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.


Rom 1:28 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;


Rom 1:29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,


Rom 1:30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,


Rom 1:31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:


Rom 1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.


Lev 20:13 'If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them.

There are verses on homosexuality but I would not use them as sources. No scholars have been able to figure out the true interpretation

Genesis 18-19

Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13

Deuteronomy 23:17-18

Judges 19

I Kings 14:24 and 15:12

Romans 1:26

I Corinthians 6:9

I Timothy 1:9

Jude 7

I am a practicing, by the book Christian, firmly against homosexuality, (not homosexuals) so here are some verses about that.

1 Corinthians 6:9
1 Timothy 1:8 -11
Galatians 5:19 - 21

I'm sure that there are others but I'll have to look them up later.

If you have any other questions about the Bible or Christianity I would love to answer them or look for insight from the Bible.

1 Corinthians 11:11
"Neither is the man with out the woman,neither the woman without the man, in the Lord"
what this is saying is that You cannot have a marriage without a man AND a woman joined together. Or, pretty much, they will end up in Hell.

Homosexuality is another form of sexual conduct that is becoming more and more widely accepted in our society. Speak out against it in almost any public forum and you will be opposed and ridiculed. But God's word still speaks on the subject.

Leviticus 18:22,23; 20:13,15,16 - Under the Old Testament, a man lying with another man (or with an animal) was an abomination, and they were both to be put to death.

The term "lie" uses an older meaning of the word, referring to the sexual union. This is made clear by the expression "if a man lie with mankind as with womankind." [Cf. Gen. 19:1-11]

1 Corinthians 6:9-11; 1 Timothy 1:9-11 - "Abusing oneself with mankind" is listed along with other sins that are "contrary to the gospel" and cause people not to inherit the kingdom of God (note also "effeminate"). This expression definitely refers to homosexuality, and the phrase is so translated in virtually all modern translations. (See also Thayer and other Greek dictionaries.)

Romans 1:26,27 - People are here described who refused to properly honor God, so they soon became involved in gross immorality involving improper use of their bodies (v20-25). Instead of having a natural desire for a woman, men burned in lust toward other men. This clearly refers to homosexuality, for it is a desire which is natural toward a woman, but not natural toward a man. This is condemned as "vile affections," "unseemly," and "error." It is classed with all kinds of other immoralities which lead to spiritual death (v28-32).

Again, God's intent for marriage involves sexual union between male and female (man and woman) within the marriage union (Gen. 1:26-28; 2:18-24). God created a woman for the man to be his companion. He did not create another man. A marriage between two men or between two women would be a perversion of God's plan. From the beginning of creation, God intended for man and woman to satisfy their sexual desires with one of the opposite sex, not one of the same sex (Heb. 13:4; 1 Cor. 7:2-5; etc.).

Homosexuality is not a "mental illness" nor an overwhelming inherited desire which people cannot control. It is a form of immorality, just like drunkenness, adultery, murder, or stealing, for which people will be held accountable at the judgment day (2 Cor. 5:10; Ecc. 12:13,14).

PS..I hope that you never become "religious" but I do pray that God will reveal Himself to you and you can study scripture for the sake of learning about and praising Him!

HOPE THIS HELPS.

Leviticus 18:22
"Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable."

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."

Romans 1:26,27
Because of this , God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men 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 saids
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..

When going through your answers, remember that Christians believe that the old testament is replaced by Jesus and the new test. I see alot of people quoting the old test. to condemn gay people, but then say the O.T. is not valid re: other questions.

I was right...2 answers below you will find your longest answer and it is full of old Test. quotes...I see that some new Test. quotes are there as well....which means he is a christian bound by the NT!

WOOHOO! That didn't take long. Take a look at the hypocracy -- if you ask why they can eat Lobster, they'll tell you that Leviticus was revoked, so it shouldn't have been mentioned.
