Is being gay a sin yes or no

Concerning the first question, “Is it sinful to have same-sex attractions?” the answer is complicated. First, we should probably distinguish between (actively) sinning and (passively) being tempted: Being tempted is not a sin. Jesus was tempted, but He never sinned (Matthew ; Hebrews ).

Simply put, a sin is anything that fails to live up to God’s standard of conduct. As some have said, any thought, word, or action violates God’s will and His moral standards as revealed in the Bible. But the Scriptures will also consider sin to be an entity that is not dependent upon human actions. A full picture of sin is more complex.
