Quotes from the bible about homosexuality

Homosexuality is rejected in a number of places in the Bible.

Examples:

• Genesis “Before they could lie down, the men of the municipality, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, from boy to old man, all the people in one assembly. (5) And they kept calling. to Lot and say to him, "Where are the men who own come to you tonight? Transport them out to us, that we may have fellowship with them." (6) Finally Lot went out to them to the entrance. but he shut the door behind him. (7) Then he said, "Please, my brethren, do not act wickedly. (8) Please, see, I have two daughters who have never had intercourse with a man. Please bring them out to you. Then do with them what is right in your eyes.

  Leviticus

  “You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.”[1] It is not a surprise that this verse seems to say that gay male sex is forbidden in the eyes of God. The dominant view of western Christianity forbids gay relations. This verse is one of the clobber passages that people cite from the Bible to condemn homosexuality. This essay first looks at the various ways the verse is translated into the English Bible and then explores some of the strategies used to create an affirming interpretation of what this corridor means for the LGBTQ community. More specifically, it presents the interpretation of K. Renato Lings in which Lev. refers to male-on-male incest.

  While Lev. is used to condemn homosexuality, we must realize that the term “homosexuality” was only recently coined in the English language. So did this term endure in ancient Israel? Charles D. Myers, Jr. confirms that none of the prophets in the Hebrew Bible state homosexuality.[2] He also contends that in ancient Israel gay relations were viewed as an ancient Near East difficulty.

  The Bible on Homosexual Behavior

  One way to argue against these passages is to make what I contact the “shellfish objection.” Keith Sharpe puts it this way: “Until Christian fundamentalists boycott shellfish restaurants, halt wearing poly-cotton T-shirts, and stone to death their wayward offspring, there is no obligation to attend to their diatribes about homosexuality being a sin” (The Gay Gospels, 21).

  In other words, if we can disregard rules prefer the ban on eating shellfish in Leviticus , then we should be allowed to disobey other prohibitions from the Vintage Testament. But this argument confuses the Old Testament’s temporary ceremonial laws with its permanent moral laws.

  I recall two rules my mom gave me when I was young: hold her hand when I cross the street and don’t drink what’s under the sink. Today, I own to follow only the latter rule, since the former is no longer needed to protect me. In fact, it would now do me more harm than good.

  Old Testament ritual/ceremonial laws were prefer mom’s handholding rule. The rea

  What does the New Testament say about homosexuality?

  Answer

  
  
  The Bible is consistent through both Old and New Testaments in confirming that homosexuality is sin (Genesis –13; Leviticus ; ; Romans –27; 1 Corinthians ; 1 Timothy ; Jude ). In this matter, the New Testament reinforces what the Old Testament had declared since the Law was given to Moses (Leviticus ). The difference between the Antique and New Testaments is that the New Testament offers hope and restoration to those caught up in the sin of homosexualitythrough the redeeming influence of Jesus. It is the same hope that is offered to anyone who chooses to embrace it (John ; –18).
  
  
  God’s standards of holiness did not change with the coming of Jesus, because God does not alter (Malachi ; Hebrews ). The New Testament is a continuing revelation of God’s interaction with humanity. God hated idolatry in the Old Testament (Deuteronomy ), and He still hates it in the New (1 John ). What was immoral in the Old Testament is still immoral in the New.
  
  The New Testament says that homosexuality is a “shameful lust” (Rom
