Homosexuality...

[icdchillin1]

Leviticus, 1 Corinthians, and numerous other books raise the issue of immoral acts and homosexuality depending on what? You see...I have come to a question of what the Bible says. Honestly, I will say that I believe it to be wrong, but my opinion need not matter. My question comes down to when the Bible regards "homosexuality," is the greek/hebrew word directly refering to "homosexuality," or does it merely mean to be quote unquote "soft?" Is there anyone online who can honestly say they have the background to answer this question? Furthermore, can I get any other scripture on where the Bible states that it is wrong? This is strictly scriptural. I do not want theology. Thank you.

God clearly defines marriage as one man and one woman for life.

Any sexual contact outside of one man and one woman who are in a covenant marriage relationship with each other and God is strictly forbidden.

I fully agree with you. When I posted this, I was having trouble in a debate. You see I understand the truth of God, but I need to know how to back it up. I have scripture. Others push me to go deeper. I know the will of the Lord on this issue. I was just hoping that I could get more support and evidence for my argument for future purposes.

I'm afraid I do not understand your question. If the Bible says it, then in a Bible-based argument, that ought to clear up any debate. If the discussion is not Bible-based, then no amount of Scripture quoting will do any good at all.

Is this something a Strong's Concordance would help with?

Hi icd,

In leviticus, it really doesnt mention the word homosexual, however, here is what it does say:

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 bloodguiltiness is upon them.

What part of this needs clearing up? As Dime has brought up though, any sex outside of marriage is sin. Now marriage is defined as that between a man and a woman.

I personally find that debates such as those on homosexuality are worthless, for they dont seem to go anywhere. You find people trying to justify their actions or beliefs through reasoning and not through the scriptures.

The scriptures clearly point out what constitutes marriage. Any sexual conduct outside of the marriage bed is just plain wrong and there is no justification for ones actions. Try not limiting your debate with those who try and justify homosexuality to just that, and you will have success in your points you bring to the table..

In Jesus

Likewise,

-----------------------------------------------------

Romans 1:20-32:

20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,

21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.

22 Professing to be wise, they became fools,

23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man--and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.

24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves,

25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature.

27 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.

28 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;

29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers,

30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful;

32 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.

---------------------------------------

Mix this with what Kevin quoted, and there's no room for all this "soft" interpretation those compromisers are trying to promote.

Thanks. I think the scripture from Romans may help.

Here are some other scriptures that indicate homosexuality is wrong.

What the Bible says from Old Testament to New Testament?

Including the battle of the mind.

Before we can look at this topic I think it is important to understand some definitions of words that are associated with homosexuality.

Hi. Here's a reply to answer the original question. This June I'll be graduating from the University of Nottingham, UK with a B.A. Honours Degree in Theology. As part of my course I did a 12000 word dissertation on 'How can Christian Theological Thought Support Homosexuals Today?'. The following information I have copied from this dissertation.

Leviticus 18.22 and 20.13.

Leviticus 18.22 and 20.13 say a man lying with another man as with a woman is an abomination. Truluck noted there is no hint of homosexuality or sexuality implied in these verses. Here
