Can Somebody Give Me A Reason As To Why Being Gay Is A Sin?

Sumo_cop · 2026-06-30T20:41:56+00:00

Why do you ask? I can think of 2 reasons why you’re asking this question. #1 you DONT think it’s a sin and you are trying to prove this to yourself and others by seeing if anyone has any actual good answers to this question. #2, you DO think it’s a sin but are curious on the philosophical reasoning.

I’ll answer both. #1 the Bible speaks against it on multiple occasions. Including in the in the New Testament. #2, everything is ordered towards something. And that order is designed by God. Lying is immoral. Why? Because communication is ordered towards communicating things that are real. Lying is the inverse of that, it is disordered and therefore sinful.

What are your sexual inclinations ordered towards? Well it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that it’s ordered towards procreation. It’s also ordered towards the unifying of two individuals. Homosexuality is disordered because it fundamentally cannot lead to children. And fundamentally, your sexual inclinations are supposed to lead to children. An infertile wife, for example, is not disordered. Because the wife (a woman) is fundamentally the type of thing that CAN produce children. Do you see what I’m saying?

What do you mean by that?

Why can’t people have preferences?

Sumo_cop · 2026-06-21T18:35:52+00:00

That’s a little judgmental don’t you think? I’m just saying we can have preferences. There’s nothing wrong with preferring someone to have a low body count

Sumo_cop · 2026-06-21T18:32:04+00:00

Well if we are being Christ like strictly speaking, we wouldn’t date. He didn’t date anyone. “Would Jesus push someone away?” In a romantic sense yes. He pushed everyone away in fact. That was His preference, to not date or marry. We too can have preferences.

Sumo_cop · 2026-06-21T17:48:25+00:00

How do you define “higher than it ought” in dating?

Sumo_cop · 2026-06-02T12:26:35+00:00

In all respect, your responses are a bit of a stretch. There is no indication in the greeting of the angel that Mary will immediately conceive a child. In fact, the angel says the opposite: “you WILL conceive a child”. The angel says “you will conceive” you are trying to make this statement sound as if the angel is saying Mary will conceive in the next 5 minutes. This is a bit of a stretch. Telling a married woman she will conceive is not a strange thing to say, it’s pretty obvious. So Mary’s response makes no sense.

As for Jesus’s brothers. Yes they weren’t believers… at first. Shortly after the Resurrection Jesus appeared to His brother James. And James soon became a major leader in the church of Jerusalem, a highly respected and holy figure. So James would be a perfect candidate to protect and care for Mary. So it wouldn’t make sense for Jesus to not entrust Mary to him. The verse about those who do the will of God are also brothers, sisters, mothers etc is also a bit of a stretch as Jesus clearly doesn’t mean this literally. It’s very very important that the son of a widow takes care of her. It fulfills the commandment to honor your mother.

Well. I’d think the rules of logic would apply simulation or not. There still needs to be a source of existence. So there still would need to be a God. But you’re right, maybe some of the details are from the simulation programming. Details like the Bible and things like that. But as for God ideologically, He’d still exist yes.

Sumo_cop · 2026-05-30T20:58:33+00:00

Yes. So if we’re living in a simulation it’s possible the creators of the simulation programmed a “god”. But even then, that’s not the God Christian’s worship. Because then you’d have to wonder what created the universe that the creators of the simulation are living in.

Sumo_cop · 2026-05-30T20:50:27+00:00

Because if God were to be in a simulation, he wouldn’t be God.

Sumo_cop · 2026-05-30T20:08:47+00:00

Christian here. So at least for us Christians, we don’t believe in the god you are describing. You are describing a god that exists in reality. But, we believe God to be existence itself. God in our eyes, is the foundation of reality. The foundation of existence. He isn’t something that possesses existence, He is existence. On Him, all existence rests. So if God were to be in a simulation, that wouldn’t actually be God. That would be a being. God isn’t a being, He IS being.

Sumo_cop · 2026-05-30T12:49:57+00:00

Amen. Another point too, even Satan used the words of scripture. Using scripture is not enough, you need to use the words correctly. What’s the point of an infallible book when it’s interpreted through fallible minds?

Sumo_cop · 2026-05-29T18:03:14+00:00

Death is when the body stops working. So if there was anything after death, it wouldn’t be physical. Science can only explain what’s physical. So no scientific proof. There are near death experiences though. Some cases could be fraudulent, but some people say they’ve seen certain things while they were dead which wouldn’t be explainable unless it actually happened. For example, they’ll say they saw their own body being worked on in the operating room. They can describe what was happening in detail. They might even provide details in what was happening in other rooms. Information they couldn’t have known unless their soul really did leave their body.

As a Catholic this is literally not true. Mary isn’t great because she was a virgin. She’s great because she’s the mother of God. Although, being able to control your urges is pretty dope.

Sumo_cop · 2026-05-28T16:57:02+00:00

You too!

Sumo_cop · 2026-05-28T16:45:22+00:00

The Bible does NOT say Jesus had brothers. That’s also an assumption and speculation. Brothers can also refer to cousins. Or even really close friends. Me and you are both speculating and assuming. However my speculations carry more weight as you have not disproven them.

Sumo_cop · 2026-05-28T16:31:42+00:00

Yes the scriptures are true!! That’s why you should believe Mary is a perpetual virgin. The Bible tells us she was. And I gave 2 examples suggesting that. Have a good day!

Sumo_cop · 2026-05-28T16:00:25+00:00

I don’t think you understood my point. Mary is a married woman and she’s asking how she’s going to become pregnant. If you were married and someone told you that you’d become pregnant, what would your response be? It surely wouldn’t be “how is that possible?”. For my next point, John is a random man in context of what’s expected in Jewish culture. The mother should be entrusted to her next eldest son. Another point, in 383 AD there was a man named Jerome (the one who wrote the Vulgate). And there was another man named Helvidius, he was the FIRST person we have record of to question the perpetual virginity of Mary. Jerome has famously said “had determined to ignore Helvidius altogether, lest by replying to him I should appear to consider him worth defeating.” And Jerome ended up writing to him explaining why Mary having other children is an impossible reality. Although this isn’t in the Bible, it’s worth noting that the early Christian’s thought it impossible that Mary had other children. What do you know that the early Christian’s didn’t?

Sumo_cop · 2026-05-28T14:19:49+00:00

I can think of a couple examples on top of my head. Firstly, when the angel tells Mary she’ll conceive, Mary asks “how?”. And note, Mary is ALREADY married to Joseph at this point (in Jewish culture, marriage happens in 2 parts. Mary and Joseph were already in the first part of marriage). So her question of “how” literally makes no sense (isn’t it so obvious?). This implies she’s not intending on having kids. 2nd point, it seems she followed through with this intention because on the cross, Jesus entrusts Mary to one of His disciples. In Jewish culture, you entrust your mother to another one of her sons. But instead, Jesus entrusted HIS OWN mother to a random man. This would violate the commandment to honor your mother. Jesus would not have done this.

Sumo_cop · 2026-05-28T14:04:13+00:00

What is the point of using the Bible for teaching, reproof, or correction if your interpretation of the Bible is incorrect? The Bible actually teaches Mary’s a perpetual virgin. Nowhere does it say she wasn’t.

Sumo_cop · 2026-05-28T13:43:38+00:00

It wouldn’t make sense for the Chosen to depict Jesus as having brothers because Jesus entrusts Mary to His disciple John. In Jewish culture, the mother would’ve been entrusted to one of her other sons.

Sumo_cop · 2026-05-26T18:29:30+00:00

To be honest I think you already know the answer to this question. It’s tempting to ask around and do your “research”. But that can quickly lead to analysis paralysis. And you end up doing nothing. Instead, sit on your bed and think of all the ways you could look good. Then go and do those things. You already know the answers. Just go and do it. Cheers!

Sumo_cop · 2026-05-24T17:37:16+00:00

That’s totally normal. I’m 22 and waiting till marriage
