I knew it! Why can't anyone answer my previous question about being gay?

Question

Because there is no verse in the bible that says it is against God's faith! Can someone then tell me why everyone says it is?

I want an actual verse people!

Answer 1

In the new testament, none of the surviving speeches of Jesus speaks out against homosexuality. Of course we are dealing with second hand accounts, and surprising little of what He said on specific subjects is recorded (or survived the editing and approval stage).

Only one Apostle wrote out against homosexuality in a specific group and he does not back it with Jesus' disapproval only His own.

As for the old testament (whether or not that even counts to Christians):
Homosexuality is not a sin. Homosexual SEX is.

Specifically the Sodom and Gomorrah issue, when properly translated it says men should not rape other men. The implication through context is that it refers to men lying with young boy prostitutes.

Answer 2

The Bible consistently tells us that homosexual activity is a sin (Genesis 19:1-13; Leviticus 18:22; Romans 1:26-27; 1 Corinthians 6:9). Romans 1:26-27 teaches specifically that homosexuality is a result of denying and disobeying God. When a person continues in sin and disbelief, the Bible tells us that God “gives them over” to even more wicked and depraved sin in order to show them the futility and hopelessness of life apart from God. 1 Corinthians 6:9 proclaims that homosexual “offenders” will not inherit the kingdom of God.



God does not create a person with homosexual desires. The Bible tells us that a person becomes a homosexual because of sin (Romans 1:24-27), and ultimately because of their own choice. A person may be born with a greater susceptibility to homosexuality, just as people are born with a tendency to violence and other sins. That does not excuse the person choosing to sin by giving into their sinful desires. If a person is born with a greater susceptibility to anger / rage, does that make it right for then to give into those desires? Of course not! The same is true for homosexuality.



However, the Bible does not describe homosexuality as a “greater” sin than any other. All sin is offensive to God. Homosexuality is just one of the many things listed in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 that will keep a person from the kingdom of God. According to the Bible, God’s forgiveness is just as available to a homosexual as it is to an adulterer, idol worshipper, murderer, thief, etc. God also promises the strength for victory over sin, including homosexuality, to all those who will believe in Jesus Christ for their salvation (1 Corinthians 6:11; 2 Corinthians 5:17).

Answer 3

The Bible is hacked to shreds anyway, it's been edited over about 200,000 different times over how many centuries. Not accurate, and God's faith includes everyone! As a matter of fact, God blessed those who are gay with the ability to see life in a way that no hetero could. Learned that one from all my gay friends! :)

Answer 4

In Genesis 19:1-29 the cities of Sodom and Gommorah were destroyed because the people were so wicked. The men of the city wanted to have sex with other men. So God's judgement on the city was to destroy it by raining down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah.

Leviticus 18:22 (speaking to men in Israel) "Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable."

Leviticus 20:13 "If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads."

Romans 1:26-27 "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."

1 Corinthians 6:9 "Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexual offenders...will inhereit the kingdom of God."

1 Corinthians 6:13 "The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body."

1 Timothy 1:8-10 "We know that the law is good if one uses it properly. We also know that the law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers."

Answer 5

I think there are actually quite a few. Which is yet another reason why the Bible should not be used as a source of morals.

Answer 6

Leviticus 18:22, "You (masculine) should not lay with a man as a with a woman it is an abomination"Lev. 18:22 states the principle: You [masculine] shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination" (NRSV). The second (Lev. 20:13) adds the penalty: "If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall be put to death; their blood is upon them."

Answer 8

....then forget that garbage, that book is 5000 years old...and look at all the wars, violence and intolerance it's caused, along with the Koran. Don't worry about who you are, you're normal and shouldn't feel guilty over it. Just be happy and enjoy life.

Answer 9

If you read the Bible carefully, you will see that Sodom and Gammorah were destroyed in part because of sexual deviency, which most accept as homosexuality and/or beastiality.
