1 Corinthians 6:9 "Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals"
Romans 1:26-27 "For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and 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."
But we are to treat gay people kindly,because all sin is bad,and we are still sinners ourselves.

Bullying is not in any respect ok. you adore who you adore. as long as you at the on the spot are not harming all and sundry, and that's consentual then no longer something else concerns. non secular texts like the bible were written by technique of guy. guy makes blunders. The Bible case in point has variations. that's been edited and adjusted and translated one of those number of situations. different variations say quite some issues. also, there is no position in the Bible the position Jesus says something about homosexuals. 'choose no longer lest the be judged'. So all and sundry who says "God created Adam and Eve, no longer Adam is sinning because they have handed judgement.

The penalty for homosexual acts is death to both parties. They have committed a detestable act, and are guilty of a capital offense. - Leviticus 20.13
of course, the argument is that this passage is OT, so it is not applicable, since the dispensation of Grace is now in effect and the Law has been fulfilled by Christ.
That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other. And the men, instead of having normal sexual relations with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men, and as a result of this sin, they suffered within themselves the penalty they deserved. romans 1.26-27
that doesn't sound like condoning anything, the behavior is also condemned in the New Testament
all scripture is from the New Living Translation.

God’s View and what the apostle Paul said.
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 apostle Paul was inspired to describe homosexual acts as expressions of “disgraceful sexual appetites” and as “contrary to nature.” At Romans 1:26-28, 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 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.

"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." Romans 1:26-27. (New International Version).
"Homosexuality is absolutely forbidden, for it is an enormous sin." Leviticus 18:22, (The Living Bible)

There are many but Romans Chapter 1 is always the first one that comes to my mind cause it gives the reason ppl are cursed with homosexuality also. And I believe the curse could have come because their parents did the thngs listed in Romans one that causes homosexualtiy.

in the same book to which all these righteous people are calling your attention is their possible condemnation.
Leviticus 20:18 And if a man shall lie with a woman having her
sickness, and shall uncover her nakedness; he hath discovered
her fountain, and she hath uncovered the fountain of her blood:
and both of them shall be cut off from among their people.
