well if you have it so thought out then tell me why you think it's so wrong...
I believe that homosexual behaviour is harmful to individuals and society as a whole for several reasons;
Scriptural
1.) Yes, the Scriptures (both Old & New testaments) make no bones about the fact that God has commanded us not to commit homosexual acts. (Lev 20:13) (James 1:13-15) (1 Corinthians 6:9)
2.) Jesus the Christ upheld the Jewish Scriptures, and as the earthly incarnation of the God who is "the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow" (Heb 13:8). Jesus preached a message of repentance; that the sentence of sin could be averted by true repentance and turning away from the sinful behaviour. He said, "Go, and sin no more." (John 8:11)
To restate, we all sin, but the key is to turn away from the sin and repent of it, not to keep committing the same offenses believing that all will be forgiven.
Secular
3.) In my own life I have had many homosexual friends, and the neighborhood in which I lived for a few years in Seattle was predominantly gay. I saw the excesses, the abuse, the imbalance an dexcesses, the sadness, the emptiness, the destruction that the 'lifestyle' leads to. I heard how many of my 'gay' friends had stories of sexual abuse from their childhoods; that seemed an almost constant thread in their lives, perhaps contributing to their homosexuality.
4.) I have seen, in my own more than 30 years of life, that the farther I stray from God's instructions, the worse my life, health, mental state, etc. get, and teh closer I stay with God's instructions, the better things are. And I see this is on a sociological level as well. With the most 'gay' cities being the most crime-ridden areas with the worst drug probs, etc.
Not saying that the homosexuals are resonsible for the crimes, just that the environment that welcomes such "tolerance" also suffers other problems due to am inability to put their foot down for right and wrong.
