Where does it say in the bible that homosexuality is a sin? And is abortion mentioned in the bible?

Answer 1

1Corinthians 6:9 Don’t you know that evil people will not receive God’s kingdom? Don’t be fooled. Those who commit sexual sins will not receive the kingdom. Neither will those who worship statues of gods or commit adultery. Neither will men who are prostitutes or who commit homosexual acts. 10 Neither will thieves or those who always want more and more. Neither will those who are often drunk or tell lies or cheat. People who live like that will not receive God’s kingdom. 11 Some of you used to do those things. But your sins were washed away. You were made holy. You were made right with God. All of that was done in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

Some of you used to do those things… It is NOT PERMANENT!

Answer 2

The Bible clearly shows that God approves of abortion, and in many cases commands it:

The Bible approves of killing pregnant women: Genesis 38:24, Numbers 31:17

The Bible approves of abortion: 2 Kings 15:16

God approves of abortion: Hosea 13:15-16

People are not counted as persons until they are a month old: Numbers 3:15

The Bible contains directions on how to abort any pregnancy caused by adultery: Numbers 5:12-31

The Bible says that being aborted is better than living a bad life: Ecclesiastes 6:3-5, Matthew 26:24

The Bible says that a person becomes a living soul when he BREATHES the BREATH of life into his nostril (fetuses don't breathe): Genesis 2:7

Answer 3

I am not sure where it states it in the bible, but this is the basis of it. You can tell, especially with the patriarchs in Genesis and later tribes in other Old Testament books, that family and the survival of the future generation was crucial to the people of that time. In effect, they learned that with a man and a woman, this was possible, but two of the same gender could not produce children. This was looked down upon. Now, I'm not saying it is or isn't wrong, but that is the basis behind it. and....don't know about abortion in the bible.

Answer 4

The Web site ReligiousTolerance.org has some great discussions on homosexuality and the Bible (see link below). Some of it deals with the interpretation of Leviticus 18:22: "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination." According to the Web site, "abomination" may not be the best translation:

"Many would regard 'abomination,' 'enormous sin,' etc. as particularly poor translations of the original Hebrew word which really means 'ritually unclean' within an ancient Israelite era. The Greek Septuagint translation of the Hebrew Scriptures (circa 3rd century BCE) translated 'to'ebah' into Greek as 'bdelygma,' which meant ritual impurity. If the writer(s) of Leviticus had wished to refer to a moral violation, a sin, he would have used the Hebrew word 'zimah.'"

This makes sense, since much of Leviticus deals with things that are "ritually unclean." Among the other things considered an "abomination" according to Leviticus in the Bible: eating birds of prey, eating shellfish, cross breeding livestock, picking up sticks on a Saturday, planting a mixture of seeds in a field, and wearing clothing that is a blend of two textiles.

Answer 5

Sodom and Gomorrah. I am not agreeing but that is what it says. It also says, "All are equal unto the eyes of the Lord". I am not against gays. I think they're born that way and can do what they want, marry, adopt kids, get semen from David Crosby when you can have Brad Pitt, whatever...

Abortion wasn't even covered but I would endeavor to speculate that Jesus would have wanted people to treat life with respect which would not rule it out, but one should approach the issue with respect for the body and the spirituality of fertility. I am not against it and don't consider it murder, it is more about 'the body is a temple'. We need to allow it as an option and encourage more birth control.

It should be covered by medicare and pro-life harassment should be banned. Emergency contraception and free condoms are good ideas. It should be when you make a mistake or it just happens and not exist as a permanent, repeated form of birth control because the barslut cannot be bothered to use a rubber or a diaphragm...

Answer 6

Homosexuality--------------

Leviticus 18:22 “‘And you must not lie down with a male the same as you lie down with a woman. It is a detestable thing.

Abortion--------------------

Exodus 20:13 “You must not murder.
Exodus21:22 “And in case men should struggle with each other and they really hurt a pregnant woman and her children do come out but no fatal accident occurs, he is to have damages imposed upon him without fail according to what the owner of the woman may lay upon him; and he must give it through the justices. 23 But if a fatal accident should occur, then you must give soul for soul,

Answer 7

(1 Corinthians 6:9) What! Do YOU not know that unrighteous persons will not inherit God’s kingdom? Do not be misled. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men kept for unnatural purposes, nor men who lie with men,

(1 Timothy 1:10) fornicators, men who lie with males, kidnappers, liars, false swearers, and whatever other thing is in opposition to the healthful teaching

So now you know.

Answer 8

It does say it's "an abomination" (KJV)

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.

I don't have a problem with homosexuality, or abortion.

Answer 9

Ok who cares if it was in the bible or not..... It defies nature.... and I'm sick of hearing people say you are born gay..... You aren't born gay..... a baby doesn't just pop out of the womb and know it's gay.... children that young don't even know or understand the concept of sex and relationships.... it is something that is learned through experiences in life and the people you are surrounded by.... so if you are gay then blame your parents for your upbringing and the people they surrounded you with....

Answer 10

I believe it's mentioned in Exodus, when God is giving the laws to Moses. He says that "a man shall not lie with another man."

Also, people back then didn't have the means to have safe abortions, so it wasn't an issue. People were supposed to "be fruitful and multiply"...it's kinda hard to do that if you kill your children.
