““Disordered”? Huh? A PC euphemism? Christianity considers homosexuality to be a SIN.”
FALSE. Christianity considers homosexuality to be a disorder. Christianity considers homosexual ACTIONS to be a sin. There’s a difference between disordered “orientation” and acting on it. Attraction is not sinful in itself. If you’re attracted to your friend’s wife, you’re just attracted to your friend’s wife. It might make life difficult, but it isn’t inherently sinful. To act on it, however, would be. Homosexual attraction is unnatural and therefore disordered, but even that attraction is not inherently sinful since it is not chosen. Homosexual behavior is chosen and therefore sinful.
“Christians believe that when people involve themselves in homosexual relationships they are violating God’s Holy Word.”
Thanks for proving my point: “involve themselves”. There’s a difference between attraction and “involving themselves in homosexual relationships”.
Everything I said is true and absolutely irrefutable from a Christian point of view.
Got a chapter and verse on that?
God calls it SIN.
CHURCH teaching calls it a disorder.
1 Corinthians 6:9-11 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

Wrong. Jesus taught that what's in the HEART is sin.
Lust = adultery. Hatred = murder.
He set the bar much higher than just acting on the physical actions. Sin is a matter of the heart and is in the heart before it is in the actions. It doesn't become sin only when acted on. It's sin before that.
