Answer 1

Yes, but only if they're both hot.

Answer 2

The Bible consistently tells us that homosexual activity is a sin (Genesis 19:1-13; Leviticus 18:22; Romans 1:26-27; 1 Corinthians 6:9). Romans 1:26-27 teaches specifically that homosexuality is a result of denying and disobeying God. When a person continues in sin and disbelief, the Bible tells us that God “gives them over” to even more wicked and depraved sin in order to show them the futility and hopelessness of life apart from God. 1 Corinthians 6:9 proclaims that homosexual “offenders” will not inherit the kingdom of God.

God does not make mistakes. God does not create a person with homosexual desires. The Bible tells us that a person becomes a homosexual because of sin (Romans 1:24-27), and ultimately because of their own choice. A person may be born with a greater susceptibility to homosexuality, just as people are born with a tendency to violence and other sins. That does not excuse the person choosing to sin by giving into their sinful desires. If a person is born with a greater susceptibility to anger / rage, does that make it right for then to give into those desires? Of course not! The same is true for homosexuality.

Homosexuality is called an abomination in Scripture. However, the Bible does not describe homosexuality as a “greater” sin than any other. All sin is offensive to God. Homosexuality is just one of the many things listed in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 that will keep a person from the kingdom of God. According to the Bible, God’s forgiveness is just as available to a homosexual as it is to an adulterer, idol worshipper, murderer, thief, etc. God also promises the strength for victory over sin, including homosexuality, to all those who will believe in Jesus Christ for their salvation (1 Corinthians 6:11; 2 Corinthians 5:17).

Answer 3

Yes, it is mentioned here
Romans 1:24-27 KJV
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves;

Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen

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 recompense of their error which was meet(due).

Verses 21 and 22 of Isaiah 1 say:NISB
For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

Professing to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures.

And verse 28
And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper.

Yes Lesbians are in the Bible.

Answer 4

Okay, your not going to like me. In the bible, many times references are made of Sodom and Gomorrah. Usually things like, "it would have been better for them to have perished like unto Sodom and Gomorrah than for what shall be done unto them" and the like. That is because Sodom and Gomorrah had nothing but male and female homosexuals, thieves, robbers, rapists, murderers and whatnot. Basically, a really big city of nothing but "sinners" and "immoral peoples". Read your bible. Many times in the old testament and even the new testament, it is very clear about homosexuality. Whether it is two guys or two gals living "immorally", the bible(or more specifically G-D) states that this activity is verboten to the max!!! As much as people world wide would like to be able to find some evidence to the contrary, the bible is very specific about homosexual relationships. In other words, "Don't' Go There!'' Heck, a guy named Onan got smited(struck down, slain, life was taken, etc.) for just yanking off rather than get his wife pregnant. Of course, there's more to the story than just that, but I think you get the idea.

Answer 5

Dear T,

Please see Romans 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;"

The nest verse goes into the sin of homosexuality. This is talking about the days before the end of the world-today.

Answer 6

I've read what rabbinic scholars said about that. (And it IS THEIR book, not the Christian's.) They say that their Torah prohibits only male homosexuality. The reason for this is the need for procreation. Ancient Israel was surrounded by hostile countries, and any man who was gay was out of the breeding population. But at the time, every woman had to be married just for survival, so she'd be part of the breeding population and it wouldn't matter if she took a lesbian lover on the side.

It is only the New Testament that opposes both male and female homosexuality, but this is only the Apostle Paul giving his personal opinion, as he often does, so we need not listen to what he says.

Answer 7

The apostle Paul was inspired to describe homosexual acts as expressions of “disgraceful sexual appetites” and as “contrary to nature.” He writes: “That is why God gave them up to disgraceful sexual appetites, for both their females changed the natural use of themselves into one contrary to nature; and likewise even the males left the natural use of the female and became violently inflamed in their lust toward one another, males with males, working what is obscene and receiving in themselves the full recompense, which was due for their error. And just as they did not approve of holding God in accurate knowledge, God gave them up to a disapproved mental state, to do the things not fitting.”

The Bible does not call particular attention to homosexuals as a group to be ostracized or hated by Christians. Moreover, it does not teach that God will punish homosexuals or any of his creatures, by burning them in a fiery hell forever.

However, the Scriptures do set forth the moral standards of our Creator, which oftentimes run counter to modern-day mores. Homosexual acts, heterosexual sex between unmarried persons, and bestiality are all condemned in the Bible. (Exodus 22:19; Ephesians 5:3-5) God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah because of such sexual practices.

Regarding acts of homosexuality, God’s Word pointedly says: “This is a hateful thing.” (Leviticus 18:22, The New Jerusalem Bible) God’s Law to Israel stipulated: “When a man lies down with a male the same as one lies down with a woman, both of them have done a detestable thing. They should be put to death without fail.” (Leviticus 20:13) The same punishment was prescribed for those committing bestiality, incest, and adultery.

The Scriptures offer no apologies, no concessions, no ambiguity; homosexual practices, adultery, fornication, are all repulsive in God’s sight. Accordingly, true Christians do not water down the Bible’s position on “disgraceful sexual appetites” merely to become more popular or more acceptable to modern culture. Nor do they agree with any movement dedicated to the promotion of homosexuality as a normal life-style.

When religious leaders campaign for the ordination of homosexuals and Lesbians, what effect does this have on members of their churches, especially the young people? Is it not an inducement to experiment with sex outside marriage? In contrast, God’s Word urges Christians to “flee from fornication.” (1 Corinthians 6:18) If a fellow believer falls into such sin, loving help is given with a view to restoring the person to God’s favor. (James 5:16, 19, 20) What if this help is rejected? The Bible states that unless such ones repent, they ‘will not inherit God’s kingdom.

Answer 8

Yes. The bible only speaks out against homosexual MEN.

On the other hand, ***God is perfect*** that's why He allows lesbianism, particularly when they are both femme lesbians and very beautiful.

Answer 9

No, if you read Romans 1:26 it says That is why God gave them up to disgraceful sexual appetites, for BOTH their FEMALES changed the NATURAL USE of themselves into one CONTRARY to NATURE; and likewise even the MALES LEFT the NATURAL USE of the FEMALE and became violently inflamed in their lust toward one another, males with males, working what is OBSCENE and receiving in themselves the full recompense, which was due for their ERROR., So you can see that women left the natural use of themselves which is by men to one contrary to nature, otherwise women with women which is obscene, and they will be punished for their error. I capitalized some words for emphasis.

Answer 10

No. If the Bible says in Leviticus that men cannot sleep with a man in the same manner that a man sleeps w/ a woman, then God must mean the same for women.

Answer 11

the Word of God speak about truth no lies man lies God do not
