What Does the Bible Say About Homosexuality?

God created humans to engage in sex only within the arrangement of marriage between a male and a female. (Genesis 1:​27, 28; Leviticus 18:22; Proverbs 5:​18, 19)

The Bible condemns sexual activity that is not between a husband and wife, whether it is homosexual or heterosexual conduct. (1 Corinthians 6:​18) This includes intercourse, handling another person’s genitals, and engaging in oral or anal sex.

While the Bible disapproves of homosexual acts, it does not condone hatred of homosexuals or homophobia. Instead, Christians are directed to “respect everyone.”​—1 Peter 2:​17, Good News Translation.

Can a person be born homosexual?

The Bible doesn’t comment directly on the biology of homosexual desires, though it acknowledges that we are all born with a tendency to go against what God commands. (Romans 7:​21-​25)

Rather than focus on the cause of homosexual desires, however, the Bible prohibits homosexual acts.

How to please God despite having same-sex urges.

The Bible says: “Don’t be controlled by your body. Kill every desire for the wrong kind of sex.” (Colossians 3:5, Contemporary English Version) To kill wrong desires, which lead to wrong actions, you need to control your thinking. If you regularly fill your mind with wholesome thoughts, you can more readily dismiss wrong desires. (Philippians 4:8; James 1:​14, 15)

While you may struggle greatly at first, it can become easier. God promises to help you to “be made new in the force actuating your mind.”​—Ephesians 4:​22-​24.

The same struggle is faced by millions with heterosexual desires who wish to conform to the Bible’s standards. For example, those who are single with little prospect of marriage or who are married to a partner who is unable to function sexually choose to control their sexual urges despite any temptations they might face. They are able to live happily, and those with same-sex urges can do so as well if they truly want to please God.​—Deuteronomy 30:19.

This is what the Bible says about Homosexuality

The Bible says it is an abomination

Leviticus 18:22 KJV
Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.

Romans 1:27 KJV
[27] And 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 recompence of their error which was meet.

It's a grievous sin. By that I mean, the aberration of the natural law.

I observed from the ops pattern of writing, Jehovah's Witnesses read the Bible as literature and interpret the contents as playbooks.

Homosexuality is nothing but a sexual orientation, an attraction.

A child is born, and upon hitting puberty, discovers that he or she is attracted to the same gender.

Confused at first, they wondered why they had no romantic attraction to the opposite gender.

They feel differently, and without a support system they end up isolating themselves, trying to figure out the hows and whys.

They never created themselves, nor do they have control over this attraction.

But homophobia, propagated by religion, leads them to hate themselves, to the extent of suffering from internalised homophobia.

This is when a homosexual fight and bullies other homosexuals to avoid suspicion.

And they can be very convincing.

In nature, we have counted over 1500 species that engage in homosexuality.

Unfortunately, homophobia exists in one, humans.

The beauty of life lies in our differences. You can't hate someone because of his race, beliefs or sexuality.

Live and let live. Love is love. God, the Universe, nature.

Whatever we choose to call it, we are all at their mercy.

Love is love.

Homosexuality is a sin...
God will judge all of our deeds on earth.

Good and bad deeds..

Why should a person choose to be a homosexual.
That's craziness.

Ask Sodom and Gomorrah

Its a curse, that one of the reasons why God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah

homosexuality is immoral and sin against God

A homosexual and the person that picked the six hundred & fifty Naira that fell out of my pocket yesternight are both going to the same hell. 😌

Thunder fire all homosexuals.

I wonder how the whites will preach about it , since God is against it , it seems they'll do another bible to fit in their homosexuality acts .

Nigerians are taking over from the whites , the act is spreading like a wildfire.

Whatever we choose to call it, made me gay, and I couldn't be more proud.

You do realize you are in a religious thread right? Everything they believe in is an opposition to science so you are just wasting your time here as they go with their "holy book"
