Bible Question: My mother says there is a verse in the Bible about homosexuality.
I cannot find it.
Bible Answer: There are a number of verses in the Bible about homosexuality.
The term has been changed, and today our culture calls it being
"gay." But it does not matter what anyone calls it. God calls
it sin, and here is how God describes it,
| |
If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a
woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall
surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltiness is upon them. (NASB)
Leviticus 20:13 |
God says it is a sin when a male lies with a male. The same principle
holds when it is a woman with amnother woman. One Old Testament
verse,
| |
'You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is
an abomination. (NASB) Leviticus 18:22 |
Some teach that since Jesus did not condemn the woman caught in
adultery (John 8:1-11), He does not condemn homosexuality or lesbianism.
But that is not true. Listen to the New Testament,
| |
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. (NASB) Romans 1:26-27 |
The Holy Spirit wrote these words. These are words from God. The
Bible is also very straight forward and says unrepentant homosexuals
will not go to heaven,
| |
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, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers,
nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God. (NASB) 1 Cor.
6:9-10 |
That is being gay. God includes it together with "wickedness,
evil, envy, murder, . . .
