Do you believe homosexuality is abomination?

Question

If not why?

Leviticus 18:22
Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.

Leviticus 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.

Romans 1
26For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27And 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.

Answer 1

absolutely i do. You forgot, Judges 19:22,23,Genesis 19:4,5,13,24,Jude 6-8,2 Peter 2:4-10,1 Corinthians 6:9,10, of course God is against homosexuality, otherwise, He wouldn't have warned against it so much in the bible.

Answer 3

Because you don't understand the scripture you just quoted.

The passages in Leviticus (18:22 and 20:13), understood IN THE CONTEXT of the time and place, are not an admonishment against loving sexual relationships between people of the same sex but instead against sex as a form of domination and control. Besides, these passages are part of the Holiness Code which is not binding to modern day Christians (or anyone else for that matter).

The words "physin" and "paraphysin" in Romans 1:26-27 have also been mistranslated. 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 particular 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 implies that it would be unnatural for heterosexuals to live as homosexuals and for homosexuals to live as heterosexuals.

Answer 4

Ahhhh... More selective Bible quoting!
Do you eat meat with dairy?
Do you go off on your own during your "unclean time", so that no one will touch you or anything that you touched or sat upon.
Do you have children? did you burn a lamb, or two turtles, or two pigeons after the appropriate time in which you remained in your birthing blood (8 days for a boy, 66 days for a girl).
When your children are unruly, do you stone them?
do you eat shellfish, pork, or any other unclean meats?
do you believe that a rapist should be imprisoned but the woman should be killed? Unless of course SHE was having her unclean moment! Then they are BOTH killed!

that is one sick book you are using to condemning your fellow man.

Answer 5

Bigotry is an abomination. Using your gods as an excuse to be a narrow-minded dope is an abomination. Obsessing about the private behavior of people you've never met, and are not likely to meet, is an abomination.
Live your own life and mind your own business.

Answer 6

No, because I don't think that something that happens naturally (in species other than humans) can be considered "unnatural".

I noticed you quoted Leviticus - when's the last time you put an adulterer to death (Lev 20:10) or killed someone who cursed at their parents (Lev 20:9) or done any of the blood offerings required in Lev 16?

Just askin'... I mean, it's not like you can PICK AND CHOOSE what parts of the Bible you follow, is it? It's ALL OR NOTHING, isn't it? I mean, you wouldn't be IGNORING some of your God's commandments, would you?

Answer 7

Yes I do! The Lord outright condems it and this was the very reason he destroyed the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah as the places there were over run by homosexuals. I see from the answers that you have received that as usual people will attempt to justify their behavior however it is clearly condemned by the Lord. People will always claim that its alright and we live in different times etc., BUT we can't update God as he has his standards and they don't change with the times. Man's values continue to deteriorate with the times however and Im convinced that aids is a form of judgement as man in his wisdom has not as yet been able to find a cure. It will be interesting to hear all the excuses offered to the Lord on the day of judgement however I won't be there as I will be at the judgement of the saved.

Answer 8

not at all, i think if your christian and you believe the bible then you should have some convictions in what it says but if you not christian then screw that. also the bible says nothing against lesbianism so i think its perfectly fine for a christian to be lesbian. I also think aalot of christians are far to selfrigteous, love the sinner hate the sin, God still loves you if your gay. Not by works of righteousness which we have done but according to his mercy he saved us.

Answer 9

It is an abomination to those that adhere to those Bible verses.

To those that do not adhere/believe in the Bible, it may not be so.

This country is not a "Christian" nation and so therefore our laws should not reflect a strictly "Christian" viewpoint.

Answer 10

What I, as a Christian Pastor, believe is of no consequence, it's what GOD thinks that matters.

Answer 11

I KNOW Homosexuality is a sin because GOD says it is.
God's inspired word which you so nicely quoted confirms this.

Romans 1:22-32
In verse 32 it is not only those that commit these acts but even those that find pleasure in them that do these things are commiting a sin.
