Homosexuality

 

 

 

GEN 19:1  The two angels arrived at Sodom in the evening, and Lot was

sitting in the gateway of the city. When he saw them, he got up to meet

them and bowed down with his face to the ground.

 

2  "My lords," he said, "please turn aside to your servant's house. You can

wash your feet and spend the night and then go on your way early in the

morning." "No," they answered, "we will spend the night in the square."

 

3  But he insisted so strongly that they did go with him and entered his

house. He prepared a meal for them, baking bread without yeast, and they

ate.

 

4  Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of

Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house.

 

5  They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring

them out to us so that we can have sex with them."

 

6  Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him

 

7  and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.

 

8  Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring

them out to you, and you can do what you like with them. But don't do

anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof."

 

9  "Get out of our way," they replied. And they said, "This fellow came

here as an alien, and now he wants to play the judge! We'll treat you worse

than them." They kept bringing pressure on Lot and moved forward to break

down the door.

 

10  But the men inside reached out and pulled Lot back into the house and

shut the door.

 

11  Then they struck the men who were at the door of the house, young and

old, with blindness so that they could not find the door.

 

12  The two men said to Lot, "Do you have anyone else here--sons-in-law,

sons or daughters, or anyone else in the city who belongs to you? Get them

out of here,

 

13  because we are going to destroy this place. The outcry to the LORD

against its people is so great that he has sent us to destroy it."

 

LEV 18:22  "'Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is

detestable.

 

29  "'Everyone who does any of these detestable things--such persons must

be cut off from their people.

 

20:13  "'If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them

have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will

be on their own heads.

 

ROM 1:26  Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their

women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones.

 

27  In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and

were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with

other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.

 

32  Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things

deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also

approve of those who practice them.

 

1CO 6:9  Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of

God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor

adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders

 

10  nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers

will inherit the kingdom of God.

 

11  And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were

sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by

the Spirit of our God.

 

1TI 1:8  We know that the law is good if one uses it properly.

 

9  We also know that law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers

and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious; for those

who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers,

 

10  for adulterers and perverts, for slave traders and liars and perjurers-

-and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine
