Rationalizing Homosexual Behavior as Sin

The arguments that homosexual sex is a sin because the acts don't produce children would have to mean that an infertile straight couple would be committing sin if they had sex.

Matt everhard should watch this.

So…resistance to gays is just a social construct.

WATCH: DAVID RECTOR-ARE GAY PLANTS AND ANIMALS GOING TO HELL? FACTUAL EVIDENCE OF PLANT AND ANIMAL HOMOE AND BISEXUALITY.

So if I don’t have sex with a man I am not committing a sin

You are wrong.

I sincerely hope my religion and relationship with God doesn’t hurt my self-worth/love.
God’s love helps and helped me so much, but the church and it’s conservative nature is slowly breaking me.
Homosexuality is a sin, I’ve read that
But what about the rest?
Why do our church oppress the weak, in the same way the people Jesus fought back against!
Why am I crying?

It is also a SIN to Mark you Body wIth Ink. or make any images of god or heaven
How many Good Christins have Jesus Tattoo?
they are All SINNERS

So is it or is it not (a sin)?? All you did was pontificate... What is the answer genius? We all tuned in for a DEFINITIVE answer & you left us hanging . I read that sex before marriage is a sin, is that a lie?

but isn't the natural world a fallen world?

God doesnt change...sorry, homosexuality is a sin. This man is a false prophet and has created his own god...not the God of the Bible

How is trusting the judgement of the Most High unreasonable?

So no reverse cow girl?

You're becoming quite the lost soul.

Or more honestly, Rationalising homosexual behaviour as not sin.

Wouldn't the same arguments be made about Pedophilia?.........having sex with animals......etc.

dan is a pseudo intellect. This video was a joke, period. Even science does not support homosexuality. For procreation, it requires 1 man and 1 woman. This is natural, and as Jesus Christ Ordained. All other arguments are fallacies.

Yes, but if they consider the Bible God's actial words, every word true and supported by the authority of God then the argument of culture and society of that time has no meaning today would not be valid to people who have elevated the bible to be equal to God.

Imagine calling a dude gay today cause he was under with his lady... That simply makes no sense, fragile masculinity?

Wow. I do not believe that Witnessing, is a gender specific role. Though a fundamental building block for building scripture and so forth.....genders that do not touch each other I believe receive the rather honorable epithet of chaste. Jesus reported that marriage is nothing more than a matter of litigation. And the ugly part: the is no word for being "gay". I believe the vernacular used is abomination which has to do with visage. Which obviously comes from nothing more than a horrible critic. God does not create ugly. God creates conventional.

This is SO good.
Thank you.

“It’s not something that people are able to choose”…Yeah definitely a Mormon.

Oh you are wrong here dan, it is a sin.

the problem is with lust between 2 individuals. either str8 or gay. the don't care about procreation or nature.

I was already convinced of all your arguments, but I really like the succinct and scholarly way you present this. Unfortunately, these arguments will only be convincing to people who are educated enough to understand the words and open-minded enough to consider them. It is clear to me that God condemns the lusts of the flesh and infidelity, and upholds chastity and fidelity or marriage without regard to the gender of their partner.

I will have to listen many many more times to your discourse on this subject it is very intelligent !
What more can I say !

Thank you Dr. Dan for explaining how changes in societal norms show that God and the Bible were wrong and should be altered and re-interpreted to meet the new progressive standards of society.

A took part in pre-marital sex and produced an offspring. Most fulfilling sin I’ve ever committed. My life has never been more meaningful.

So, sin is missing the mark and the mark is the bringing about of goodness and progress in yourself and humanity. A bold statement from someone bigoted and stagnant in their ancient beliefs.

PUUUUUhlease.....dont get you words and phrases minced. The bible incredibly clearly states that men that lay with men are an abomination. Just because the term "Homosexual" wasnt coined until the 19th century doesn't mean the Bible advocates the behavior. Furthermore the origin of the word bigot in English dates back to around 1598, via French.
The Bible absolutely 100 clearly defines marriage as the union of a man and a woman. The Bible never implies the only reason for intercourse is pro-creation, it only recommends it as. What the Bible does say is husbands and wife come together daily to thwart the advances of the enemy.
You can twist the terms to appease all the while dragging people down with you.

By his definition theism, is a sin. Engaging in religion brings harm to others so therefore is a sin. All theists need to stone other theists?

Nothing wrong with being homosexual.

Thank you for your video!
The sense of homosexuality isn't to create offspring but it has evolutionary advantages for the tribe, thats why homosexuality exists (see point 4) :
HERE SOME SCIENTIFIC FACTS ABOUT HOMOSEXUALITY:
1 The WHO, World Health Organization, stated clearly, that homosexuality not a disease or disorder, but a healthy natural sexual orientation.
2 It is most likely innate (determined by SNP in several genes and by antibodies (NLGN4Y) during pregnancy), as the opposite sex is never sexual attractive to people born homosexual.
3 Evolution scientists stated in several publications, that homosexuality exists since sexuality exists, since 385 million years.
4 They also stated, that having homosexual members in the own tribe, gives several evolutionary advantages, which explains the permanent share of 4-10% homosexuals of the population.
>> So, the question would be rather: why putting an ethical limit on homosexuality if its natural, healthy and even with a natural sense?
>> Especially now as more and more homosexuals marry and adopt and raise kids that else wise would have no parents.

Blasphemist

Dictionaries are great for defining one's terms. They are definitely not great at measuring the reasonableness of one's arguments. It's a list of words and meanings, not a debate judge. Well done to point this out, Dr. McLellan.

I exclaimed a spontaneous, "Wow!" when he started down the path of, "Sex outside of marriage is wrong because there isn't the premeditation for creating offspring."

Dear Dan. I need your help. I am in the worse possible mind space. Help me please

Your words stem the growth of the cancer of dogmatic religion.

Thank you. I love God and I do accept Jesus as my lord and savior but there’s people who throw Leviticus at me and other verses that I’m sure they themselves have misunderstood and misconstrued, because I am a woman with a woman. I don’t have the yearning to procreate, I feel like the earth is way too overpopulated enough. Why add to it? We’d be perfectly fine adopting kids in need of loving homes. I hate how some look down on you when you say you don’t want to conceive a child. Jesus didn’t have a child, I guess they look down on Jesus too….

"It's not a sin to be homosexual, it's a sin to engage in homosexual activity". Oh, so I'm ok just as long as I pretend to be someone else and deny my own feelings. Glad to hear it. That makes it so much better

Tell me that your daddy wasn’t around without telling me daddy wasn’t around. WOW you are damaged my man.

So you are gay right? Ok… explain why it is not a sin to be gay and engage in gay activities? The “care about procreation” is not an argument. Did you just seriously just call married women “cum dumpsters”? Oh no I’m sorry you said and I quote “sexual receptacle”😂😂😂. Are youF-ing kidding me?

Thank you.

The bible makes it very clear that homosexuality is a sin. However that does not mean that god hates homosexuals or that homosexuals cannot receive salvation. The bible makes it very clear that we are all sinners and that salvation is not based upon refraining from sin because no one would be saved if it were. I'm a married straight guy who has sexual thoughts about other women. I would consider this a normal and natural human phenomena but I acknowledge that this is a sin in the eyes of the lord. Dan is a gay guy who claims that homosexuality is a normal human thing not only to him but that is also not a sin in the eyes of the lord even though the bible makes it clear that it is. That's the difference between the two of us, Dan thinks god is OK with his sin while I don't.

It's very difficult for me to understand certain things in the bible like when Jesus in his sermon on the mount said " But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart." To most people, including me, having thoughts about someone other than your spouse is nowhere near the same thing as committing adultry but Jesus said it was and he overrules anything I think or feel so I am called to repent for this behavior as sin. Not acknowledging our sin and repenting for it and not acknowledging Jesus is our savior is what keeps us from being saved not sin itself. Anyone can be saved if the accept Jesus and repent. It's unfortunate that Dan and so many others are trying to rationalize homosexuality as not being a sin in the eyes of the lord. We all have to acknowledge our sin and repent even if that sin seems completely normal to us and we don't fully understand why god deems it sin.

Why is it a cultural heresy these days to consider engaging in homosexual acts as unethical?

You were my hero after the interview that you had last week. Now I don’t know because I don’t know enough about you.

I am almost 100% sure Jesus literally says Homosexuals are sinners in one verse.

I even saw it recently quoted.

Unless this is argued as mistranslated i have no idea why people claim this when Jesus blankly says it at least once i am almost certain.

The "domination" explanation has been debunked over and over. You are advocating contrary to God's plan. You don't have to care but you are guilty of that.

What annoys me is rationalizing casting stones and working on other peoples sins before working on your own. For once I’d like people to not commit the sin of Corinth, or the sin of sodom according to Ezekiel which is the lack of hospitality, or any of the sins in Romans like strife, malice, greed, envy, boasting, and gossip. Nearly everyone on their high horse does one or more of these sins.
