Where in the Bible does it talk about homosexuality?

Answer 1

I think people are misinterpreting this. Let people lives their own lives.

Answer 2

In case you don't want to glean through all that, I'm gonna give you a short list.

Leviticus 18:22
Deuteronomy 23:17
Isaiah 3:9
Romans 1:27 (I remember seeing this one)
1 Corithians 6:9

I don't know if you Bible has a Topical Guide like this one, but there are a few more you can look up.
Happy searching.

P.S.
One of the reasons that homosexuality was considered a sin is because it deprived a couple of men or women of potential partners. This still applies in my opinion, but I'll let you have the fianl say.

Answer 3

Lev 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, 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.

Sodom = Sodomy, Sodomites

Gen 13:13 But the men of Sodom [were] wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.

Gen 18:20 And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;

Gen 19:24 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;

(OLD TESTAMENT? God doesn't change. He is the same today as he was yesterday.)

Answer 4

The Bible is not the "Authority" about homosexuality! The authority of homosexuality is the anomalous and/or the abnormal desires of a sick mind and flesh!

Answer 5

In today's world, you have to ask what version of the bible are you reading from. There are many versions today that have been changed to where you can do just about anything with anyone it seems.

Heck, you have ministers that are preaching it is all right to have same sex relationships.

Ok, here is your answer. First, God created Eve as Adam's mate. He did not create a man to be his mate.

Leviticus 20 reads as follows out of the King James Version.

'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.

14 " 'If a man marries both a woman and her mother, it is wicked. Both he and they must be burned in the fire, so that no wickedness will be among you.

15 " 'If a man has sexual relations with an animal, he must be put to death, and you must kill the animal.

16 " 'If a woman approaches an animal to have sexual relations with it, kill both the woman and the animal. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.

17 " 'If a man marries his sister, the daughter of either his father or his mother, and they have sexual relations, it is a disgrace. They must be cut off before the eyes of their people. He has dishonored his sister and will be held responsible.

18 " 'If a man lies with a woman during her monthly period and has sexual relations with her, he has exposed the source of her flow, and she has also uncovered it. Both of them must be cut off from their people.

19 " 'Do not have sexual relations with the sister of either your mother or your father, for that would dishonor a close relative; both of you would be held responsible.

20 " 'If a man sleeps with his aunt, he has dishonored his uncle. They will be held responsible; they will die childless.

21 " 'If a man marries his brother's wife, it is an act of impurity; he has dishonored his brother. They will be childless.

Answer 6

The best place to get a clear and powerful view of Gods purity and desire for our honoring of our bodies and minds and not degrading ourselves with such uncleanesses see the book of Romans chapter 1 verses 24 thru 32 .

and then everywhere, because everywhere there is reason and light, it exposes unreason and darkness,everywhere there is the straight line and path of virtue for our feet and understanding it exposes crookedness,perversion and backwardness.
The word of God is a lamp unto our feet a light unto our path, the law of the Lord is pure converting the soul, it is clean.
The word of God is the anti dote to all sexual immorality but you must choose will you love God, family, children, truth or unclean lust.

Answer 7

Keep in mind that the bible was written almost 2,000 years ago in a society completely different than ours. If you go by what the bible says on homosexuality then you should go by other things as well.
Read this example from a radio show:

Thank you for doing so much to educate people
>regarding God's Law. I have learned a great
>deal from your show, and I try to share that
>knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone
>tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply
>remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an
abomination.
>End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however,
>regarding some of the specific laws and how to follow them.
>
>a) When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a
>pleasing odour for the Lord (Lev. 1:9). The problem is my neighbours.
>They claim the odour is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
>
>b) I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in
>Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair
>price for her?
>
>c) I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in
>her period of menstrual uncleanliness (Lev. 15:19-24). The problem is,
how
>do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offence.
>
>d) Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and
>female, provided they are purchased from neighbouring nations. A
>friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans,
>but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?
>
>e) I have a neighbour who insists on working on the Sabbath.
>Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am
>I morally obligated to kill him myself?
>
>f) A friend of mine feels that even though
>eating shellfish is an abomination (Lev. 11:10), it is a lesser
>abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this?

>g) Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I

glasses.
>Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?

>h) Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair

>i) I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes
