About Homosexuality.?

Question

Are there any verses or statements in the bible which say that homosexuality is wrong?

Answer 1

Here are a few passages about homosexuality:

Rom 1:26-32

For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, 27 and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error. 28 And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper, 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful; 32 and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them.

Lev 18:22
You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination.

1 Tim 1:9-10

realizing the fact that law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers 10 and immoral men and homosexuals and kidnappers and liars and perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching,

1 Cor 6:9-11 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10 nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

As you can see, the Bible is very clear about the practice of homosexuality. I don’t see any way we can accept homosexuality without rejecting God’s Word. Further, there are some strong warnings listed here. As Christians, we want to see everyone saved, so we want them to hear and accept the gospel. These passages indicate that if they do, there will be a life-change taking place (for anyone, not just homosexuals).

Answer 2

Yeah, in the entire Bible there is a sum total of 4 verses about homosexuality. The Bible mentions that slavery is okay and rules regarding it many more times then it ever does homosexuality.

Most of the verses reguarding homosexuality can be found in Leviticus. Now, oddly enough, most of the Christians who so obessviely oppose homosexuality ignore these other rules in Levitius. Like, did you know that if you were clothing made out of more than one fabric you should be put to death. Or, if you touch a woman who is having her period. Or approach the alter of the Lord with imperfect site.

If you are going to condem people for one rule set fourth in the Bible then you better damn well condem them for the rules in the verses right next to it too!

Pick one, either ignore all the rules or follow all the rules. Dont pick and choose the ones that fit your views on life.

Answer 4

Whether or not the bible says it's wrong, it isn't.

Homosexuals don't have a choice in the matter. Neither do heterosexuals. You don't choose whether you like boys or girls, unless you're bisexual. Also, I don't recall there being anything about female homosexuals in the bible, or am I missing something? What's with that?

If God makes homosexuals what they are, who is anyone to say that what we are is wrong? Are you heteros questioning God's intent for homosexuals to be on our planet? Because, I promise you, God didn't make us by accident.

Answer 5

Yes, it does, however, I'm sorry but i dont know the exact verse, but i am 100% sure that the bible says homosexuality is a sin and is very bad.

Answer 6

Sure, but there are also statements that say Love thy neighbor, no matter what. All you ever have to do is pray if you feel someone or something is wrong not go bash their heads in or treat them like they're not human. But since when did Christians ever pay any attention to what's in the Bible, they're only good at quoting it half the time, as far as putting it to practice, well, well!

Answer 7

No, in ONE version it says that a man should not lie with another man, but of course those who worship the bible above God's teachings of Love, take that literally, when in reality it was talking about disease of that time and how no physical contact should be made with others (like shaking hands or hugging and the such) in order to keep disease from spreading. Any place or time when a person uses the bible as a guide to hate or discriminate against others (such as the KKK and the mark of Cain) you can just assume that it is someone who has read one version without study or background and has taken one scripture out of context for their own selfish unGodly purposes!!!!

Answer 8

I hear lots about old testament verses, and they all say that the "practise" of homosexuality is wrong, but nothing about homosexuals being evil, or having homosexual feelings being wrong.

And I thought that Christianity is a new testament thing. Do Christians eat pork? Do they get circumsized? They don't follow all old testament law, so why are they so concerned about this one?

Answer 9

Yes, but you have to realize that the bible as written by men, not god. and has been changed over the centuries to reflect the thinking of the times The whole sodom and ghommorah story is about homosexuality.

Answer 10

It also says fornicators will not inherit the kingdom of God. A lot of people are doomed. On average, people are having sex within their 3rd date. On tv, they are doing it on their first date. I really think it's worse for heterosexuals to have so much sex as compared to homosexuals. With heterosexuals, there are major consequences for having sex - creating an actual person! There should be no oops baby, but people have sex without caring about those consequences. People should just hold on until they are responsible to take care of children instead of having sex, sex, sex. Just masturbate to each other if you are dire need of something instead of actual sex, and having kids that might be aborted which is awful.
