I believe our main mission as humans is to love each other as Jesus Christ of Nazareth has loved us, and to love God with all of our heart. I definitely recognize that as sinners, we stray off of that path and do not. I believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God and went to the cross to die for our sins. Without this sacrifice and without believing in it, we would suffer the consequences of our sin, which is death.
I do not believe that homosexual, or gay, love is a sin. However I do beleive that homosexual lust is a sin. To explain, the bible has been used countless times to condemn homosexuality, when in reality homosexuality is not condemned so cleanly. Sure, the lust, the self seeking, incestuous, non-consensual part of homosexuality is condemned just as the lustful part of heterosexuality is, but the love is not. See, when the bible was written, gay love did not exist. Historically, the only homosexuality existing at that time was the lustful, non-loving activity between members of the same sex. Later on in time gay love emerged, consisting of consenting, selfless, and patient relations of the same sex. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 tells us what love is. It says, "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails." There are so many gay relationships out there nowdays that are everything this verse describes. And the bible also says in 1 John 4:8, "Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love." God is love. We know that sin is that of which goes against God, what separates us from God, so how could love ever be a sin if love is God? How could gay love be ungodly if love is God himself? I do not believe it is. Of course, I could be wrong, I don't want claim this as true and if it isn't, lead you astray. The only way to know for sure is to have the holy spirit in you and pray for God to guide you, to show you the way. This is what I've done myself and then God allowed me to date a boy at my school for about three months. That love showed me for certain that the homosexual relationship wasn't the problem. It wasn't because we were gay for each other (really we were both bisexual) that we broke up. It was simply a lack of the click for him. Now our love never failed; we both still love each other in a very platonic way. We just recognized that we werent the perfect match for each other. This is also something that commonly happens in heterosexual relationships.
Homosexual lust is very much a sin. The incest, rape, pedophilia, taking-advantage-of-relations, ect., all of these are condemned. Romans 1:26-27 says, "Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error." Most people use this to condemn all homosexuality, but overlook how the author, Paul, writes about specifically lust. He did not say any mention of love, only mentioned how the lust was the unnatural relation they turned to. Lust is not love. It is the opposite of it. Lust is not patient, lust is not kind. It envies, it boasts, it delights in evil and scorns at the truth. It does not protect, does not trust, does not hope, and doesn't persevere. Lust does not last. Lust goes against God. Homosexual lust is condemned. Heterosexual lust is the same.
To summarize, homosexuality is not so easily defined as either a sin or righteous. It is the same as heterosexuality, a two part equation where the love is good and the lust is bad.
