All these people who pretend to be outraged by this obviously smartassed, unserious question, and scream things like "Whatever happened to responsibly reading the Bible! God said it's not OK for a man to FORNICATE with another man!! Ref: Leviticus!!!" are mere idiots, nothing more or less.
It never fails to amaze and amuse me the way morons will quote Leviticus whenever the gay sex "issue" comes up, but neglect to sacrifice oxen to Jehovah or to sell their children into slavery, and scandalously wear two kinds of fabric together and eat pork, because "The Good News of Jesus releases us from fidelity to Mosaic Law." So why indict gay people based on Leviticus? Ye hypocrites! In a pinch they bring up Paul's Letters, which come from the NT and which also attack sex - ALL sex - as "sinful" - although I can similarly find in Paul a hundred other injunctions which they choose to ignore while cherry-picking the anti-sex texts when it serves their need to hate and oppress an entire class of people.
Basically, I expect everybody who gives "Leviticus" as their "source" to shun menstruating women, to regularly offer bloody holocausts to Jehovah, and all the rest of it, or to shut the hell up about it.

The bible does not say it is wrong for a man to love another man. In fact, the bible says to love everybody!
It says it wrong for a man to love another man it that "sexual way."
Jesus loves you and expects you to love everyone as he does...
but he doesn't want you to be gay!
If he wanted two of the same sexes to love each other, and marry eachother then why would he have made two sexes instead of one?
And how would the world he created continue if there was no reproduction? In the case of two men or two women there would be none. Read the bible for yourself, and maybe you will understand.

As just about everyone has told you, Jesus loves you & me spiritually, as a matter of fact, he loved you enough to die for "just you". The only real peace anyone can find is in Jesus. Sure, you can have fun for a while, but that isn't peace. It is as simple as saying, Jesus, I have sinned, forgive me and help me. The best part is, He will listen if you speak from your heart and not just your mouth.
Oh yes, back to your question, are you familiar with story of "Sodom and Gomorrah"? You will find it in the Bible in the book of Genesis (first book in the Bible) chapter 19, particularly verses 4 thru 8
Your answer lies here.

The bible does not say that it is wrong for a man to love another man, in fact the bible commands that everybody should love everybody else, man women or children. Even enemies should be loved.
Jesus said, "My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no-one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends" (John 15:12-13).
"For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person - though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die - but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life" (Romans 5:6-10 ).
Jesus has set us the example, we are to love others as he has loved us, with self-sacrificing unselfish love.

The bible doesn't say that it is wrong to love another man. Clearly men love their fathers and brothers and best friends in a special way, but not a true love kind of way. We are to love Jesus/God as our Heavenly Father and Savior. Men are not to love other men in a sexual way because the bible is very clear about the sin of homosexuality.

The Bible does not say it wrong for a man to love another man.
The Bible says it is wrong for a man to lust after another man.
Love and lust are not the same thing. Jesus Christ revealed the principles of true love so that no one would be mistaken about this subject.
The love of Christ is pure as were His motives, desires and purposes. Christ does not lust after you.
Christ loves you so much that He wants to spend eternity with you and works to establish a relationship with you that has this as its ultimate aim.
Christ loves you even when you are unloveable.
Christ does not need physical pleasure with you in order to love you. Christ loves you even if you are physically incapacitated or physically unattractive.
Christ's love for you will lead to the harmonious development of your physical, mental and spiritual attributes; not the weakening of them.
Christ's love for you will inspire and encourage you to strive for moral excellence of character without any physical contact.
Human love may change but Christ's love knows no change.

because Jesus is not interested in you in a sexual way. it is not wrong for you to love another man. it is wrong in the condition that a man may not love another man in the way that would ever lead to anything like marriage or sexual activity of any kind.

The Bible quote is in Leviticus 20:13 :"If a man lays with another man, as with a woman, they are an abomination unto the Lord and their deaths shall be on their own heads." The trouble with English is there only seems to be one world for love. In Greek there are three: Eros, the physical love (sex) which is what the verse above is referring to; Philios, brotherly love - caring for your fellow human; and Agape, spiritual/sacrificial love, which is what Jesus has for you.

Pls when you read the bible make sure it's within the context.The bible means of love or loving is pure, not sexual by nature.What the bible condemns is sex that is between same gender.JESUS' love is pure, unconditional and perfect!JESUS died to pay for all our sins once and for all!And rose again to give us everlasting life!That's the greatest love!

The Bible does NOT say it's wrong for a man to love another man. The Bible says it's wrong for a man to FORNICATE with another man.
Leviticus 18:22.
