Created in the image of the one God and equally endowed with rational souls, all men have the same nature and the same origin. Redeemed by the sacrifice of Christ, all are called to participate in the same divine beatitude: all therefore enjoy an equal dignity.

The Catholic Church believes there is nothing sinful about being bisexual or homosexual. But bisexuals and homosexuals like all unmarried people are called to celibacy.

The Church specifically says that homosexuals (and bisexuals) "must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided."

Here is the text of the document, On the Pastoral Care of Homosexual Persons (1986): http://www.newadvent.org/library/docs_df86ho.htm

For more information, see the Catechism of the Catholic Church, section 2357-2359: http://www.usccb.org/catechism/text/pt3sect2chpt2art6.htm#2357

With love in Christ.

Interesting. Sin as a topic is designed to engender a feeling of guilt and thus to allow control by a priesthood.

Sin per se is not a fact unless you create and environment in which sin can exist.

I do now allow myself to be controlled by anyone. Sin does not exist.

No, don't sweat it. Know thyself.

No, love cannot be denied whether you want one gender or another.

You are asking us? i would say no.

Nahh..you can be bi if ya want to :)

Frankly, my friend, there is no such thing as sin. Sin implies there is some greater authority to answer to for a transgression against their will. Morals should not be derived from that sort of cause. Immorality should be judged by what harm you do to other individuals. I see nothing immoral in two people of the same sex showing attraction or affection to each other. There is no harm done. While it may go against your sensibilities, cultural teachings, and personal choices it is not wrong.

If you take the Bible as absolute authority then think on this: the Bible was born of a primitive culture rank with tyranny and sexual repression. Sins were taboos that enforced authority of the strong who were willing to break them to crusade against those who in their own right saw the crusaders as sinners. If you value freedom and individual rights then you cannot rely on a canonized book based on interpretations of translations of writings more than 8 thousand years old. If you follow your own mind you can at least work out for yourself a reason to be a bigot.

Not in my world.

"but living a lifestyle that doesn't allow for procreation is a sin" -maesterchief

So, holymen living a life of celibacy are sinners?

The Bible is very clear on homosexual sex being sin. Bisexuality can be described as someone who sometimes is involved in homosexual sex, other times in heterosexual sex. The homosexual sex would be a sin. But keep in mind that outside of marriage, heterosexual sex is also a sin.

Again, this is all according to the Bible, which is the only source of information I have to say whether something is sinful or not.

I certainly hope not!! Why dont you ask someone who specialises in your religion.. whoever that might be and let them them tell you the answer you require.

It should not. Don't judge people on their sexual (or other) preference.

The answer (if you believe in Jesus Christ-the only saviour of this world) is made clear in the Bible in Romans 1:26-27. It says men committed INDECENT acts with other men, and received in themselves die penalty for their perversion..He calls it indecent and perverted. The Lord shows you His true heart towards the way man and woman should live in union towards or with each other in creation..He created man in His own image (Adam) and Gen. 2:18 says, The Lord God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him." The Lord says suitable....hmmmm...let's see what that means...God created woman (Eve) and all descendants of Adam and Eve to be man and woman united together because they are suitable for each other AND just think about the anatomy of the human body....woman and man fit perfectly together and can create babies...men and men do not and women and women do not fit, nor can they create a baby! So, to all of you who call yourselves Christians, and you are saying it is ok to be homosexual or bisexual, I do not know who you're God is, but the God and only God and creator of this whole world, says the way He wants his people (creation) to live in the Holy Bible...and HE is the final authority on the subject. Now, that's not saying He doesn't love them and have mercy on them...He will help to change them when they are truly in their hearts ready and accept and realize they are really living against God and they are living in sin...doing things that people in Sodom and Gomorrah were doing in Biblical times when God destroyed that city. (for sexual immorality) It still applies today..He's a never changing God, culture changes and what they accept changes, but MY GOD NEVER CHANGES...Love them, but do not conform to the world's ways, and pray for them and minister to them and believe that through your efforts they will be delivered from that satanic stronghold and receive salvation from God..

Of course it isn't!! don't listen to the ridiculous regurgitations of the Christians spouting their bible passages. It's just a collection of books chosen from a much larger number and put together by a committee. You are born with likes and dislikes!! Nobody attacks you because you like Tabasco sauce on vanilla ice-cream do they? You are just acting on your natural biological urges. enjoy your life without guilt and fuck all the bullshit religious hate laced garbage

Of course not.. they are just any other human beings

uhm of course not! ;D everyone is naturally bisexual.

In a word Yes.

No it isnt. Dont believe that celibacy crap either

Personally I don't think it's a sin.

Only God can answer this question. He's the ultimate judge, not any of us.

You'd have to consult your god about that

absolutely not! =)

I beilive that you are a good person and will go to heaven if you do the best you can every day to make the people in your life safe and happy, and as long as you do that then it shouldnt matter when you had sex or what sex you had it with. live your life as best as you can and thats all you can do.

As this is in the Christian section, I am going to give answers about the Christian paradigm. The answer is that it depends.

Many Christians believe that homosexual sex acts are sinful. Many Christians believe that thoughts about actions are just as sinful as the actions themselves. (There is some Biblical precedent for this, even from Jesus, who said that looking upon a woman in lust was adultry.) For those in this group, the answer is yes.

Now, there are groups (such as the Catholics) who believe that bisexuality or homosexuality is not a sin in and of itself. However, the caveat here is that homosexual sex acts are still considered sinful (either inherently or because they are outside of marriage).

Some groups do not believe that homosexuality and bisexuality are a sin, and do not believe that homosexual sex acts are, either. They base this on the context of Biblical passages, which mostly refer to temple prostitution (sacred prostitution). These views can often come with the caveat that they are performed within a long-term, monogamous marriage (these groups generally perform said marriages).

I hope this helps.

I don't think so.

You only have one life to live, do what you want.

That would be between the individual and his and her(both) maker. Although I would be pretty sure God would not be to happy, he/she would have some explaining to do when the time comes.

Who said "Tho shall not be homosexual", DID GOD SAY THAT, no he didnt

Nope. Just double the fun.

If Jesus Died for our Sins and we Don't Sin he might have died for nothing. don't worry about it.

GOD knows best so leave it to your GOD and to mine.

Straight up sin

No. Its not against any of the 10 commandments.

A non terrible sin. Good morning! I am sending you a burst of positive love to protect you as you venture forth today!

If it's a sin to be Bi-Sexual then all of us are living in sin. Most people seem to feel that sex only encompasses intercourse. No so, As sex can be in any form of how we relate to another person, not just in the bedroom. Touching ,hugging or kissing, even when it doesn't lead to sex,is sex. So if you are a father or mother and have children, Do you just love those who are of the opposite gender and not the rest? We have all engaged in Homosexuality, Self-Simulation, Masturbation in an other word, long before we made our sexual preferences. Bi-Sexuality is just a matter of retaining a physical and emotional attachment for both gender.

Many believe so, yes.

Yes.

If it is, then I'm going straight to Hell.

It's really hard to believe that something in nature (which is by God) can be a sin. Why would we feel for same, opposite or both genders then? we don't BECOME bi right? We are attracted to both genders. It's nature not choice. I don't think it could be a sin.

If I understand you and at the risk of over-generalizing; from a Christian perspective yes. From a pagan perspective no. And the answer should only matter to you if you decided how to look at it. In other wards it is only a sin if you agree that it is a sin. If you disagree than it isn't. If your religion teaches that it is a sin and you value your beliefs above your relationships then it is a sin. If you don't place your faith above your relationships then it isn't. The cure would be to end the behavior or ignore the religion or change the religion. The chioce is your alone to make.

Are you asking about the "act" of pursuing males and females or are you asking about the actual attraction? Because so far it seems like some of the religious institutions look down upon the action, not so much the innate desires.

One of the seven deadly sins: Greed (for both genders). No. I don't really believe that.

Are you hurting anyone by being bisexual? No. So why should anyone have a problem with it, but I'm sure that's not what some of these relgious weirdos are gonna tell you...

I've noticed that some Christians tip toe around the subject of homosexuality or bisexuality. It is "tolerated" or "accepted" without mentioning what Scripture says about it.

Whether a person is bisexual (gay part time) or homosexual (gay full time), Scripture says that it is a sin, as is any form of adultery or fornication. I'll most likely get negative comments and down grading for this answer but so be it. Scripture says what it says.

Nope.

I believe that as long as you don't hurt anyone or anything, it is not considered a 'sin'. Besides, I don't believe in 'sins' anyway. I believe in right and wrong. Your choice of sexual orientation is not wrong, you can't choose it or change it. So be the best person you can possibly be, be generous, kind and respectful to people. What you do in your personal life is no one's business but your own. Don't let anyone tell you being different is wrong.

It is not a sin to be a bicycle.

In Christianity as I know it, it is a sin to have sex with someone of the same gender. Actually being bisexual isn't a problem. Well, that's what I've heard. Everyone has different opinions on the specifics so it's no use for me of all people to argue about them.

I can say, though, that it's all bullshit.

Its a sin to commit adultery. How can you have sex with two people without committing adultery?

In my opinion, yes. At the same time, I care less of any person sexual orientation.

My 2 cents.

i dont think theres anythng wrong with it, i think its lame to be a trend bi but whatever
