ArchivedHow to help gay friends..Actually gerani1248, there are more than 1 Scripture that condemns same gender sexual relationships:
- Leviticus 18:22
22 'You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination. NAS
- Leviticus 20:13
13 'If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltiness is upon them. NAS
- Romans 1:26-27
26 For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, 27 and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.
NAS
- 1 Corinthians 6:9
9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, NAS
- 1 Timothy 1:10
10 and immoral men and homosexuals and kidnappers and liars and perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching, NAS Some Christians add:
- Genesis 19:5
5 and they called to Lot and said to him, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may have relations with them." NAS
- Deuteronomy 23:17
17 "None of the daughters of Israel shall be a cult prostitute, nor shall any of the sons of Israel be a cult prostitute. NAS
- Judges 19 (You can read the account for yourself)
The only sexual relationship that Jesus approved is found in Matthew 19:4-9
4 And He answered and said, "Have you not read, that He who created them from the beginning made them male and female, 5 and said,' For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh'? 6 "Consequently they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate." 7 They said to Him, "Why then did Moses command to give her a certificate of divorce and send her away?" 8 He said to them, "Because of your hardness of heart, Moses permitted you to divorce your wives; but from the beginning it has not been this way. 9 "And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery." NAS
Love of neighbor is not the issue; the issue is sexual relationships with your neighbor no matter how you try to rationalize the relationship.
