We all have sinful thoughts. We are all jealous, we are all covetous and we are all naturally greedy AND horny. It is how one reacts to these feelings that makes a civil society.
The fact is that not every human desire, natural or otherwise, should be championed by society as a good. The same is true about homosexual activities. They are, BY FACT, disordered and dangerous. The are also NOT of use to society as a whole. That is why we don't desire to champion them with societal blessings.
I stand corrected.
Actually homosexuality is a sin (being in that state is merely a symptom of greater sins (either done to the person or by them) in the end it is one of idolotry of self- See Roman’s Chapter 1-3.
Do I believe that a person can be not be tempted (even once) this way and be a Christian: sure (but that in no way would make the person homosexual because that perverted abnormal thought was be the exception, not the norm). If one identifies as “gay” then that merely shows outwardly of a heart problem.
Pray for them, pity them, but do not excuse this.
Proverbs 23:6-8: 6 Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats: 7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee. 8 The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words.
Homosexuality is defined as, "the quality or state of being homosexual" and, "erotic activity with another of the same sex".
Seems to me that God was speaking to the evil of being homosexual as well as engaging in activity of a sexual nature with a person of the same sex. I will defer to God as being the authority on this issue.
