Is homosexuality a sin?

God has already answered that question Himself:

Leviticus 18:22

"Do not practice homosexuality; it is a detestable sin.

Leviticus 20:13
"The penalty for homosexual acts is death to both parties. They have committed a detestable act and are guilty of a capital offense.

Romans 1:26-27
"That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other. And the men, instead of having normal sexual relationships with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men and, as a result, suffered within themselves the penalty they so richly deserved.

1 Corinthians 6:9
"Don't you know that those who do wrong will have no share in the Kingdom of God? Don't fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, who are idol worshipers, adulterers, male prostitutes, homosexuals,

1 Timothy 1:5 - 10
"The purpose of my instruction is that all the Christians there would be filled with love that comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and sincere faith. But some teachers have missed this whole point. They have turned away from these things and spend their time arguing and talking foolishness. They want to be known as teachers of the law of Moses, but they don't know what they are talking about, even though they seem so confident. We know these laws are good when they are used as God intended. But they were not made for people who do what is right. They are for people who are disobedient and rebellious, who are ungodly and sinful, who consider nothing sacred and defile what is holy, who murder their father or mother or other people. These laws are for people who are sexually immoral, for homosexuals and slave traders, for liars and oath breakers, and for those who do anything else that contradicts the right teaching that comes from the glorious Good News entrusted to me by our blessed God.


So yes, homosexuality, according to God and the Word that He has given to all of us, is clearly a sexual sin.

So why all the confusion?

Matthew 15:9
`BUT IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME, TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE PRECEPTS OF MEN.' "

Mark 7:7
'These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far away. Their worship is a farce, for they replace God's commands with their own man-made teachings.'

1 Timothy 4:1
"Now the Holy Spirit tells us clearly that in the last times some will turn away from what we believe; they will follow lying spirits and teachings that come from demons.


Ephesians 4:17
"With the Lord's authority let me say this: Live no longer as the ungodly do, for they are hopelessly confused."

I’m not anti-gay but I’m not pro-gay either. However, I have noticed an alarming trend. Over the years there have been many devices to try to promote homosexuality. But one by one they were all found to be false. For example, remember when it was said that there is a gay gene? Well it has now been proven that there is no “gay gene”. Remember when they said that 10% of people are automatically gay? Well, guess that was a lie too. There is not a statistical “10% across the board” gay incidence rate. Time and time again it has been proven that homosexuality is a choice, and that is it. So what’s the problem? Well, people are still going around quoting the “gay gene” and “10% are gay” lies as if they were facts! This, as is all widespread deception and misinformation, is irrefutably causing harm to society.
No matter how much deception you throw at it, no one will ever be able to change the fact that the bible calls homosexuality a sin. It just does. The bible clearly states that it is a sin. There is no room for debate. The bible calls lust a sin too, is that up for debate as well?
Why do people try to pretend otherwise? I’ll tell you why. It’s because they want to justify their actions. IF you want to follow Jesus, you have to choose between His way, or the world’s way. You can’t have both.
