ABSTRACT

Is Homosexuality a sin? Some say it is and some say it is not. People's attitude toward homosexuality has been changing. Christian tradition has considered homosexuality as a deadly sin. They used the biblical texts as the basis of their condemnation. However, there has been different point of views in interpreting the related biblical texts. Some theologians say that the biblical texts do not condemn homosexuality itself or the natural born homosexuals but focus on either the homosexual behaviors done by the heterosexuals and bisexuals or the homosexual ritual ceremony of the other religions or races. There are many countries(including traditionally Christian countries) which have legalized the homosexual marriage, partnership, or adoption. This means that there are many people and countries that no longer consider homosexuality as a sin or an immoral behavior. This article will deal with the core issues of homosexuality and prove that homosexuality can't be treated as a sin.
