The Bible condemns homosexuality in no uncertain terms. Let’s take a look:
• Leviticus 18:22, “You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination.”
• Leviticus 20:13, “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 blood-guiltness is upon them.”
• 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, “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, 10 nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God.”
• Romans 1:26-28, “For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, 27 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. 28 And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper.”
Homosexuality is clearly condemned in the Bible. It undermines God’s created order when He made Adam and Eve, a man and a woman, to carry out his command to fill and subdue the earth (Genesis 1:28). Homosexuality violates the divine mandate. In addition, homosexuality undermines the basic family unit of husband and wife which is the God-ordained means of procreation.
Homosexuality is clearly an attack on the God-given institution of marriage. And, believe it or not, homosexuality is also dangerous to society. (Witness the fall of Greece, Rome and other empires in the past.)
Homosexuality faces the heavy wrath administered by God Himself upon those who commit it and support it.
“For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, 27 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,” (Romans 1:26-27).
As a result of being “given over,” they can no longer see the error of what they are doing, will not seek forgiveness, and will not repent. They will then die in their sins and endure God’s righteous condemnation in eternal hell-fire.
However, their rebellion against God does not stop there. Those who are judged by God this way, also promote it and condemn others who don’t approve of their behavior.
“…and, although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them” (Romans 1:32).
So, in their “hearty approval” of homosexuality, they encourage others to accept their practice and thus their sin and rebellion against God spreads. This means they clearly and deliberately reject Christ’s redemptive work on the cross. Without Jesus, they will have no forgiveness. Without forgiveness, they will have no salvation. Without salvation, there is only damnation in eternal hell.
