What does the Bible say in regards to homosexuality?

Answer 1

Romans 1:26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones.
27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.

1 Corinthians 6:9 Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11 And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

Jude 1:5 Now I want to remind you, even though you are fully aware of these things, that the Lord who once saved his people from the land of Egypt later destroyed those who did not believe.
6 He has also held in eternal chains those angels who did not keep their own position but abandoned their assigned place. They are held in deepest darkness for judgment on the great day.
7 Likewise, Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities near them, which like them committed sexual sins and engaged in homosexual activities, serve as an example of the punishment of eternal fire.

Leviticus 18:22 "Do not practice homosexuality; it is a detestable sin.

Leviticus 20:13 "The penalty for homosexual acts is death to both parties. They have committed a detestable act and are guilty of a capital offense.

Dt 23:17,18 "No prostitutes are permitted in Israel, either men or women; you must not bring to the Lord any offering from the earnings of a prostitute or a homosexual, for both are detestable to the Lord your God.

1 Kings 14:24 There was homosexuality throughout the land, and the people of Judah became as depraved as the heathen nations which the Lord drove out to make room for his people.

God says that He will judge Israel. I think we can apply the same thing to our own nation. We entered into difficult times beginning in World War I because we thought we were such a sophisticated nation. We have become so sophisticated that we think homosexuality should be considered normal in our society. We don't like to punish murderers anymore; we would rather accept them into our society. God calls murder and homosexuality sin, and He says that when these things become prevalent in a nation it is a sign that the nation is going down the tube. We have too many judges who know a great deal about the law but know nothing about how God overrules even the laws of a nation, especially when the laws are wrong and the wrong men sit on the benches of our judicial system.

Answer 2

Anyone can fill out a few forms for any motive and make contact with it a lawsuit. I'll be amazed if the courts even listen this out for an entire trial. In the not likely occasion some thing so frivolous and remarkable truthfully wins at trial, we will speak approximately your rights being violated. The final time that executive acquired worried in finding out the way to properly translate the Bible used to be within the days of King James and it'll keep that method. BTW a few of your hyperlinks do not paintings.

Answer 3

The Bible says it is an abomination. Leviticus 18:22, 20:13. The next scripture (Lev.18:23) says to not lay with beast. So the Lord ranks a man being with a man or a woman being with a woman is as bad as a person sleeping with a dog or something. It is an abomination unto the Lord.

Answer 4

The Bible says homosexuality is a sin. It's wrong. In the Old Testament God destroyed the city of Sodom & Gamorah (sp?) because of homosexuality. My preacher talked to us about that in our Sunday sermon. You should use the Bible as a guide to life and you will be rewarded many times over.....)(

(Leviticus 20:13 NAB)


But remember "Thou shall not kill", except for in this cases and hundreds of other reasons you can find in the bible.
