What does the Bible say about Homosexuality?



Immorality
What does the Bible say about Homosexuality?

Sex is a creation of God, who pronounced all His creation "good"!   Sexuality is not sinful.   It is a wonderful part of God's plan.   However, God put a limit on sex--only one: sex is meant to be enjoyed in the context of marriage...Unfortunately, these days we must be specific: Sex is to be enjoyed within the context of a marriage between a man and a woman.
For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.   The man and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.   Genesis 2:24-25
Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.   Hebrews 13:4

If god had intended the human race to be fulfilled through both heterosexual and homosexual marriage, He would have designed our bodies to allow reproduction through both means and made both means of sexual intercourse healthy and natural.   Homosexual anal intercourse (for example) carries a high risk of disease, this is recognized in scripture where gay men are said to receive in their bodies the due penalty for their error.
Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts.   Even the women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones.   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.   Romans 1:26-27

Paul later wrote:
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 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.   1Corinthians 6:9-10

All sex sins (promiscuity, adultery, homosexuality, prostitution, etc) are all sins because they do not conform...
