Homosexuality.

[fromtheriver]

I know this topic is very controversial, but can someone explain to me the bible scriptures in which explain how homosexuality is wrong?


I've been thinking about it over and over. And to see so many cases of teens killing themselves because of homosexuality, it's too sad so see it. It's a huge issue, and I really wish I can figure out if homosexuality even exist (since it's a sin then it must mean nobody is gay) and what is really means. To mean is it partially just sexual lust or actual feelings. I'm straight so I can't be all like "Oh I know! I know!" but it has been in my mind for quite awhile.

well I do not want to be rude here but there are plenty of threads already on this subject where you could have gotten what you seek , But while we ain't doing nothing else. let's start with Romans 1

Ro 1:26For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:Ro 1:27And 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 recompense of their error which was meet.Ro 1:28And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient





1co 6:9Know 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,1co 6:10Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall INHERIT the kingdom of God.

I hope this helps
Genesis 19:5-7

5 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.” [ Of or relating to the body or flesh; bodily: carnal remains ]
6 So Lot went out to them through the doorway, shut the door behind him, 7 and said, “Please, my brethren, do not do so wickedly!

Leviticus 18:22


22 "Don't have sex with a man as one does with a woman. That is abhorrent.
1 Corinthians 6:9


9-11Don't you realize that this is not the way to live? Unjust people who don't care about God will not be joining in his kingdom. Those who use and abuse each other, use and abuse sex, use and abuse the earth and everything in it, don't qualify as citizens in God's kingdom. A number of you know from experience what I'm talking about, for not so long ago you were on that list. Since then, you've been cleaned up and given a fresh start by Jesus, our Master, our Messiah, and by our God present in us, the Spirit.
Deuteronomy 23:17


17-18 No daughter of Israel is to become a sacred prostitute; and no son of Israel is to become a sacred prostitute. And don't bring the fee of a sacred whore or the earnings of a priest-pimp to the house of God, your God, to pay for any vow—they are both an abomination to God,
Job 36:14


14 They die in their youth,
among male prostitutes of the shrines. *** I'm sure you live in the same world as I...men are prostituted to men!

Leviticus 20:13


13 "If a man has sex with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is abhorrent. They must be put to death; they are responsible for their own deaths.

Again pracitced at Sodom:
Genesis 19:4-6


4-5 Before they went to bed men from all over the city of Sodom, young and old, descended on the house from all sides and boxed them in. They yelled to Lot, "Where are the men who are staying with you for the night? Bring them out so we can have our sport with them!"

I sincerely hope this helps you. GOD BLESS YOU!!! Suicide can be brought back to many factors other than homosexuality....I call it guilt.

Because it is sin does not mean people aren't gay. All that comes from an unrepentant person is sin, from the hearts of men come all these things, murders, hate, envy, lust, lies, abominations, the very nature of man is corrupt. So a person being gay is like saying a person is a liar, murderer, adulterer, etc. Now modern thought might say that what you do isn't the same as what you are, but the bible says that as a man thinks, so is he. That you produce what you are, you don't gather figs from thistles nor grapes from thornbushes.

Edit: Btw, your picture is upside down!

I can give you all the verses you need that states that homosexuality is a sin but others have done that in this thread and your other one about homosexuality. I will give you my testimony:

There is not a day that goes by that I don't have a gay thought. Now, I don't physically act on them or am attracted to girls, however, the thoughts still torment me. I have never had a boyfriend or any real close friends for that matter or a good father figure besides God. So that may be why these thought are plaguing me. Either way, they are very lustful thoughts which is that the real root of the problem.

Lust is just awful. It drills into the brain and heart and won't let go. It can lead your thoughts into every which way: opposite sex, same sex, even animals! Lust may come because of bad experiences, growing up with lust around you, loneliness, whatever the reason is it needs to be repented of. Run to Jesus when the thoughts come and don't look back. Pray and think of Him.

God won't take the temptations away. I will probably have to deal with lustful thoughts, which includes homosexual thoughts, my entire life but God is there. God said he will be with us when we walk through the valley of the shadow of death; he never said he would take us out of it. The closer I am with Christ the less lustful thoughts are tempting to me though they may come at me more often because satan sees any Christian who is close with Christ as a threat.

People are not born gay; people are born sinners. Homosexuality is a temptation that we choose to follow. Temptation is not a sin but following that temptation which leads to sin is. Jesus was tempted but never sinned. We choose to lie, steal, not follow God with all of our heart, mind and soul and yet we are incapable of not doing those things (sin in general).

Fleeing homosexual thoughts are hard for some people. I bet though that ALL people have faced homosexual temptations in the deepest perverted part of there mind. Some people are totally disgusted by it and don't think of it again, others sometimes keep going with those temptations and that is where the devil gets a foothold. It is the same way with any sin. Satan will get you with what ever temptation he can throw at you to get you to sin. With me, its lustful and homosexual thoughts, sometimes cussing, pride, hate, lying, and others I probably don't realize.

Every one sins, what matters if you have come to Jesus in repentance, believe that He is God, died on the cross and resurrected and is able to cleanse us of the ultimate consequences of our sins (hell) (sanctification too).

The point: everyone sins and is tempted with different things. We are all in the same boat. The question is: are we going to accept Salvation through Jesus or not?

I don't get it...you ask the same question in a thread you started in June 5th, 2009....with 7 pages and 130 replies why would you start another thread on the same topic?.....were you not satisfied with all the answers?....

homosexuality is one of the results of denying god, of worshiping those things which are created, rather than worshiping god who created all things.

what it amounts to is god, who is known in his creation by the very creation itself, giving those who refuse to acknowledge him, his existence, to these degrading lusts of the flesh.

many think that to acknowledge god is stupid, that it goes against intellectual thought, that it is unreasonable. but god has a way of dealing with this. he turns such a one over to demeaning lusts. in god's sight, not many things are more demeaning than homosexuality.

and still, one in this place can receive grace from the father, and be saved. this is part of the reason he does give them over, that they may be ashamed, and seek him. of course, many will not be ashamed, but rather glory in their debasement.

if we worship god in spirit and in truth, then we need not be concerned with these sins. there are enough sins for us to be concerned with.

blessings in his love,

You are supposed to wait until AFTER you get married to have sex:

But I say to you that every one who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. Matt 5:28 RSV

[20] And he said, "What comes out of a man is what defiles a man.
[21] For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, fornication, theft, murder, adultery,
[22] coveting, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, envy, slander, pride, foolishness.
[23] All these evil things come from within, and they defile a man." Mark 7:20-23 RSV

You will never find two men who want to marry each other who aren’t ALREADY having sex. What they should do is not marry, but stop having sex.
