Should the Christian church teach that homosexuality is wrong

Yes! There are several grounds, reasons and rationales why homosexuality is wrong. However before I expound let state clearly every person has a right to choose what they want. However I do not believe that one set of people DO NOT have any more rights to public sympathy or empathy, because others refuse to accept their position on any given issue. Nevertheless we all have a right to express our opinion about what we or anyone else says or believes.

So why do I feel they have a right to speak out against it? In the beginning God made man and woman and said to them be fruitful and multiple and fill the earth. Here is rationale number 1: since homosexual couples cannot procreate, they have invariably made a mockery of this holy command. [to this day I never seen a pregnant man, nor have I heard that a got another woman pregnant].

During Adam's time in the Garden of Eden, it is said that God observed Adam and recognised that he appeared to be lonely (even though he was excited to be with him [GOD]) so he decided to give him a companion. Note carefully God did not ask Adam what he wanted... God decided in his infinite wisdom that Adam needed a woman. Here is rationale number 2: if homosexuality was a holy option, God would have presented Adam with Eve and Steve and ask him to choose which one he preferred. God made no such mistake, instead he clearly demonstrated that man was made for woman, and woman was made for man.

The Bible clearly shows in both the Old and New Testaments that homosexuality was unnatural and seen as abomination. Note again not an abomination, but as abomination (Ex 18:22) in other words despicable in the eyes of the Lord. Paul said it was a state of mind that men and women desired greatly when they withdrew their hearts and minds from the love of God , so much so that God allowed them to become reprobate and yield to unnatural affections and effeminate behaviours (Romans).

Christians should also condemn homosexuality because its proponents and well-wishers are purposely distorting the truth on what is acceptable to God. For instance the homosexual community keeps insisting that they have a right to hold high office in the church of God. This is fundamentally wrong and a blatant attack on the tenets of Christianity. The Bible declares that if anyone desires the office of a bishop, a deacon, and so by extension a priest... he must be the husband of one WIFE. Modern dictionaries will suggest that a wife can be a male, but that in itself
