I said "decision" a few lines up and I do believe homosexuality is a choice. God didn't create it because that's counter to His nature. In Leviticus 18:22 it states "Do not practice homosexuality; it is a detestable sin." In 1 Timothy 1:10 "the sexually immoral, men who practice homosexuality, enslavers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine." I do agree we can't get away from sin but I disagree we should continue in it. Yes, we Christians should watch how we talk to people about topics. I think it's situational on our approach to talking to people about Christ. Amongst each other we can be direct when it comes to encouraging and correcting, however.

Would you say that everything in Leviticus needs to be taken at face value?
And might I ask, if homosexuality truly is a choice, why choose it? Gays get beaten, made fun of, mocked, and even killed. Why would anybody choose to make themselves love somebody of the same sex and then be forced to endure that?
