Christian Study - Homosexuality
|
Homosexuality
The
world tells us that homosexuality is "okay," that it is just
"an alternative lifestyle," that some people are "born that
way" and must practice homosexuality to be "true to
themselves." God, in the Bible, tells us that His view of
homosexuality is quite different. Homosexuality is a sin, and like all
sins will separate one from God.
Romans
1:24,26-28,32
|
Therefore
God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their
hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves....For this
reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women
exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise
also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in
their lust for one another, men with men committing what is
shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error
which was due. And even as they did not like to retain God in
their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those
things which are not fitting....who, knowing the righteous
judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving
of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who
practice them.

1
Corinthians 6:9,10
|
Do
you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of
God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor
adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor
covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will
inherit the kingdom of God.

Peter 2:4-10
|
For
if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to
hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved
for judgment; and did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah,
one of eight people, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the
flood on the world of the ungodly; and turning the cities of Sodom
and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making
them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly; and
delivered righteous Lot, who was oppressed by the filthy conduct
of the wicked (for that righteous man, dwelling among them,
tormented his righteous soul from day to day by seeing and hearing
their lawless deeds) -- then the Lord knows how to deliver the
godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under
punishment for the day of judgment, and especially those who walk
according to the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise
authority.
|
Jude
6-8
|
And
the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their
own abode, He [God] has reserved in everlasting chains under
darkness for the judgment of the great day; as Sodom and Gomorrah,
and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having
given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange
flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of
eternal fire. Likewise also these dreamers defile the flesh,
reject authority, and speak evil of dignitaries.

Genesis
19:4,5,13,24
|
Now
before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, both
old and young, all the people from every quarter, surrounded the
house. And they called to Lot and said to him, "Where are the
men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may know
them carnally."...[The angels said to Lot] "For we will
destroy this place, because the outcry against them has grown
great before the face of the LORD, and the LORD has sent us to
destroy it." ...Then the LORD rained brimstone and fire on
Sodom and Gomorrah, from the LORD out of the heavens.
|
Judges
19:22,23
|
As
they were enjoying themselves, suddenly certain men of the city,
perverted men, surrounded the house and beat on the door. They
spoke to the master of the house, the old man, saying, "Bring
out the man who came to your house, that we may know him
carnally!" But the man, the master of the house, went out to
them and said to them, "No, my brethren! I beg you, do not
act so wickedly! Seeing this man has come into my house, do not
commit this outrage.
