Was homosexuality mentioned in the bible?

Question

What exactly does God have to say about it?
No it is not obvious to me because I have never read it so I wouldn’t know

Answer 1

Yes it does..
"So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them."
—Genesis 1:27 (NKJV)

"And the LORD God said, 'It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him.' Out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name. So Adam gave names to all cattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper comparable to him. And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. Then the rib which the LORD God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. And Adam said: 'This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.' Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed."
If God had intended the human race to be fulfilled through both heterosexual and homosexual marriage, He would have designed our bodies to allow reproduction through both means and made both means of sexual intercourse healthy and natural. Homosexual anal intercourse carries a high risk of disease, this is recognized in Scripture where gay men are said to receive in their bodies the due penalty for their error (Romans 1:27).
Various studies indicate that homosexual behavior makes both men and women more vulnerable to disease and decreases lifespan.


"And He answered and said to them, 'Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning 'made them male and female,'"
—Matthew 19:4 (NKJV)

"But from the beginning of the creation, God 'made them male and female.'"
—Mark 10:6 (NKJV)

When Jesus was asked questions about marriage he went straight back to the defining passages in Genesis that say that marriage is between male and female and is meant to be life long. He saw the creation accounts in Genesis as authoritative in His day. And what is authoritative for Jesus is authoritative for Christians also. While Jesus did not specifically teach on homosexuality, His establishment of the Genesis passages as the fundamental passages on marriage (even more fundamental than the Law) leaves no doubt as to the outcome.

Answer 2

It does point out that homosexuality is an abomination to God. no longer the gay. it rather is in simple terms like me as a heterosexual, i'm commanded interior the Bible to no longer have intercourse exterior of marriage, which might make me a fornicator and is a sin in God's eyes. Being attracted a member of the comparable intercourse isn't the sin, it quite is once you have the act of intercourse with that guy or woman. all of us have a sexchronic, we are instructed in Scripture what to do with that, and regrettably for the gay, they can't have intercourse with somebody with the comparable intercourse, yet God needs them to do something else with their life. Any intercourse exterior of God's instructions is a sin and one should not be seen as worse than the different. The adulterer, fornicator, gay all have sinned whilst they bypass exterior of God's plan. God has commanded us to love each human beings and that's the place lots of the Christian church has failed Him, via no longer showing homosexuals love yet condemning them. they are in simple terms like each sinners and would repent of their sin and enhance into His follower, which countless homosexuals have performed.

Answer 3

God did not, physically write the Bible, although many believe God directly inspired it.
However, the Bible is filled with rules that no one thinks are reasonable in today's world. For example, that consistently disobedient or disrespectful children may be killed if they are unruly enough. Or that witches should be killed upon discovery.
The rules are either equally valid or equally invalid - you can't just pick and choose. So, if "a man who lays with another man" should be killed, so should blasphemers, adulterers, etc. Assuming of course, that you feel there is literal transcription of God's word to be found here. I am not saying it is or it is not.

I suggest you search your heart. Think of all of the fine and wondrous people in the world. Many of them are gay. It doesn't make them any less fine or wondrous.
Most Xians believe that the highest of God's laws is to love one another. If you live your life by that principal (IMO) you can't go wrong.

Answer 4

Yes it does! It is mentioned in the story of the prophet Lot. Its also mentioned in the Quran. The people of Sodom had practiced homosexuality. Lot had proposed to the men to marry his daughters instead, but they refused. As a punishment, God sent down angels to flip the city upside down. The city is in present day Deep Sea, which is probably caused by the flipping of the city and slammed in the ground at a huge force. So basically, homosexuality is wrong. And no people arent born that way, otherwise God wouldnt punish them.

Answer 5

It is mentioned in the bible. God says it is a sin, just like any other, no worse than pride or greed. Which doesn't make it okay, that just means that Jesus took care of it on the cross. His blood covered it. I am committed to loving the homosexual community. And I HATE it when some conservative christians get hung up on certain sins of others. Really we are called to love people.

Answer 6

Then don't ask for some persons opinion! You can be deceived by people. Take the word of God as fact and if you know it no one can deceive you! So you are at a disadvantage, I suggest you read! "Do not lay with a man as you would with a woman" is stated as an abomination. Read. And if you want to throw it all out--then throw out about not having sex with animals too! And throw out anything you might have an urge to do! Just keep whitteling away and soon you will be an "ABOMINATION". Just where do you propose to draw the line? If this is OK and thats OK how dare you imprision people for crimes againgest nature?

Answer 7

Read the Bible

Answer 8

Yeah it says man must not lie with man as he does with woman or some such thing - oh yeah - Leviticus is also the chapter that tells all women to sacrifice two pigeons eight days after their period so if you believe one surely you must believe the other? If not about the sacrificing (the whole Jesus as final sacrifice blah blah) then about the fact that you are unlcean :) thought for the day

Answer 9

Leviticus 20:13"A man lies down with a male, the same as one lies down with a woman both of them have done a detestable things............and in 1 Corinthians 6:9,10 says that those doing or practising such things will not inherit Gods kingdom! see also Romans 1:24,26,27,32...

Answer 10

It's listed under a long list of perversions that are considered sins.

It is also addressed individually in either Numbers of Leviticus or one of the other "rule-y" books in the beginning of the Bible.

The Bible clearly addresses it as a "no."

However, Christians should not hate homosexuals or shun them or tell them how bad they are.

The more important lesson in the Bible is to love on them, and respect them and help them overcome it, and they're not interested, love them anyways.

"Christian" is a muchj better adjective than noun.

Answer 11

Aparently there was no Hebrew word for Homosexual - and I've seen most of the same "Anti-gay" passages used to support Homosexuals.
