< No. But if you promote it, it is
It’s just like having angry thoughts. But you must control it.
And it might be the sign that your “detector” part of the brain is not functioning properly
Differences
Being gay and doing gay things are two different things. If you were born in such a way that you found the same sex attractive, then that's not a sin. The moment you sin is when you promote the thoughts and/or you actually sleep with the same sex.
Don't think that's fair? It is because just as a male heterosexual have to control his impulsive sexual desires, so does a homosexual male has to too.
Why is it fair that a homosexual can sleep with others all he wants because he's attracted to them and yet a heterosexual has to hold himself to marriage to his only wife?
>> Jesus said commandments that raise up the standard.
For example, if you’re angry at your brother, then you have already murdered, or if you lusted after a woman, you committed adultery.
< WEAK These are higher standards, but just because you didn’t follow them, it doesn’t mean you’ve sinned.
No where did Jesus say a person has sinned by thinking certain things.
>> STRONG No, Jesus said that you’ve already committed the sin when you had the thought.
So there's no escape.
< STRONG According to the Old Testament, it’s not.
The laws were less strict in the sense it didn’t limit your thoughts. However, once you committed the act, according to the OT, you’re liable for death. That’s where it’s strict.
