Bible Verses about Homosexuality
What does the Bible say about Homosexuality? Scriptures on Same-Sex Relations
There are some key Bible verses about homosexuality to realize the biblical view of gay relations. The most commonly quoted Bible verses are Leviticus 18:22 and Leviticus 20:13, which articulate that it is an abomination for a male to lie with another man as he would with a woman. In Romans 1:26-27, Apostle Paul says that homosexuality is contrary to God's innate order and results from rejecting God. Additionally, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 lists homosexuality as one of the sins that will prohibit someone from entering the Kingdom of God. While the Bible is transparent in its view of homosexuality, it is necessary to remember that God loves all of his creation and offers forgiveness to those who repent and turn away from their sins.

The relationship of homosexuality to Christianity is one of the main topics of discussion in our culture today. In the fall of last year I wrote a review of books by Wesley Hill and Sam Allberry that take the historic Christian view, in Hill’s words: “that homosexuality was not God’s original imaginative intention for humanity ... and therefore that lesbian practice goes against God’s express will for all human beings, especially those who trust in Christ.”
There are a number of other books that take the opposite view, namely that the Bible either allows for or supports same sex relationships. Over the last year or so I (and other pastors at Redeemer) have been regularly asked for responses to their arguments. The two most read volumes taking this position seem to be those by Matthew Vines and Ken Wilson. The review of these two books will be longer than usual because the topic is so contested today and, wh
Why the Bible supports homosexual marriage

DISCLAIMER: For the purposes of this small article, “the Bible” will be used interchangeably with the New Testament. Although the Torah is fundamental to these texts and should not be excluded from the discussion, I have decided to limit my direct evidence to strictly New Testament scripture in the interest of brevity.
I read the Bible an awful lot, and while a huge proportion of ideological opinions across the globe are directly rooted in scriptural sms, I — like countless others for whom these passages remain fundamental to their identity and reflection — perpetually find myself searching for explicit theological answers that simply undertake not exist in writing. There are countless examples of religious beliefs that stem abstractly from biblical interpretation but lack specific reference within the write. Gay marriage, or lesbian activity in particular, cannot be included in this list. Saint Paul writes in his first letter to the Corinthians: “Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men…will inherit the kingdom of God” (1 Corinthians 6:9 NIV). Sounds prett

What Does The Bible Utter About Homosexuality?
Introduction
For the last two decades, Pew Explore Center has reported that one of the most enduring ethical issues across Christian traditions is sexual diversity. For many Christians, one of the most frequently first-asked questions on this topic is, “What does the Bible state about attraction to someone of the same sex?”
Although its unlikely that the biblical authors had any notion of sexual orientation (for example, the phrase homosexual wasn't even coined until the late 19th century) for many people of faith, the Bible is looked to for timeless guidance on what it means to honor God with our lives; and this most certainly includes our sexuality.
Before we can jump into how it is that Christians can maintain the authority of the Bible and also affirm sexual diversity, it might be helpful if we started with a brief but clear overview of some of the assumptions informing many Christian approaches to understanding the Bible.

Christianity and “Biblical” Hatefulness
We Christians are good at a lot of things. Helping others. Dressing up on Sunday. Quoting scripture. Pot luck meals. Taking care of church members. Weddings. Funerals. Worship. But perhaps the thing at which we are the most persistently exceptional is misinterpreting the Bible then running amuck in the society because of it. Honestly, mad skills. And history backs me up on this one.
We contain used the Bible to support, promote and act upon some pretty un-Christian things: slavery, holocaust, segregation, subjugation of women, apartheid, the Spanish Inquisition (which, no one ever expects), domestic abuse, all sorts of exploitation and the list could travel on and on. Oddly, if you ask theologians to pick one biblical theme to governance them all, most of them would say “love”… skillfully, love and grace. Okay, love, grace and forgiveness. Pleasant . They probably would not specifically approve on a unpartnered term, but they would most likely name something that is, in every way, the contrary of the oppression, belittlement, hatred and marginalization represented by the numerous atrocities committed by the Christian Church.
