Feelings are not sins.

Actions can be sins.

So what are you referring to? The action or the feeling?

Both. Also lust, not just lustful actions, is sinful.

Lust is a sin. But mere thoughts are not.

However, innate feelings–especially when not dwelt upon—are NOT a sin. Never have been, never will be. If one does not entertain fleeting thoughts, they are just thoughts. God does not punish us for thinking.
 
It’s unfair to call the feeling a sin; feelings can’t be helped. If a man is attracted to other men it’s not because he choose to be; many homosexuals often try really hard to be heterosexual at first.
 
Yes. Homosexual feelings are not a sin, Anyone homosexual or heterosexual is called to refrain from sexual relations outside of marriage.

I always wonder how posts like these make our forum friends on the forum with SSA feel.

When is the last time anyone posted "Anyone agree heterosexual activity outside of marriage is a sin?
Why is the rate of those having sex outside of marriage so high? etc etc.

Just a though of mine.
 
Sins are actions, not dispositions. Homosexuality is a disposition.

Homosexuality is an affective disorder, a “cross in wiring” as it were where certain feelings are directed exclusively in directions that are contrary to human flourishing. “Same sex attraction” is a broader term, and I think quite a few people experience same-sex attraction at times in their lives without there being any “wires crossed”, or without having any particular “disposition” toward it. There’s a taboo on people discussing their own experiences of same-sex attraction. Sometimes people who very aggressively attack the disposition of homosexuality (as opposed to the sin) are afraid of homosexuality, as if it is a virus that someone might catch. It’s not like that.

Does anyone actually disagree with this?

Sin is a theologically loaded word, which only has context within its belief system which has little meaning to an outsider, for example in Buddhism there is no concept of sin at all. Many religions, even many Christian denominations, do not consider biological facts like homosexuality sinful.

No sane person considers any “biological fact” sinful. Only human acts can be sinful.

There is a difference between experiencing unwanted desires and intentionally entertaining or indulging those desires.
There is a difference between experiencing unwanted desires and deciding that one will perform the act if given the chance.

To put it another way, emotion is not choice. Emotion is raw material. What matters is how we respond to it.
Temptation is not sin.
