where in the bible does it say being gay is wrong?

Answer 1

It doesn't, but it says homosexual acts between men are an abomination to God. Being gay doesn't mean you're evil, it just means you're gay, and you have very little chance of passing on your genes and raising a family of your own.

Peace

Answer 2

The Bible does not specifically use the word "gay".

The Book of Leviticus states that a many who lays with a man as he would a woman should be killed and is sinful in the eyes of the Lord.

I'm just paraphrasing here, not judging. I'm just answering the question.

Answer 3

Primarily, the Christian position regarding homosexuality is based on two portions of NT Scripture: 1 Corinthians 6:9 and Romans 1:18-32. The most controversial of these is 1 Cor. 6:9, because certain irresponsible folks have purposefully mistranslated the meaning of the words "malakos" (translated as "effeminate" in the KJV) and "arsenokoites" (translated as "abusers of themselves with mankind," in the KJV, i.e. homosexuals). One web site that perpetuates these mistranslations is "soulforce.org": http://www.soulforce.org/article/homosex... These folks argue Paul "made up" the words "malakos" and "arsenokoites," and we cannot be certain what they really mean. Soulforce postulates these words only condemn male prostitution. This is blatently incorrect.

Ask any reputable Greek scholar about this controversy; after he/she rolls his/her eyes in complete exasperation, you will be told this: "malakos" is an established Greek word and means "soft or fancy." "Arsenokoites" is a combination of words: "arsen" means male; "koite" means bed, although it's also a pun meaning coitus. Put together, this word refers to homosexual activity.

As for Romans 1:18-32, women who "did change the natural use into that which is against nature" are condemned, as are men who, "leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet." As far as I am aware, there are no translation controversies here.

Christians should understand that we are to "hate the sin but love the sinner." This applies to adulterers, murderers, fornicators and other sinners as much as it applies to homosexuals. One sin is not worse than another in God's eyes -- with the exception of unbelief.

Peace.

Answer 4

The Book of Leviticus

Answer 5

Old Testament - Leviticus.
That's where the reference to 'man not lying with another man' can be found.
However, in true religious style, they choose to ignore the other 'thou shalt not......' bits.
Like rounding the hair at the temples, or wearing clothes woven of different materials....and something about women and periods...find it - read it - it's cr@p.
These nutters just use the bits that suit to oppress minorities

Answer 6

1Co 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

Rom 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
Rom 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.

Lev 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.

Answer 7

im assuming u mean the judea christian bible.

Romans.
to be more specific (cuse i know you probebly wont read the whole book tonight) romans 1
"4Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

26Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27In 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."


also, soddam and gamorah were highly sexual cities, and by sexual i mean homosexual.

Answer 8

Could it be assumed that men and women were put on this earth to procreate. I'd like to see gays do it. Let's face it, if we were all gay, the human race would die out in one generation.
