I don't believe that it does, in my view, albeit I come down on the side of science in most all situations, whether human behavior or not. That said, most, if not all, religionists view -- by matter of faith in their own specific religion -- many human behaviors are inheriently 'sinful.' While every behavior -- 'good' or 'bad' -- has recipical consequences, the better 'advice' to your question might be to seek answers not just from a theologic point of view but to broaden any inquiry to include other resources and opinions. This is just but one reason why AB is such a great resource. But, dear one, there are many other resources 'out there!' After all 'information' is just that: information. All of us 'take' information, hopefully weighing each bit as carefully as possible. It is then that each of us may either learn more, laying each bit into our cognition, and/or choosing to implement the information into our lives. Even if we disagree with the information we are gathering, having a sense of empathy toward all things 'human' is a worthwhile goal. This last, is what we all share: commonality in our human condition. As you grow up you will undoubtedly find many contridictory viewpoints, some of which will appear quite sound, some not. Believe me, much education does come from ones own experiences (pro and con) and furthermore, from watching the benefits and losses that come from a lack of critical and/or common sense thinking, as produced by those not only around you, but the world at large. One point of educating ones Self about anything is to not only go for standard educational elements, 'proven' truths, forms and methods of learning, but to always keep a side of you that enourages yourself to 'think outside the box.' Most kids are very good at this! Keep this side of you in equal privilege, for it is just that, and treasure it. In each step of your own journey you will undoubtedly hold 'true' somethings that in time will not change, ever. But, really ... all of us who had half-a-brain and thought out-side-the-box, for whatever reason and/or experience, learned it was not only okay to change our minds about some hard-held views, but in my opinion, it is the gaining of maturity that allows one to do so. This keeps each individual personea, the 'whole' of that human, healthy and open! Hope this was satisfying, at least some way ... I would ask WHY you asked this particular question to us here at AB. What were you thinking? What was your subtext? Just curious!

Material prosperity, along with more leisure time and sensuality, are usually concomitant with pride and arrogance and perverse sex being more. Sodom is linked primarily to the practice of homosexuality (Gn. 19; Jude 7. etc.), but concomitant with it was "pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness" (Ezek. 16:49). Homosexual activity is clearly described in Scripture, that of men laying with men as with women, the context being sexual (Lev. 18; 20:12), which is a result of making created things, including one's own body, their "god," rather than the livig and true god of the Bible, "For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: {27} And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet" "(Rom 1:26-27) Such texts prohibit any form of homo erotic activity, and in contrast to hetero-sexual activity, in no place does God sanctify homosexual activity with marriage, leaving all such hetero-sexual unions to be unholy fornication, and that of a most perverse kind. That is because God has made man and women uniquely compatible and complementary, and homosexual relations hold God in contempt. For those that suppose otherwise, see http://peacebyjesus.witnesstoday.org/homosexual_refuted.html. Nor could such be justified even if an innate proclivity to homosexuality be proved, which it presently cannot, any more than other sins, as we are all born with an an innate proclivity to sin in general - due to our inherited Adamic nature - and individually some more than others. But God gives us power to resist sin, to overcome evil with good (Gn. 4:7) - unless we continually yield to sin. See http://peacebyjesus.witnesstoday.org/IsHomosexualitySin.html for more. Yet some of the first Christians were former homosexuals (1Cor. 6:9-11), as to all sinners God offers redemption, if they want Jesus over sin, and ask and receive Him who died for them and rose again, as their Lord and Savior.

The "gay is a sin" thing has to do with people who suffer from "selective reading disorder". They read their own bigotry into the Bible instead of reading the Bible. They take pick and choose Bible passages to condemn homosexual people, and ignore the context in which those passages were written, and what the passages actually mean. In that way, yes- it does relate to pride being a sin. The pride and arrogance of bigoted people who pass judgment on others.

No,to be perfectly frank about this it is to do with pervsersion being a sin.

too much PRIDE is a sin, same as sodomy or being a sodomite is, BUT God said "sodomy was an ABOMINATION to HIM" also....it is a TRUTH THING... HUMBLE AND "STRAIGHT"....IS THE TRUTH.....

The Bible doesn't say that being "gay is a sin" - it says that sexually immoral acts (fornication, adultery, sodomy, beastiality, etc.) are sins. It also says that catemites, sodomites, and the effeminate "shall not inherit the kingdom of heaven" ... along with gossips, whelchers, liars, thieves, drunkards, swindlers, idolatoers, slanderers, the covetous (people who not only envy, but resent others having what they don't) and people who are just plain selfish and nasty. But the one and only place the Bible touches on homosexual desires (as opposed to acts) is in Romans 1. The thing is, in this passage, Paul doesn't say the desires are a sin, but that they are affliction and/or a result of sin ... the sin of turning away from God to idols and worldly things. RO 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. 21 For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God, or give thanks; but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures. RO 1:24 Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, that their bodies might be dishonored among them. 25 For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. RO 1:26 For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, 27 and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error. RO 1:28 And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper, 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful; 32 and, although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them.
