Where in the bible does it say being gay is a sin?

I never found anything in there about it. I was just wondering where it was. I think that love is love!

Answer #1

Don’t get it twisted. The Bible has numerous references to homosexuality being an abomination to God. God’s first example of wanting a man and woman to be together is Adam and Eve. Wouldn’t it have been a greater help if God had created another man to help Adam? Maybe but because God knew woman had something that another man could not offer another man he created woman. And I am speaking outside of sex. Have you ever heard opposites attract. A man is usually more stern where as a woman is compassionate. If you really think about it the main reason people are homosexual is because of a physical lustful attraction. If you were to take the sex part out what would be left, just a friendship between two men or two women. I am not saying this is the only reason a person is a homosexual, but I think this is a big reason. If God had meant for two men or women to be together he would have created us that way. Are you going to go to a tool box and pick up two bolts and try to put them together? They aren’t going to fit. Just so, you aren’t going to put to nuts together; they aren’t going to fit. God never intended for them too and the same applies to human. God has an order for everything and we as his children should do all we can to walk in it. For those who have fallen by the wayside into homosexuality, His arms are open wide to accept you. You may think you can never come out of this, but you can, with humble pray and the studying of his word. He can and will cleanse you.

Kevinmm has a great point. Okay, I have read the bible and read all of the afformentioned passages, and the bible does not say being gay is a sin, it says that practicing being gay is a sin first of all. Second of all, there is a loophole. Remember Jesus, the one who said let him who is sinless cast the first stone? Well, the point is none of us are sinless, and we all need forgiveness no matter what our sexual orientation.

Answer #3

Here we go again.

I’m not a Christian, but I do know the basics of the religion.

If you have a relationship with God, then he’s the only one who can tell you what is a sin and what isn’t. It’d be nice if the Bible was a direct link to God, but it’s been edited and reprinted and edited again by humans. Since humans are all sinners and come short of the glory of God, then their reprinted bibles fall short as well, since nothing we do is perfect in the eyes of the Lord.

So really, it’s up to you to gauge if God thinks it is a sin. Also keep in mind a few things. One is that Jesus said that whoever believes in him and has faith is forgiven, so even if being gay is a sin, if you want him to save you he will. Another thing is that just because some other Christians say that God thinks homosexuality is a sin, doesn’t mean that it is. Again, theses are imperfect people reading imperfect bibles.

Answer #4

its a new thing things like gay people and birth control werent known about when man first wrote the bible now christians have come up with a whole bunch of other stupid “sins” being gay doesnt make you any less human but avvording to the “bible” it does its probably better to make up your own mind than follow some book

Answer #5

There’s also a passage in Romans that refers to homosexuality. But I can’t imagine why people take the ramblings of lunatic ancient cult leaders seriously thousands of years after those men have been consumed by worms.

Answer #6

Well I personally agree love is love. But if your guna get in the bible. The city of sauda minka mora (not spelled correct) was destroyed due to homosexuality practices.

Answer #7

If you want exact passages, Leviticus 18:22, Leviticus 20:13, Genesis 19, I Corinthians 6:9, 1 Timothy 1:9-10:…

but the bible also says slavery is ok, slaves can be struck, women who have had sex should be stoned to death, and women shouldn’t talk in church… And for the inevitable argument, here are the passages… Exodus 21: vs 2-6, Ephesians 6:5, Colossians 3:22, Titus 2:9, 1 Peter 2:18, Exodus 21:20-21, 1 Corinthians 14:34, Deuteronomy 22:20,21

so…

yeah, I say what difference does it make to anyone else who people choose to love!

Answer #8

Yes and ofcourse Romans 1:26-27

Answer #9

Sodom and Gomorrah was judge by GOD for the evil and peverted life style.GOD say’s that man&man,woman&woman is ABOMINATION.We as christians don’t hate the person or person in this life style.We hate the sin.

Answer #10

Exodus 20:14,17 and Matthew 5:27-30 (Orientation is not relevant, lust is lust, be it for a woman or another man!)

Answer #11

listen.the only way anyone can understand the bible is if GOD revials the work to you.anyone can read the bible and give their own say.if you truely repent(turning away from sin)and acknowledge and confess you’re a sinner only then can GOD REVEAL his words.GOD is the same as he was then and he’s the same.GOD is LOVE,REDEMPTION,FORGIVING BUT HES also a GOD of JUDGEMENT(DEATH),CORRECTION ETC.you see most pastor’s or deacons etc. won’t preach on sin cause it offends people but if you read you word as GOD reveals it to you (meaning have a open mine)you’ll see that.GOD DIDN’T CREATE HOMOSEXUALITY. BY THE WAY GOD LOVES EVERYONE(SO DO A TRUE CHRISTIAN)THE SIN HE HATES. GET IT RIGHT.

Answer #12

IF YOU READ (VINES CONCISE DICTIONARY OF THE BIBLE THE GREEK AND HEBREW MEANING)THEN PEOPLE CAN SAY THEY UNDERSTAND SOME OF THE BIBLE.WHEN THE WORDS ARE USE DEPENDING ON THE SITUATION IT HAS A DIFFERENT MEANING.LET’S TAKE LOVE FOR EXAMPLE 1 JOHN 4:9,10(THIS IS GOD LOVE AS A GIFT JESUS.THIS OBVIOUS;Y NOT LOVE OS COMPLACENCY,AFFECTION. CHRISTIAN LOVE TOWARD MEN OR A BROTHERN IN CHRIST IS NOT AN IMPULSE FROM FEELINGS.LOVE SEEKS THE WELFARE OF ALL,ROMANS15:2,AND WORKS NO ILL TO ANY 13:8-10:LOVE SEEKS OPPORTUNITY TO DO GOOD TO”ALL MEN ESPECIALLY TOWARD THEM THAT ARE OF THE HOUSEHOLD OF FAITH”:GAL6:10 THAT’S WHY PEOPLE SAY ‘WELL DAVID LOVED JOHNATHAN SO IT’S OK TO BE GAY NO THEY HAD A BRETHERN(BROTHERS IN CHRIST RELATIONSHIP)SO KNOW GOD’S WORD ONLY BY 1)REPENT(TURNING AWAY FROM SIN)CHANGE OF MINE 2)ACKNOWLEDGE(JESUS CHRIST AND THAT WE’RE A SINNER) 3)ACCEPT(JESUS INTO YOUR LIFE) LOVING A WOMAN,AMAN,CHILD,A CAR,FOOD ALL DIFFER

Answer #13

WHAT DOES PRACTICING MEAN: 1-HABITUAL OR CUSTOMARY WAY OF DOING SOMETHING 2-THE ACTION OF DOING SOMETHING 3-REPEATED PERFORMANCE TO ACQUIRE SKILL 4-THE EXERCISE OF A PROFESSION READ ROMAN1:18 ON MOST PEOPLE THINK CHRISTIANS ARE JUDGING THEM WHEN IN FACT WE ARE CALLED TO LET PEOPLE KNOW WHAT SIN IS. YOU SEE PEOPLE WHO NEVER HAD A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD(THEY JUST KNOW OF GOD)LIKE TO JUDGE CHRISTIANS. WE CHRISTIANS(TRUE CHRISTIAN) ARE CALLED TO LET EVERYONE ON THIS PLANET KNOW THAT CHRIST DIE FOR THEM,GIVE YOUR LIFE TO HIM OR LIVE FOREVER IN DAMNATION OR FOREVER WITH CHRIST. WE CHRISTIAN TESTIFIED BECUASE WE LIVED ON THE OTHER SIDE AND NOW WE’RE LIVING FOR CHRIST WE’RE ALL SINNER AND THEY ONLY WAY WE KEEP GOING AN FOR CHRIST IS CAUSE WHEN WE GET SAVED (REBORN)IT’S NOT FOR US(OUR SALVATION)IT’S FOR GOD’S GLORY
