i bet you cant!
although i do see that they say that adultery is wrong-i see nothing in these passages that says homosexuality is wrong!!
Leviticus 18:22
Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
1 Thessalonians 5:22
Abstain from all appearance of evil.
Genesis 2:24-25 says, “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.”
Hebrew 13:4 says, “Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.”

in leviticus God is telling Moses to go tell the Israellites "i am the Lord your God you must not do like they do in egypt where you use to live and you must not do as they do in canaan where i am taking you.do not follow their practices.you must obey my laws,and be careful to follow my decree.i am the Lord your God.keep my decrees,and laws,for the MAN who obeys them will live by them. I am the Lord.
then from verses 6-30 goes into what Man shouldnt do.so When Modes talks to the the Israelites he is talking to the men so he is telling the men not to sleep with other men as they would sleep with a woman. if he was talking to women he would say women for example " A woman must not present herself to an animal to have sexual relations with it; that is a perversion.
in thessalonians all evil means things that are sins to God so every sin in the Bible is concedered evil.With that being said you have to read where God lists homosexuality as a sin(1 Corinthians6 :9-11 and 1 timothy 1: 9-11)
in genesis that is self explanitory it dont say a man will leave his father and mother,and shall cleave unto his husband and they shall be one flesh, and they both were naked,the man and his wife,and was not ashamed.. besids that God wants us to marry and procreate 2 men or 2 women can not have sex and get pregnant the way God wants
hebrews ok my Bible say it a little different it says Marrage should be honored by all,and the marrage bed kept pure,For God will judge the asulturer and sexually immoral.
but either way once again if it is concedered a sin by God it is evil.If 2 men are having sexual relations in a bed (or anywhere) it is a sin to God. so if 2 men are married and have sex the bed is not pure because they are commiting a sin.
the big mistake people have in quoting the bible is they only using certain verses,when in actuality you need to quote several verses and different books and chapters.That is why i have a student bible,in the index it lists something then everywhere it is mentioned.I have a feeling someone quoted those to you and did not tell you there is more to it than what they told you.
I hope this helped you :D
oh i almost forgot sometimes you need to start farther back in chapters and verses to get the full understanding.

Leviticus 18:22
Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
1 Thessalonians 5:22
Abstain from all appearance of evil.
These two scriptures do speak of homosexuality. Anything that does not go according to the word of God, is considered to be evil.
Here's another one for you....
Romans 1:25-32 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
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:
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.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
You can be in denial all you want, but it wont change the FACT that God does not condone homosexuality in any way shape or form!

In John 10, Jesus is speaking to those who didn't believe in His Deity. In fact, when you go back and read the verses in the context (verses 24 and following), you'll see that the Jews wanted a "sign", or proof--even though Jesus had healed the eyes of the man who had been blind since he was born! The discussion was spirited--read it, please, in the early part of the chapter. Thus, Jesus is saying He and the Father are One in terms of "substance". Athanasius would use this same phrase, "substance", when he defended the doctrine of Christ's deity against Arius. The unbelieving Jews understood clearly what Jesus meant: they wanted to stone Him to death! Now, in John 17, Jesus is praying to the Father. He's already explained to the Apostles what the Father and the Holy Spirit were going to do after Calvary--which was coming quickly. A few days later, Jesus was crucified and three days later, alive again! His prayer was for the believers, actually those who hadn't believed yet (read the context) who were going to become His followers. Let me try to state this kind of briefly: first, Jesus knew that as the disciples preached, others would believe and be saved; second, He knew that there would be a time of separation but one day they would be united. Finally, one day, all believers would be together with the Lord at home in Heaven. John 14 speaks of the time when Jesus would indeed bring the believers to be with Him. These are two different topics, one concerning Two Members of the Trinity, the other concerning believers who would one day be with the Lord Himself! Even so, come, Lord Jesus!

Hebrwes 13:4 Marriage, you think he is including Homosexuals in this word Marriage? you are deceiving yourself, he said FOR THIS CAUSE SHALL A MAN LEAVE MOTHER AND FATER AND CLEAVE UNTO HIS WIFE, WIFE IS A WOMAN, he made them male and female, and said be fruitfull multiply, what part of GODS words do you not understand, WHAT do you THINK, ABOMINATION means? what do you think thou shalt NOT means? God does not honor marriage in Homosexuals, there for they are fornicators, and there for they are sinners, and an abomination, whice things God hates. Romans chapter 1 has some reading for you too.

If the passage from Leviticus is too obscure for you, here are some that make it plain.
"Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. 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. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11
"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: 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. Romans 1:26-27

Keep in mind the verse referring to homosexuality is from the old testament..before christ was born..jesus said not to judge so we shouldnt, I actually believe homosexuals can get into heaven..they are sinners just like everyone else..and if a straight sinner can get into heaven so can a homosexual. Thats how I feel.

I'm not a Christian...but the key phrase is:
Leviticus 18:22
Thou (man) shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
IE, men should not treat men sexually the way they treat women sexually. Is that unclear?

1 Corinthians 6:9
9 What! Do YOU not know that unrighteous persons will not inherit God’s kingdom? Do not be misled. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men kept for unnatural purposes, nor men who lie with men,

Most people do not need Bible quotes to know that homosexuality is wrong. How about "be fruitful and multiply."
What does that tell you about homosexuality?

The argument is, that homosexuals are too perverted to sustain a normal relationship, so therefore its classed as adultery.
