What should a Christian's response be to homosexuality?

1. The Bible clearly teaches that homosexual acts are intrinsically sinful. 

2. whether the tendency to commit homosexual acts is genticaly conditioned or is a free choice of the individual makes no difference to the quesiton of the sinfulnes of the act, as all sins arise ultimatley from the fallen condition of mankind regardless of their intermediate causes or motivations.

3. Neither love nor mutual consent justify sexual activity outside of marriage, nor the heterosexual or the homosexual.

4. Homosexual acts, like heterosexual acts outside the bonds of marraige, are sins for which repentance is necessary, the grace of God is offered freely in Christ, deliverance is possible, comfort is assured, and the emendaiton of life through the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit is expected.

5. It is the mission of the church to call for this repentance, offer this grace, mediate this deliverance, proclaim this comfort, and support this sanctifying work.

6. God has created marriage for three reason: (1) to meet the need of mankind not to be alone (Gen. 2:18); (2) to provide through procreation for the continuing life of humandkind (Gen. 1:28); and (3) to curb the inclinaiton to sinfulness in a fallen world (1 Cor. 7:2). As homosexual relationships by their essential nature violate two of these three reason for which God created marriage, they do not constitute that expression of human relationship that God calls marriage, and Christians may not endorse them as such.
