The
first place in the scriptures where homosexuals were talked about was in
Genesis
19:1-5
When the two angels came to Sodom that evening,
Lot was sitting at the city gate. As soon as he saw them, he got up and went to
meet them. He bowed down before them and said, "Sirs, I am here to serve
you. Please come to my house. You can wash your feet and spend the night. In
the morning you can get up early and go on your way." But they answered,
"No, we will spend the night here in the city square." He kept on
urging them, and finally they went with him to his house. Lot ordered his
servants to bake some bread and prepare a fine meal for the guests. When it was
ready, they ate it. Before the guests went to bed, the men of Sodom surrounded
the house. All the men of the city, both young and old, were there. They called
out to Lot and asked, "Where are the men who came to stay with you
tonight? Bring them out to us!" The men of Sodom wanted to have sex with
them.
The punishment was recorded in
Genesis 19:12-13
The two men said to Lot,
"If you have anyone else here---sons, daughters, sons-in-law, or any other
relatives living in the city---get them out of here, because we are going to
destroy this place. The LORD has heard the terrible accusations against these
people and has sent us to destroy Sodom."
Leviticus
18:22
No man is to have sexual relations with another
man; God hates that.
Leviticus 20:13
If a man has sexual relations
with another man, they have done a disgusting thing, and both shall be put to
death. They are responsible for their own death.
Judges 19:20-24
The old man said, "You are welcome
in my home! I'll take care of you; you don't have to spend the night in the
square." So he took them home with him and fed their donkeys. His guests
washed their feet and had a meal. They were enjoying themselves when all of a
sudden some sexual perverts from the town surrounded the house and started
beating on the door. They said to the old man, "Bring out that man that
came home with you! We want to have sex with him!" But the old man went
outside and said to them, "No, my friends! Please! Don't do such an evil,
immoral thing! This man is my guest. Look! Here is his concubine and my own
virgin daughter. I'll bring them out now, and you can have them. Do whatever
you want to with them. But don't do such an awful thing to this man!
Romans 1:20-32
Ever since God created the
world, his invisible qualities, both his eternal power and his divine nature,
have been clearly seen; they are perceived in the things that God has made. So
those people have no excuse at all! They know God, but they do not give him the
honor that belongs to him, nor do they thank him. Instead, their thoughts have
become complete nonsense, and their empty minds are filled with darkness. They
say they are wise, but they are fools; instead of worshiping the immortal God,
they worship images made to look like mortals or birds or animals or reptiles. And
so God has given those people over to do the filthy things their hearts desire,
and they do shameful things with each other. They exchange the truth about God
for a lie; they worship and serve what God has created instead of the Creator
himself, who is to be praised forever! Amen. Because they do this, God has
given them over to shameful passions. Even the women pervert the natural use of
their sex by unnatural acts. In the same way the men give up natural sexual
relations with women and burn with passion for each other. Men do shameful
things with each other, and as a result they bring upon themselves the
punishment they deserve for their wrongdoing. Because those people refuse to
keep in mind the true knowledge about God, he has given them over to corrupted
minds, so that they do the things that they should not do. They are filled with
all kinds of wickedness, evil, greed, and vice; they are full of jealousy,
murder, fighting, deceit, and malice. They gossip and speak evil of one
another; they are hateful to God, insolent, proud, and boastful; they think of
more ways to do evil; they disobey their parents; they have no conscience; they
do not keep their promises, and they show no kindness or pity for others.
They know that God's law says
that people who live in this way deserve death. Yet, not only do they continue
to do these very things, but they even approve of others who do them.
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
Surely you know that the
wicked will not possess God's Kingdom. Do not fool yourselves; people who are
immoral or who worship idols or are adulterers or homosexual perverts or who
steal or are greedy or are drunkards or who slander others or are
thieves---none of these will possess God's Kingdom. Some of you were like that. But you have been
purified from sin; you have been dedicated to God; you have been put right with
God by the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
1 Timothy 1:9-10
It
must be remembered, of course, that laws are made, not for good people, but for
lawbreakers and criminals, for the godless and sinful, for those who are not
religious or spiritual, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for
murderers, for the immoral, for sexual perverts, for kidnappers, for those who
lie and give false testimony or who do anything else contrary to sound
doctrine.
Jude 7
Remember
Sodom and Gomorrah, and the nearby towns, whose people acted as those angels
did and indulged in sexual immorality and perversion: they suffer the
punishment of eternal fire as a plain warning to all.
But God is not interested in the death of the wicked, he wants everyone to make heaven, but it is up to us. God forgives sins, but that is still while you are on earth, after death comes judgement, after death there is no more opportunity to repent... dont postpone the time of your salvation tomorrow might be too-late.
No mater how far in sin you have gone, he is ever ready to forgive your sins, once you are ready to confess. NOW IS THE TIME FOR SALVATION!!!
Those of us who are condemning homosexuals, no sin is too small to take someone to hell....
the person who steals, lies, commits sexual sins etc has no part in heaven, but hell... the same hell created for homosexuals.
As a sinner the only prayer God hears is the prayer of repentance, any other prayer is an abomination... but God is calling you today, dont turn your back on him...
