Where in the Bible does it say that we should not be gay?

Answer 1

No where, actually.

Look... most people, even priests and pastors, misinterpret the passages about homosexuality.

The story of Sodom and Gomorrah? That's a warning against rape and inhospitality. The reason for Sodom's destruction is made clear in Ezekiel 16:48-50. According to Ezekiel, the sins of Sodom were pride, laziness, being inhospitable, neglecting the needs of the poor, greed, and idolatry (the worshipping of idols). Nothing about homosexuality is mentioned.

Leviticus? Those passages were part of the Holiness Code which has been done away with and is no longer binding to modern-day Christians (or anyone else for that matter).

1 Corinthians? Mistranslation - the word malakee in this passage is used elsewhere in the Bible to mean someone who lacks discipline or one who is morally weak, and never is it used in reference to sexuality or gender.

1 Timothy? Also a mistranslation. 1 Timothy was an admonishment against male prostitution, not committed, loving same sex relationships.

Romans? In the passage the Greek words physin and paraphysin have been translated to mean natural and unnatural respectively. Contrary to popular belief, the word paraphysin does not mean "to go against the laws of nature", but rather implies action which is uncharacteristic for that person. An example of the word paraphysin is used in Romans 11:24, where God acts in an uncharacteristic (paraphysin) way to accept the Gentiles. When the scripture is understood correctly, it seems to imply that it would be unnatural for heterosexuals to live as homosexuals, and for homosexuals to live as heterosexuals.

Answer 2

At 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 the apostle Paul listed practices that would make one unfit for God's Kingdom. :"Men who lie with men" is listed there among such things as adultery and drunkenness. There are two extreme viewpoints regarding homosexuality by religious people. There is the homophobic view that homosexuals should be feared or hated, and then there is the attitude that God accepts people no matter what and homosexuality is just an alternative life-style. Neither view is scripturally correct.

It is not politically correct to say so, but homosexuality is unnatural and can be overcome. At 1 Corinthians 6:11, after listing practices condemned by God, this statement is made to the Corinthian congregation: "that is what some of you were. But you have been washed clean, but YOU have been sanctified, but YOU have been declared righteous in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and with the spirit of our God."

Also read Romans 1:18-27 (this passage mentions male and female homosexuality); and Leviticus 18:22 (surrounding verses mention incest and bestiality). No one would say bestiality or incest is an "alternative life-style". God created humans with the capacity to enjoy sexual intimacy for the purpose of a loving marriage between a husband and wife. Homosexuality violates God's law and purpose just as adultery does.

Answer 4

Romans 1

Answer 5

Hmmm must not read the Bible very much. Even children Bible stories talk about Lot and the burning of the 2 cities. His wife turning into a pillar of salt because she looked back on the destruction of evil. I do not condone gay behavior but I don't harass or cause trouble for them either. We will all stand before the judgement seat. God has said,"He will judge whom he will judge, but of us he expects us to forgive all mankind."

Answer 11

Gay referring to homosexuality? Think about it how would the human population grow if everyone was into same sexual acts.?

Some where in Leviticus it talks about a man should not lay with another man as he would with a woman. It's some others but I can't think of them now.

I'm just answering your question, not trying to convince anyone should change. That's another whole different topic.

I myself am struggling with making a solid decision one way or another because I know the truth but I lkie the things of that lifestyle and know the consequences. And at this point in my life, I'm not at a stage to preach hell fire about homosexuality.
