If some of you believe that God created homosexuals then why He does not want them to love their co gender individuals but allows heterosexual relationships? Is God practicing injustice here?

Homosexuals are minority so there will be no rampant same sex relationships in the world if God allowed same sex romance and the world will still increase its living human beings because the majority of humans are heterosexual people.

If God is just then he should allow both homosexuals and heterosexuals to choose who to love right?

Well I have no problem obeying God's order to only love a woman as romantic partner as a man because I am a heterosexual.

but I can feel the hardship and grievance of a homosexual if he learned that the Biblical God does not want homosexual romance. because I saw many times how a homosexual complain about it and wonder why will God orders this unjust and discriminatory commandment.

I don't see anything unjust with God saying homosexuality is wrong. People are not designed for sexual relations with the same sex. There can also be health risks. What is wrong is when homosexuals are treated poorly and sometimes even persecuted for being different. Everyone should be treated with equality and respect. It is good to raise awareness of homosexuality and bullying among other topics and to form communities, to help unite each other and create a sense of belonging.

Why God insist that only man and woman should have sexual relations only?

Why can't God from the start made the human bodies where even two men or two women have sex is they will not get any disease?

All humans that are born into this world carry with them the curse of sin which they inherited from their ancestors who decided to obtain the knowledge of good and evil... Therefore we all sin. some in one way some in another way some in a lot of ways. But these sins still remain sins and thus evil it does not matter if we have a built in propensity to commit them..

People trying to justify evil because people where born cursed with a propensity to commit evil is the height of evil itself..

Lets take this same attempt of justification of evil "'because they where born that way"" and use it to try and justify other evil sins.. Just for demonstration mode.. I will alter some words in green to show how wrong the attempt to justify sin is..

:::If some of you believe that God created pedophiles then why He does not want them to love little kids but allows heterosexual relationships? Is God practicing injustice here?

or

:::If some of you believe that God created necrophiliacs then why He does not want them to love corpses but allows heterosexual relationships? Is God practicing injustice here?

or

:::If some of you believe that God created people into bestiality then why He does not want them to love animals but allows heterosexual relationships? Is God practicing injustice here?

Can you see the types of evil this same evil argument can be used in an attempt to justify sin..

Homosexuality is unnatural. Sex is about procreation and filling the Earth with generations of human beings.

We see this same pattern throughout nature, the male and female of a given species come together for procreation. That is how God has ordered his Creation.

Homosexuality reduces sex to pleasure and self-indulgence. Heterosexuality fills the Earth with people.

We really have to understanding that God is the one in charge. All this stuff is his, he made it and governs it. He is always in control and we never are. He has the first word and the last word in every matter.

He isn't some optional sideline concept. HE IS. And he is the reason for everything.

Homosexuality was not made by God....that was a choice made by.....wait for it....MAN...

God does not condone homosexuality, nor did he create it. It's not unjust for him to condemn it, because who are WE to question HIS authority??

God set up marriage between one man, and one woman....being homosexual is one's choice, not genetic inheritance.

God knows the procreation of life can only come from man and woman, not man and man or woman and woman.

Truly, who are we to question the very Word of God?

This is the greatest answer I read. It made me contemplate that I should never question God's knowledge about human love.

Your answer has a good point too.

Imagine if God will allow homosexual sex, child sex, animal sex etc.

People who were unfortunate in romantic love might resort doing these things.

humans will not become huge if that happens.

This is crazy.

So, what you're saying is, people are always entitled to act upon their stupid little feelings?

God created them male female. There is no creation of bi, trans, gender fluidity.

Before such things became “normal” there was a lot of speculation that the
various perversions were as a result of childhood influences. That’s when most
sexual preferences are set.

So for example I have a cousin who is gay. As a child/teen he was rather unruly and
a bit of a criminal. He ended up in what we use to call Borstal as a teen. Sort of like
a teen prison where boys were sent to teach them routine, respect, manners, discipline etc.

Only it was all boys and and the staff were men. He has never said so outright but
hinted that homosexual practices went on in there. I strong believe it was this
Influence which unfortunately shaped his own preferences.

I know of another man who as a young boy, his mother use to encourage him
to wear her clothes as a laugh. Only now as a man, he likes to wear female
underwear under his manly clothing.

Plus what about people who have a preference for children or animals,
not that I’m trying to be crude or anything. Does the OP believe
God created them the way they are too.

Or what about all the various other perversions out there.
Is God responsible for them all do you think.

I’m not saying all the responsibility for a person’s preferences lies with the
parents by the way. It’s much more complicated then that.

This entire transgender thingy is just crazy too.
There is a very real mental health problem called body dismorphia.
People get crazy ideas that their arm is a foreign body and not part of
them so want to cut it off, or their leg etc.
No one would actually pander to their whim and cut off their arm.

But yet now if you say you want certain bits removed, all the medics say
oh poor you it must be awful to have boobs or other bits and not want them,
of course we will cut them off for you!

I fear it will get worse, young children are now being told and encouraged to
be whatever they want. We are raising entire generations of confused people
with no definite right or wrongs.

What next will it be okay for someone to have two extra legs attached and tail
and start barking like a dog.

I can’t help but think of the story of the Emperor’s new clothes.

God probably gave that some thought.

I believe that there are some that were born wired wrong so they prefer members of their own sex rather than the opposite sex. I will also say that God understands the human condition quite well and fully understands what the thoughts of a homosexual are and what's in his heart.

There are those however that have sick twisted minds and prefer their own kind, or even both, or possibly animals as well. The acts committed by these people are definitely an abomination to God but I would not lump them in with those that were born a certain way in regards to their sexual preference, that are very lonely, and desire affection, and want to love and be loved.

I am not saying that acting on this is right in the eyes of God but at the same time I will not say that it is definitely wrong and therefore sinful. Like I have already stated, God understands these conditions quite well and will leave it in His capable hands as to whether a sin is committed or not, or any other mitigating circumstances.

I believe that God also mentioned that it is not good to be alone. That's in the bible somewhere.

Heterosexuality can and will reduce sex to pleasure as well and also possibly self-indulgence. From my observations I will have to say that very few people chose to get married because of the desire to have children. I will further say that there are few also that chose to get married for the main purpose of having sex. Doesn't take a marriage license for that. I believe that most people, particularly Christians chose to get married out of love and to share life's journey together and their faith in God.
