where specificly inthe the bible does it say that it is a sin?

Question

for women to be lesbians

Answer 1

I'm looking at that Romans 1 now. I guess they mean this paragraph, which is explaining why God is filled with 'wrath':

Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.

It seems, according to me, that it says here that God _made_ lesbians, which is interesting...

In any case, the main reason why it says more about male homosexuality than female homosexuality is, of course, in the Bible's time women weren't all that important and worthy of discussion. So they merely couldn't be bothered...

Answer 2

The Bible in several places (Leviticus 20:7-21; Romans 1:26, 27; 1 Corinthians 6:9-11) speaks strongly against gay or lesbian sexual relationships--living an active homosexual lifestyle. This means that the biblical expectation is for those who believe they have a homosexual orientation to live a celibate life or to limit sexual activity to within a husband-and-wife marriage situation. This is true whether the homosexual person is a pastor or not, but as a pastor and leader of God’s people, obedience to His will is paramount.

Answer 3

1 Corinthians 6:9

Answer 4

No where -- it never mentions lesbians. It talks about non-marital sex and ritual sex, and the words have been mistranslated to mean homosexuals when they don't. There was NOT a word that meant homosexual back then.

The Book of Romans is certainly not an easy book to understand. It will never be understood by those who take passages out of context. This book deals with many subjects and Paul intertwines them in such a way that often we don't know what he is talking about. He "seems" to also change his mind from one chapter to another.

Another problem we have with Romans is our lack of understanding of the audience Paul is addressing. The Romans were saturated with the philosophies of Greece. Paul, while not listing all these philosophies, nevertheless, was refuting them with a very carefully-prepared letter. I can't get into all the philosophical systems the Roman mind was filled with, but Paul understood their systems and effectively handled them. In effect, he was saying all the systems, or methods of man, would fail in bringing righteousness to man, including the Law of Moses. "There is none righteous, nay not one." "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God." "In sin was I conceived."

Answer 5

There is nothing specifically about lesbians in the bible. This is because there is nothing wrong with lesbianism. It is totally natural. It is only man on man homosexuality that is weird and frowned upon

Answer 6

25 For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

26 For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural,

27and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.

Answer 7

I would start with the book of Genisis, where God created Adam and Eve, his helpmate. One male and one female to be with each other. Then further on in the same book it talks of Sodom and Gomorah being destroyed because of same sex relations. All over in the bible does it talk about men and women being husband and wife and not wife and wife, or husband and husband.

Answer 8

Romans Chapter One.

Answer 9

Romans 1:26-28 "Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion. Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done."
If you want to be a homosexual that's your business but don't try to drag God into it because he's made it clear that he doesn't want anything to do with these acts.

Answer 10

It actually doesn't. It only says it's a sin for men to lie with male prostitutes. But that doesn't make them gay.
