Why is homosexuality common?

Answer 1

Things that are natural tend to proliferate throughout the natural kingdom... e.g. same-sex relationships have been documented in almost all species on earth.

It's a bit like the colour blue... some people like it, others don't; but you don't usually say that liking the colour blue is 'common'

Answer:

According to The Bible: "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination." (Lev.18:22)

The Literal Bible with Strong's Definitions says it this way: "And with a male, not you must lie as one lies with a woman; disgusting it {is}."

Strong's definition of "abomination" or "disgusting" is: "tebel" - "mixture, i.e. unnatural bestiality."

God's Word says such behavior is perverse and "unnatural." Yet, from the beginning, man has deviated from what his Creator has commanded:

"...and God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually." (Gen.6:5)

The flesh is naturally rebellious to God's Commandments (Rom.8:7)... and authority in general. Like rebellious, undisciplined children left to themselves... man will almost always do the exact opposite of what he is told to do.

Althought the natural carnal minded tendency of man toward perversion is just one of the things our Creator wants us to learn to reject and overcome - as long as a society at least acknowledges God's laws and authority in its makeup... perverse sexual activity is not "common," nor in public display. It's shamefully committed privately and out of sight.

It becomes common and acceptable when the society flaunts his Creator's authority, turns to the imaginations of his heart... and tolerates his transgressions.
