Passages in bible about homosexuality

Our culture tells us that homosexuality should be noted or at least affirmed, but what does the Bible say?

Homosexual behavior contributed to God’s judgement on Sodom.

• Genesis 19:5-7.
• The most renowned occurrence of homosexual habit in the Bible comes in the first manual of the Bible. It’s the story of Sodom and Gomorrah, and it gives us our first insight into the topic. (See also Ezekiel 16:49-50.)
• Men of city expected to have sex with Lot’s male guests. Why lesbian behavior is called “sodomy.”
• Lot’s response: identifies this as “a wicked thing”. His alternative also wicked (8): giving up his daughters.
• Lot’s guests were actually angels in human form. They have come to reveal Lot about God’s verdict on Sodom. They intervened to stop the crowd.
• Ezekiel 16:49-50. Other sins of Sodom. (God is speaking…)

“Sodom’s sins were pride, gluttony, and laziness, while the poor and needy suffered outside her door. She was proud and pledged detestable sins, so I wiped her out, as you have seen.”

• Summarized in verse 50: She was proud and committed detestable sins. This mirrors the language of Gen 19 (“wicked”) and as we’ll see, Lev 18 (“detestable”).
• To some, this passag
  

  Has 'Homosexual' Always Been in the Bible?

  The pos “arsenokoitai” shows up in two unlike verses in the bible, but it was not translated to mean “homosexual” until 1946.

  We got to sit down with Ed Oxford at his residence in Long Beach, California and discuss about this doubt.

  You have been part of a investigate team that is seeking to perceive how the judgment was made to put the pos homosexual in the bible. Is that true?

  Ed: Yes. It first showed up in the RSV translation. So before figuring out why they decided to employ that word in the RSV translation (which is outlined in my upcoming book with Kathy Baldock, Forging a Sacred Weapon: How the Bible Became Anti-Gay) I wanted to see how other cultures and translations treated the same verses when they were translated during the Reformation 500 years ago. So I started collecting old Bibles in French, German, Irish, Gaelic, Czechoslovakian, Polish… you identify it. Now I’ve got most European major languages that I’ve collected over time. Anyway, I had a German companion come back to town and I asked if he could help me with some pa
  
  

  Leviticus 18:22

  “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 channel means for the LGBTQ community. More specifically, it presents the interpretation of K. Renato Lings in which Lev. 18:22 refers to male-on-male incest.

  While Lev. 18:22 is used to condemn homosexuality, we must see that the legal title “homosexuality” was only recently coined in the English language. So did this term exist in ancient Israel? Charles D. Myers, Jr. confirms that none of the prophets in the Hebrew Bible mention homosexuality.[2] He also contends that in ancient Israel same-sex relations were viewed as an ancient Adjacent East problem. The ancient Near East tradition included pederasty and relations between an older bloke and
  
  

  What Are the Bible Passages That Deal with Homosexuality?

  “For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. Their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural, and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in their own persons the due penalty for their error” (Rom. 1:26–27).

  “Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Execute not be deceived; neither the immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor sexual perverts, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor robbers will inherit the kingdom of God” (1 Cor. 6:9–10).

  “Now we know that the law is nice, if any one uses it lawfully, understanding this, that the law is not laid down for the just but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, immoral persons, sodomites, kidnappers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine” (1 Tim. 1:8–10).

  “Just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding c
  

  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 19:1–13; Leviticus 18:22; 20:13; Romans 1:26–27; 1 Corinthians 6:9; 1 Timothy 1:10; Jude 1:7). In this matter, the New Testament reinforces what the Old Testament had declared since the Law was given to Moses (Leviticus 20:13). The difference between the Elderly 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 receive it (John 1:12; 3:16–18).
  
  
  God’s standards of holiness did not change with the coming of Jesus, because God does not transform (Malachi 3:6; Hebrews 13:8). The New Testament is a continuing revelation of God’s interaction with humanity. God hated idolatry in the Old Testament (Deuteronomy 5:8), and He still hates it in the New (1 John 5:21). What was immoral in the Old Testament is still immoral in the New.
  
  The New Testament says that homosexuality is a “shameful lust” (Romans 1:26), a “shameful act,” an abandonment o
