work(4). One other thing. ID predicted that the so called "Junk" in DNA might not be junk and that we should reserve judgement. Evolutionists declared it junk(5). ID's prediction is being proved right(6). When I logically analyze this information I come to the conclusion that the Creator whoever he or she is one and is eternal, all powerful, and all knowing. I think the faiths that match with this best are the Abrahamic religions. I like Judaism because it describes a God like the one I've already discovered so far. It also tells me that He cares about us and what happens to us. He leaves us with clues about how to tell when it's Him specifically talking to us. He sends prophets, they do miracles, and they teach things consistent with what He taught before. The problem with Judaism is that is makes promises that go unfulfilled and commands unobeyed. The Christian faith provides answers to these problems. Jesus fulfills the promises and obeys the commands. Jesus is a perfect answer to the puzzle left unsolved in the Old Testament. Islam doesn't work because it rejects one of the central concepts taught in both faiths that came before it and that is blood atonement. So let's have a look at what God has to say about same sex sexual acts: Leviticus 18:22 ESV You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination. Romans 1:26-28 ESV For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error. And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. 1 Timothy 1:10 ESV The sexually immoral, men who practice homosexuality, enslavers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine, Now, it's true that the law was given only to Israel. I include it here only to help clarify what God means when he says the word "Homosexual". Some have argued that it means "Male prostitute". The passage doesn't support that. The passages of the New Testament are very clear on what "Homosexual" means and that it's wrong. To try to make the passages mean "Temple prostitution" or something similar strains the passage to the breaking point. We need to ask ourselves what the passage most likely really means not what we can make it mean. (1) http://www.smatteringsbooks.com... (2) http://www.geraldschroeder.com... (3) http://www.arn.org...
