Bible says to hate the sin, but love the sinner.
Ro 3:23 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,Thats a very common misconception in some circles. The fact is, that is a direct quote from Ghandhi, a Hindu. The Bible nowhere says anything of the sort. What does it say?
“16 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.”
Proverbs 6:16-19. Notice there that God makes no distinction between the sin and the sinner.

This is about as direct a way that I’ve seen anyone who claims the name of Christ address this issue. It’s worth a listen.
Ro 3:23 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
Ro 5:8 But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Jn 8:11 She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more.”
Sorry I don't understand what you mean. Are you saying we are to hate sinners?Yes; none of this provides blanket judgement that we should hate the sin and love the sinner.
Maybe he was a good Hindu?Thats a very common misconception in some circles. The fact is, that is a direct quote from Ghandhi, a Hindu. The Bible nowhere says anything of the sort. What does it say?
We are all born subject to our sin nature. Science can dig around and try and figure out where sin comes from and how a human becomes debauched, but they will not ever figure it out. It is a spiritual matter, and beyond the sight of man.
The fact is we all struggle with our own brand of sin be it pride, or lust, or anger, etc... Being a homosexual is no different than any other perversion or addiction there to. The be all end all is that regardless of what age that we are overcome by our base desires, sin is sin, and each has his own battle. If a man refuses to take up his cross, he will excuse his sin in what every way that he can. So even if born with a bent toward homosexuality it is not an excuse, no more than it is an excuse for any of us to indulge our sin nature. If it were then drinking and whoring and fighting and killing, is just how we are and it is also just as excusable.
I find it ironic that the homosexual community will universally say that that thieving, and killing is wrong and evil although it is found through out the animal kingdom, yet point to the animals in nature to excuse their behavior. They will also condemn the alcoholic, and drug addict yet there is equal evidence of genetic predisposition.
My question on the matter is, why aren't Christians wise enough to see this and call it?
Hi Vashweb2
As the report indicates it is a very complex picture. Scientists and psychologists still have no conclusive answer.
From my own experience, being gay is not a choice. Certainly not one I ever remember making. It has always been there. It is just something one becomes aware of as one grows up. So I think this is what gay people mean when they say they were born that way. Sexuality is just not a choice in the way that going out to buy a new pair of shoes is.
Homosexuality is not different than any predisposition to sin.
