Homosexuality - When discussing homosexuality, the biblical emphasis is on behavior and the verdict is always that it is sinful.
Paul argues in Romans 1:18-32 that homosexuality is one consequence of rejecting God as creator and his created order. Paul indicates that both male and female homosexuality result from a denial of God.
In 1 Cor, 6:9-11 the practice of it appears in a similar vice list and Paul comments that anyone who continues in these sins will not inherit the kingdom of God. Arsenokoites refers to the active (dominant) partner in the homosexual act. However, in addition to homosexuals, Paul adds a second word "effeminate" or malakoi the passive member of the relationship.
In the ancient Greco Roman context, these terms for the passive and active partner refer to the cultural practice in the ancient world where one's slaves were often sexual exploited, while others were a consensual relationship between two people.
While scripture identifies homosexual acts as sinful those who repent and receive the same cleansing sanctification and justification as every other believer who turns from sin to Christ.

No need for a lengthy discussion. This is further backed by Creation in which He created and set the standard for the human race.
Man and woman. Male and female. Sex and gender are inherent and match.
Heterosexuality is the ONLY approved relationship resulting in a optimally God centered life, marriage, and children, then repeat.
There is no excuse or reason for supporting it. Even if your lover, spouse, child, etc, "comes out" and claims "I was born this way." (No evidence for such lunacy.
God will not give way for you, me, or someone else b/c of them. In fact, you don't own them. As God is our Creator, Father, and Authority He owns everything.
 
I don't understand what you said by "Even if your lover, or spouse "comes out" and claims "I was born this way." as long as the relationship is Heterosexual?
 
"Even if your lover, or spouse "comes out" and claims "I was born this way."
This refers to the new politics of denial by the alphabet movement -
homosexual love (and lusts) are not a product of human upbringing and of our inherent human nature for sin, but is genetic -
I was born this way and therefore my sexuality is not sin, homosexuality cannot be condemned by God's moral laws.
Already we can see the politics of accepting paedophilia coming into play along similar lines of "some people are born with this proclivity for pre-pubescent sex,
and therefore they should be understood and not condemned."
 
Yes, I agree with what you have said. But, my question is that my spouse or lover can be heterosexual and homosexual at the same time?

Well, there are people who "identify" as bisexual ( both homo and hetero ).
But some people say, even if you don't have physical sex with someone of the same sex, but merely want to.. that makes you homosexual. ( Even though you may be in a hetero marriage )
I personally disagree. Being tempted doesn't make you a sinner. Even Jesus was tempted.
But you do need to take your thoughts captive, and not continue to entertain homosexual thoughts.

Jas 1:14; But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust.
Jas 1:15; Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death.
Jas 1:16; Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren.
 
Some of the transsexuals are encountered a bit of difficulty with their libido. The
boys that identify as girls are discovering that that they still have feelings for girls.
Well that's a problem because as girls their interest in girls makes them lesbians.

The same goes for girls that identify as boys. Their retained interest in boys make
them gays.

It appears that puberty blockers, hormones, and surgery are not all that successful
in helping kids shed their skin, so to speak.
