This is obviously an very important subject for Christians, which requires much clarification.
Why is there no mention of homosexuality in the ten commandments and in Christ's Sermon on the Mount, the Beatitudes? As far as I am aware.
I do not know much of other major religions but is there direct forbiddance in their texts and teachings?
My own stance is I believe in one man, one woman marriage and in the traditional family unit. This is what I believe the Bible teaches.
Yet there is no guidance of any alternative way, but does that necessarily mean other ways are sinful?
I think that there are a lot of pastors and rc priests that have led many to think that the ten commandments were far and above all others while the others were perhaps obsolete.
Certainly the 7th Day Adventist and Hebrew Roots religions do plainly focus on those.
The truth is that sodomy (not gay), as the Bible calls it, is refered to as an abomination as are those who practice this especially reprehensible sin.
The normal person is not tempted by it.
When I go shopping for underwear, I don't get tempted to burn in lust towards some model wearing briefs: Not even close.
Normal temptations cover all categories, but there are a few that are not temptations.
I Corinthians 10 says,
"
13There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it."
Since homosexuality is not a temptation that is common to man, then who is tempted by such?
Those of the cities in the plain located where Lot chose to settle. Romans chapter 1 describes those who go through a transition until God gives them over to a reprobate mind. They get to a point to where they will not get saved. God is not focussing upon that category to get them the blessings of salvation. He is more interested in parents protecting their children from such offenders as those in the video below.
Some pastors stupidly say that people indulge in homosexuality because they are single and must get married in order to prevent that sin. They must be speaking for their own warped proclivities that are like the poopes because absolutely no normal man in their congregation agrees. However I have heard with my own ears wicked pastors blame celibacy for the reason so many RC priests are rapists. Nothing is further from the truth.
