It doesn't matter if it says it 100 times in that book, it's fiction. You are better than ANYONE who would ever judge you

A GROWING number of people accept homosexuality as just an alternative life-style. Does God agree?

While many people have changed their view and others are undecided, the Bible’s viewpoint is crystal clear: “You will not have intercourse with a man as you would with a woman. This is a hateful thing,” states the Bible. (Leviticus 18:22, The New Jerusalem Bible) No apologies, no concessions, no ambiguity—homosexuality is detestable in God’s sight. For ancient Israelites living under the Mosaic Law, the penalty was death. (Leviticus 20:13) And with the advent of Christianity, God’s condemnation of homosexuality continued.—1 Corinthians 6:9, 10.

Romans 1:26-32
Note, homosexuality is called not only “disgraceful,” “obscene,” and “not fitting” but also “contrary to nature.” Regarding these verses, a report from the Church of England says: “What Paul means by ‘unnatural’ is ‘unnatural’ to mankind in God’s creation pattern. All homosexual behaviour is a divergence from God’s creation scheme.”

Homosexuality has been around since the begging of time, I was freely practiced until Christianity started the ball rolling, Not just on homosexuality but prostitution, They used to have brothel's for there priest, I think if they still did there wouldn't be so many child molesters in the church, or let them marry, but I'm getting of the subject, sorry.

It doesn't babe. I actually did a debate in on of my college classes on the issue of homosexuality in the black church. I won my arguement. Basically, I'll put it to you like this..the bible "states" alot of things that people do not do. For example, in the Bible, slavery is acceptable, polygamy is the norm. Now, people are always calling about Sodom and Gomorrah as their main source when it comes to homosexuality. But I'll put it to you like this. *below is a source from wiki*

In Genesis 19:4-5, the final episode in the story of Sodom is described as the angels visit Lot to warn him to flee:

4. When they had not yet retired, and the people of the city, the people of Sodom, surrounded the house, both young and old, the entire populace from every end[of the city].
5. And they called to Lot and said to him, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us, and let us be intimate with them." (Judaica Press.)

Lot refused to give the visiting angels to the men of Sodom, instead he offered them his two daughters but the men refused. The men were struck with blindness, allowing Lot and his family, who were then instructed to leave the city, to escape. Then Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed with fire and brimstone by God.

Now, look at it like this. If this city was living in sin the way people portray it to have been, then how would they be able to make children? To have children, a man and woman need to have sex together to make the child. So this "city" could not be full of homosexuals you get what I'm saying.

LOL listen, I could go on and on on this topic all day long. Hell, I got an "A" in my class because of my research on this very topic. All I can say is continue to do you and God will always look out for you. He loves all of his children. Remember that!

Geez, I'm going to have to keep a file of all the scriptures and then just copy and paste it every time someone asks this. But this time, instead of finding all the scriptures for you, I'm going to encourage you to do your own research. Don't look for commentary or opinion, just look for scriptures. By the way, God doesn't tell us anything that he has already stated in his word. Who are you that he should have to repeat himself to you!?
Also, it doesn't start in Romans, but way back in Leviticus!

Whether it's written in a book or not, it is written in the Nature of our Creation, or Being.

For a woman to lay with a woman, as with a Man; or for a Man to lay with a Man, as with a woman; is against the nature of our Being, or Creation.

Many places, primarily in the Old Testament, but also here and there in the New. I'll leave it to the others here to point them out, as I am sure they will.

If you follow the teachings of Christ, however, you will find that he never spoke on the subject of homosexuality at all.

1 Corinthians 6: 9-20

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 (10) nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. (11) And that is what some of you were.But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. (12) "Everything is permissible for me"---but not everything is beneficial. " Everything is permissible for me"---but I will not be mastered by anything. (13) " Food for the stomach and the stomach for food"--- but God will destroy them both. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. (14) By his power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise us also. (15) Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself? Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never! (16) Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, " The two will become one flesh." (17) But he who unites himself with the Lord is one with him in spirit.
(18) Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body. (19) Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have recieved from God? You are not your own; (20) you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.

...."even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
And 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."
Romans 1:26,27
