Do you believe Homosexuality is acceptable to God?
-
Peace Stitch,
That's a very balanced way of looking at it, but I hope this doesn't turn out like the others! It's just asking for it...

Peace all. If a person genuinely feels its right to be gay,and without causing harm,then thats fine by me.Its up to the god within that person to decide whether its wrong or right for that persons situation and mentality.. .

i voted 'not acceptable'.
here is a good article
HOMOSEXUALITY THE SCIENTIFIC PERSPECTIVE
Of all topics most popular in today's media, issues concerning homosexuals and homosexuality in general top the list. Homosexuality is generally defined as a sexual relationship between partners of the same sex. Debate concerning its causes and consequences has been going on for many centuries and almost in every period in human history. However, never before in human history has it been granted such wide scale acceptance in western society as it has now.
The question that I seek to answer in this paper is whether such wide scale acceptance should in fact be granted to homosexual behavior? Is such behavior rational, scientifically functional or is it actually detrimental to society in which we live?

This topic discussed many times. Homosexuality is wrong can't be acceptable by God. Lot story is all three scriptures Torah, Gospel, Qur'an.
I agree with KGB on this issue. I don't understand why it's still an issue with some people.

Seeing as the only unforgivable sin is that of not believing in Allah, I'd say that yes Allah does 'accept' homosexuality, the same way Allah accepts/forgives other sins.
Rubbish!
If somebody comits a sin thinkinking that he will then ask for forgiving then its a worse thing.
If we consider homosexuality is forgiven by Allah, then where is it written that he accepts it also? Sin is that work which Allah does not accept or does not like.
And at one side you are refering the motive from quran that Allah does not forgive who does not believe in him or associate someone with him....if it is so,,,then you must remember a nation "Lut" mentioned in Quran who were victim of nemesis due to there homosexuality.
So dont give stupid reasonings.

It is stated in the Qur'an over and over that Allah is merciful and forgiving. This implies that Allah forgives sins (because one cannot forgive someone who has not transgressed), which by implication means after said act of forgiveness Allah 'accepts' the sinner. Allah also makes references to atonement but does not get into the specifics of the process, thereby implying if one was "sorry" enough the sin would be forgiven (there is room for argument here, but this argument still holds because it allows for variations in the process of forgiveness).
-
The only unforgivable sin, as stated in the Qur'an, is not believing in Allah (or associating other deities with Allah, et al).
-
Homosexuality does not fall under 2.
Ergo, homosexuality is a sin that may be forgiven.
Q.E.D.
P.s. the people of Lut have nothing to do with an individual homosexual; that's fallecious reasoning because it is a Strawman argument.

In history many societies saw homosexual relationships as superior to heterosexual relationships. In any case if we all became homosexuals the human race would shrink, we cant rely on testtube babies forever. And this is perhaps why scriptures seem to say "no" to homosexual behavior.

Agreed.

That means that person keeps having homosexuality, thinking that he is doing fine,,,and then at judgmentday he suddently comes to know that "ooooooooooh, it was sin" ? right?
This is the dumbness which Allah puts on some persons who try to justify their "Nufs" related wishes towards Allah.
There is no issue left in Islam unresolved. -
Peace virtualeye. No issue left unresolved...?... Tell me the 'islamic' solution to a hermaphrodite?(a person born with both male and female reproductive organs.) Should they be a man or woman?...Either way they will be partly gay if they marry...
Please explain... -

Please explain...When I say no issue unresolved then that means in "Quran and Ahadith". And according to Ahadith we can get the guidance, if not directly then Ijtihad (Islamic jurisprudence) is the way for any new matter which arises in the future.
Certainly its not logical that Islam would already have mentioned all the future invenstions by their names,,,such as "Use of internet is Halal in what ways and what not" ,,,certainly it would be rediculous to mention the thing "internet" in that age. Well mentioning the internet is just a rough example ( and not very appropriate one).So if we dont directly find the resolution to some issue, even then we excogitate the solution from the stencil of Islamic laws and teachgings,,,but this must happen by (Islamic jurisprudence). Jurisprudence members would be expert in the knowledge and context of Islamic laws and their social implimentation.
Unfortunately, this the difference which I have with the free-minds here, who say that everyone can understand quran at equal level (no matter he dances in clubs for 23 hours and then reads quran just for few minutes, he will be equal to a person who has intensive effort to study history, philosophy and science).
That is why I say, Every person here is a "Mufti" or selfmade prophet.Sincerely,

Peace virtualeye,
Who are your Islamic jurisprudence at this moment? If you would like to reveal of course!
peace,
I cant unviel this answer directly (as I am already considered bad due being a sunni),,,
but to tell you that this is actually "Islamic jurisprudence" which have then divided in further sects. As a matter of principle they should had one Islamic jurisprudence but since every sect has its own idology with some added extra intensities,,,so it depends upon a person to mostly follow the method related to a scholar he think most appropriate but at the same time he can disagree on any of jurisprudical conclusion in the Sect/SchoolOfThought of that scholar.If unfortuantely there is no one Islamic jurisprudence group then that does not mean you dont go consult a person who has more knowledge of history, philosophy and other subjects to better understand the context of Islamic matters. So it is ok to get guidance from some expert instead of being a selfmade mufti, but at the same time you may disagree or ask from the subjected expert for justification of the reasonings.
I hope it answers you.
Sincerely,

Do you go to Almighty when you have some disease? you get the medicine also and pray also. If you disagree then you should not take any medicine and just rely on Almighty, because he is the biggest source of cure to you....so why use secondary sources despite him.??????
-
Peace VE,
To protect Myself from heart diseas, I regularly pray to HIS ALMIGHTY.
That is also a good cure for not giving into my selfish desires. There is nobody else I can trust this matters, except HIM.peace,
What about physical disease?
