what does the bible say about gay people?where is it located?

Question

also will gay people be allowed in heaven if they ask for forgiveness?

Answer 1

I am honestly an avid bible reader esp on Sundays. I love God. I have yet to find a section that even touches on homosexuality. God didn't even talk about sex, the few passages I've read that indicate sex said " he knew his wife and she was with child" Mary said" how can I be w/ child if I have not known a man." I'm just saying I am and I wish everyone was more open minded. I don't think God created people just to be persecuted. Only God knows if they can be forgiven, but sure, everyone will eventually have to ask to be forgiven.

Answer 2

Of course gay people will be allowed into heaven if they ask for forgiveness for their transgressions.

Yes as illustrated by earlier posts the script has many passages condemning homosexuality and none actually approving it.

If you want more readily visible proof of the less than Godly nature of homosexuality then next time you're in a large city of at least 2 million people (homos tend to live in large cities where the stigma isn't so strong...) go to the gay district and look around ... you'll see advertisement that would be considered too racy to be put up anywhere, those ads might even shock you as to their pornographic nature and they would be out there plain for the public to see. You'll actually be witness to seeing not just homos showing their affection for one another in public but their manner of dress both gay males and lesbians is usually so bizzare and overly revealing whereas the entire gay district would look and feel like one big sleezy pickup joint.

Gays especially as congegrated in large cities tend to display their sexuality in much more vivid and graphic detail than any other society including black communities, such to the point whereby for most nongay people travelling through gay districts, you can't help but feel uncomfortable (at least somehwat) due to the extremely provocative nature of their communities. That should give you a sense of how far from God and His intentions for us homosexuality really is!

Answer 3

God places the homosexual lifestyle within a group of activities that are harmful to the person doing them and the human community at large. God has never put his stamp of approval on the homosexual lifestyle, calling it an abomination and stating that all who persist in it will ultimately end up in a very bad place. Remember Sodom and Gomorrah?

God loves the homosexual and longs for them to come to him and be cleansed, but leaves it up to the individual. And God does not pick on Homosexuals, but includes them in a list of many things that indicate one is heading the wrong way; it is just one among many states of "lostness", it might be noted. John, however, states that Jesus came not to condemn, but to save a lost race... so yes! gay people will be allowed in heaven if they repent and ask forgiveness. Unfortunately, most will persist in foolish pride and rufuse the counsel of God.

For God's mind on everything, including the topic at hand, the best reference is still the Holy Bible.

If you care to read passages pertinent to homosexuality (and other related things) read these references:

Leviticus 18:22, Romans 1:18-32, Galatians 5:19-21, Revelation 21:8, 22:15, Ephesians 4:17-19, I Corinthians 6:9-10, Romans 8:7

Answer 4

Homosexuality is mentioned in a couple of places in the Bible. The first is in Leviticus 20:13 -"If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads."

The second is in 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 not idolaters not adulterers nor male prostitutes not homosexual offenders (10) nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God".
1 Corinthians 6:11 goes on to say "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".

This means that if you are baptized, believe in God and Jesus Christ, and TRULY repent, then you will be saved. That is where it gets tricky, though. Because you have to admit your sin. Most homosexual people that I'm aware of do not believe that they are living in sin, so unless they admit their sin, they will not be allowed into Heaven.

Answer 5

Even though God specifically addresses homosexual behavior in Romans chapter 1, verses 21-32. Gay and non-gay sin is all lumped into the same lump, and none of that lump will be in heaven. Fornication is in that lump - in more than one place in the Bible (do a keyword New Testament search on Biblegateway.com if you want to know the scriptures and verses). I'm not saying that people who've participated in certain sins in the past won't be in heaven. God has granted repentance and pardon from sin and the death that sin brings (Romans 6:23). What I'm saying is that everything God has listed in His Word as sin that will not be in heaven absolutely will not be there. His goal is that people turn from the sin because the sin won't be in heaven with Him.

And, yes, if a gay person believes in his or her heart that Christ was raised from the dead and confesses with his or her mouth the Lord Jesus, and calls on the name of the Lord he or she shall be saved, Romans 10:9-13. Verse 13 says whosoever and does not exclude anyone. Therefore I can safely say that whosoever receives remittance from their sins by the shed blood of Jesus Christ and continues on to know the Lord, walking with Him, learning His ways, loving His ways, confessing his or her sins when he or she blows it and still continues to walk with God all the days of his or her life, then I guarantee - no matter what they were in their former life before Christ - they will be in heaven.

Moses killed a man 40 years before he was called on to deliver the children of Israel from slavery in Egypt, he's there (Hebrews 12:1, which follows Hebrews 11 which includes Moses' name in the cloud of witnesses).

David committed adultery and then put the woman's husband on the front lines where he knew he would be killed. He repented and was forgiven. He's there.

Peter denied the Lord in His darkest hour - and even cursed as he denied Him - he's there.

Paul murdered Christians before his road to Damascus experience and subsequent conversion (the same Paul who said, "Shall we continue in sin so that grace may abound? God forbid!!!" Romans 6:1-2).

The Bible says the name of the wicked shall be blotted out and that His Word is forever settled in heaven. Their names are all there listed among those who had faith. So if their names are listed in the Word of God as the faithful (those full of faith), then they are surely in heaven too.

Answer 6

Not sure where it is located, try Numbers, but it speaks of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. I also believe that if you read James you will see that it is through your faith and your works to support that faith that you will be forgiven. Repentance is available at all times to everyone. Sin is sin. The same way on the cross the sinners were forgive en because they believed, any sinner who believes and repents can be forgiven.

Answer 7

He said not to poke peter into sewers because it is not good for you. He said its a disgusting thing to do, which common sense will also tell you. As for the ladies, well, they're just playing with themselves. Yes, when anyone turns away from what is causing them to miss the mark of all they were meant to be (sinning) God's forgiveness is always there.

Answer 8

Romans is a good place to start.
Yes they can get forgiveness and go to Heaven but they must repent, and that means to turn away from that sin. A change must be made.

Answer 9

according to God, he loves gay people very much (the word 'eunuch' was another word for homosexual)

Isaiah 56:4

4 For thus says the Lord:
“To the eunuchs who keep my Sabbaths,
who choose the things that please me
and hold fast my covenant,
5 I will give in my house and within my walls
a monument and a name
better than sons and daughters;
I will give them an everlasting name
that shall not be cut off.

edited: zenbuddah - please provide the scriptures which refer to anal sex. I would like to read those.

servant and servantof jesuschrist both seem to need professional mental health aid. They see "gay" in scriptures which say NOTHING whatosever about homosexuality. That can't be normal, nor mentally healthy.

Answer 10

Here are a few references. I hope this is useful.

Gen 19:5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where [are] the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know (have sex with) them.

Gen 19:6 And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,

Gen 19:7 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.


1Cr 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 (male reserved for homosexual acts, male prostitute), nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

1Cr 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

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 recompence of their error which was meet.

Lev 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind (man), as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood [shall be] upon them.

Lev 20:14 And if a man take a wife and her mother, it [is] wickedness: they shall be burnt with fire, both he and they; that there be no wickedness among you.

Lev 20:15 And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death: and ye shall slay the beast.
