- Depends on how you define "homosexuality". The term is not so black and white. The Bible teaches that anyone who places their faith in Jesus as the atonement for their sin, is a Christian, at that very moment and into eternity. But the Bible also teaches that once someone is Christ's, their desires change. They seek to please God and forsake inclinations that are not in line with His plan for their life. So, I believe that someone can struggle with homosexual desires and be a Christian. But I'm skeptical of those who claim to be Christians and who embrace an openly gay lifestyle. Because this would indicate that they are not being transformed into the likeness of Christ, which is what happens once someone has entered a relationship with Jesus.
- By "they" I was speaking of homosexuals.
