The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) teaches homosexual relationships are sinful. Being attracted to the same gender is not a sin, but following through on those attractions is. Therefore, being bisexual (admitting that you are attracted to both men and women) is not sin. Having a sexual relationship with someone that is the same gender as you (or anyone of the opposite gender that you are not legally married to) IS a sin. There are many gay and bisexual members of the Church, but they are supported in living a life of celibacy or marrying someone of the opposite gender, rather than being with someone of the same gender.

Should Mormons pay for their sinful ways?

Mormons sinful ways? They are the ones that not only believe in Christ but strive to follow him. But since all people do sin, should anyone pay for their sins?


Why do Mormons have so many obviously gay members and don't kick them out since they've already sinned in their heart and will never change?

Because Mormons don't believe that being gay is a sin. We believe that participating in homsexual sex is a sin. If you are attracted to a member of the same gender, that is an unfortunate circumstance, but it isn't a sin. If you act on that attraction and enter into a sexual relationship with them, then you have sinned. Mormons aren't perfect and don't expect others to be either. If you commit a few sins but realize your mistake and sincerely repent of them, there's no harm done. That's the whole reason Jesus Christ came to the earth, so that we can repent of our sins and be forgiven of them.


Is bisexual a sin?

Yes , Sorry but it is.In the Bible in the bible it says not tonot Do Homosexual Ways.A:A sin is when you do something bad, that you know is bad. Being bisexual is natural for some people, just like being gay is natural for some people (like me). So being gay, or being bisexual is just as natural as being straight is for other people. Straight people commit sexual sins when they treat someone badly, or take advantage of someone, or abuse someone. These are sins for everyone. But doing good things with other (consenting) people if you are gay or bisexual is just another way of being loving. And that is not a sin.

If God says it's a sin to be gay does that mean its also a sin to be bi?

Some debate what God said, but two verses in Leviticus make it quite clear that sexual activity between two males is a sin. Bisexual behavior is not, however, clearly identified anywhere in scripture. Although, bisexual behavior demands sexual activity between one person and at least two others, and scriptural law is quite clear that adultery and fornication are clearly identified as sin, and one cannot engage in bisexual practices and not commit one or the other.


Is Bisexual is a sin?

Obviously the perspective of what is and is not a sin will depend on who you are talking to, as different Christians have diffenent views on sin and what the Bible commands. One Christian perspective would to say that having a certain sexual orientation is not a sin - but wrongly acting on that orientation - eg. to have sex outside of marriage or sex with a person of the same gender - would be.
