Answer 3

see Romans 1(v 26+27)
1 Timothy 1(10) and
Leviticus 18(v22)

Homosexuality is a sin, it's an abomination unto God, that's why Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed. Homosexuality is considered an acceptable practise by many in our world today-even by some churches, but society does not set the standards for Gods law. many homosexuals believe that their desires are normal. but God does not obligate nor encourage us to fulfil all of our desires. those desires that violate His laws must be controlled.

God can and will forgive sexual sins just as He forgives other sins. If you know the Word of God (Bible, Christ), and if you have a personal relationship with Him, you will know that homosexuality is most certainly a sin.

Answer 4

yes it does. it is in the new testement in Romans 12 or so and also in the old Testemant in Genesis after the flood. Lot and his family are visited by angels and the men in the town ask Lot to let them have the "men" to have thier way with them. After God says that is an abomination to the Lord. He destroys the town.

Answer 5

Romans chapter 1 read it all the way.<><

Answer 6

Romans 1: 24-27

"Therefore God gave them over in the desires of their hearts
to impurity, to dishonor their bodies among themselves. They
exchanged the truth of God for a lie and worshiped and
served the creation rather than the Creator, who is blessed
forever! Amen.
For this reason God gave them over to dishonorable passions.
For their women exchanged the natural sexual relations for
unnatural ones, and likewise the men also abandoned natural
relations with women and were inflamed in their passions for
one another. Men committed shameless acts with men and
received in themselves the due penalty for their error."

Though one could debate the sematics of it. If one believes that homosexuality is "natural sexual relations" then the passage would mean something else.

Answer 7

Yes in both Old and New Testaments Here are some of the verses
1Corinthians 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

Romans 1:18-32 too long to quote in full but verse 27 speaks to this especially "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."

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.

In Genesis 19 you can read about the destruction of Sodom and everyone in it because of this sin...verse 5 especially shows the men of that city demanding that Lot's male visitors be given to them to have sex with.

In addition there are many scriptures that show that fornication (sex before marriage wth either gender) and adultery (sex after marriage with either gender) are sins. If you would like to resarech this for yourself one good place to do that is www.blueletterbible.org

However we also need to understand that every human who ever lived except Jesus Christ jas sinned and that sin leads to eternal death and separation from God (see Romans 3:23 and Romns 6:23) for just 2 of the references on this. We can't fix our own sin. That is why Jesus came. To pay the full penalty for all our sin. (John 3:16 and 17) If we accept HIm we can become free from both the penalty of sin and from the influence of sin in our lives. In Jesus Christ we can have the power to overcome all the temptations to sin whatever sin it is. For more on this please see

Answer 8

Unfortunately, it does. In Romans 1:27, "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..."

Paul goes on in his letter to the Romans saying, "God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient" and comparing them to those who are "filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents..."

So according to the Bible, homosexuals are as bad as fornicators, murderers, haters of God and disobedient children!

On the other hand, if "God gave them over to " then isn't it God's fault if they "sin" and not theirs? What if God chose not to, and hadn't "given them over" to those things described as sin? Why would He do that?

So sadly, all those hateful, judgemental Christians who don't understand a thing about homosexuality but are so ready to condemn homosexuals, are Biblically justified in their homophobia.

Of course, it's "hate the sin, love the sinner" [so long as he converts and does as you want him to do].

Answer 9

yes. its somewhere in Isiah. but dont remember the chapter and verses

Answer 10

Because homosexuality is a sin. Come on now you people you are putting your penis in an area where you poop that is gross, Gays are fecalphiliac ( poop lovers). It is unnatural. That also goes out to hetrosexuals who do the same.

God's Wrath Against Mankind
18The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.
21For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.

24Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

26Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27In 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.

28Furthermore, 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. 29They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.

So go ahead call me hater and homophobe I then will call you hetrophobe.
