What Does The Bible Say About Homosexuality? by Kneebow(m): 1:56am On Jun 14, 2016 |
http://dailyrolls..ca/2016/06/what-does-bible-say-about-homosexuality.html Why Is Homosexuality So Prevalent In America? The Bible doesn't speak of homosexuality very often; but when it does, it condemns it as sin. Let's take a look. Leviticus 18:22, "You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination."1 Leviticus 20:13, "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 bloodguiltness is upon them." 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, "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, 10 nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God." Romans 1:26-28, "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. 28 And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper." Homosexuality is clearly condemned in the Bible. It undermines God's created order where He made Adam and Eve, a man and a woman, to carry out his command to fill and subdue the earth (Genesis 1:28). Homosexuality cannot carry out that mandate. In addition, homosexuality undermines the basic family unit of husband and wife which is the God-ordained means of procreation. Again, homosexuality cannot do that. And, believe it or not, it is also dangerous to society. (See Is homosexuality dangerous?) Homosexuality has a heavy judgment administered by God Himself upon those who commit it and support it. "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," (Romans 1:26-27). As a result of being "given over", they can no longer see the error of what they are doing, will not seek forgiveness, and will not repent. They will then die in their sins and face God's righteous condemnation. We as Christians do not want this judgment to fall upon anyone. But, their rebellion against God does not stop there. Those who are judged by God this way, also promote it and condemn others who don't approve of their behavior. "...and, although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them," (Romans 1:32). So, in their "hearty approval" of homosexuality, they encourage others to accept their practice and so their sin and rebellion against God spreads. This means they will reject Christ's redemptive work on the cross. Without Jesus, they will have no forgiveness. Without forgiveness, they will have no salvation. Without salvation, there is only damnation in eternalhell. We don't want this for anyone. PERSECUTION OF THE NON-POLITICALLY CORRECT? The Bible's view of homosexuality is not politically correct ... and this is a concern. Will the Bible soon be considered hate speech by the moral-less majority? There is already significant social pressure being put on the American populace to accept homosexuality as normal and healthy. Homosexuality is promoted in movies, television, magazines, schools, etc. The social re-engineering is well underway. Yet, statistically only 3% of the population are homosexuals.2Christians, on the other hand, occupy a far higher percentage, 70%3 yet they are not fairly represented in the media. Instead, Christians are routinely portrayed as bigots, narrow-minded idiots, hypocrites, and worse. Why? Because there is little tolerance and equality from the left for those who disagree with them. The social attitude of America is slowly being engineered to accept liberal sexual behavior while condemning and silencing those who disagree. Since behavior follows belief, what is to stop our increasingly liberal society from acting on it's silence-the-opposition attitude and become more and more harsh in its dealings with Christians? Nothing. In fact, there are increasing calls to get Christians kicked off of social networks for speaking out against homosexual marriage. Silence the Christians! At work, many Bible believers are told to go through sensitivity training in favor of the LGBT community, even though such "sensitivity training" is highly offensive to them. If they don't go, they can be fired. It seems that sensitivity must be shown towards the homosexuals, but never towards the Christians. This hypocrisy is blatant and dangerous. http://dailyrolls..ca/2016/06/what-does-bible-say-about-homosexuality.html |

Looking at it beyond religion,africa tradition forbids it as well. |
Re: What Does The Bible Say About Homosexuality? by nobilis: 6:44am On Jun 14, 2016 |
fmc1: Make proper researches before spewing trash. No african tradition forbids homosexuality. Of all the tribes and ethnicities in Africa, none forbade homosexuality. The very first time that homosexuality was viewed as a sin in Africa was when the colonial masters came and imposed their laws on Africans. Before that, there was no forbidding of homosexuality. 5 Likes 3 Shares |

And OP, I have a question. Why is it that all the passages that talk about homosexuality always refer to the men? Is there no homosexuality among the women? If u understand why I'm asking you this question, then we won't discuss this further. 2 Likes 1 Share |

nobilis: It is an abomination in the Igbo tradition, there is no written record of rule of laws in the Igbo tradition but lets go with what is passed down orally and so to speak the Igbo tradition (one that i know well) forbade homosexuality was taken to be abnormal, so was an abomination (aru). I think such offenses as abominations incurred severe penalties You cannot point at an example in our history that gives explicit examples of homosexual relationships. I agree everyone should be free to do what ever they want with their body, but you do not have to distort historical or should i say traditional facts to add weights to your views. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Gays cannot, in any sense ever be a significant part of the population, they are always going to be in the minority.

OP the bible explicitly condemns homosexuality not only that commands death as a penalty.. Leviticus 20:13 "If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them." The muslim retar_d who murdered 50 at a gay club in the united states actually obeyed the bible better. I have always noticed Muslims obey the Abrahamic deity and it's charges than Christians ... Christians find the charges of the Old testament yahweh very disturbing and always avoid them 5 Likes 5 Shares |

johnydon22: Actually, Christians are more concerned with greed, eating pork, eating prawns/lobsters and other seafood, adultery/fornication, lying etc. Muslims are more devout. A Muslim will blow himself up for Mohammed but if you ask a Christian to do the same he will tell you, "god just blessed me with this house. I am sure he wants me to live in it". ![]() 3 Likes |

crusadistic: I disagree with you here, There is no such thing as an aberration in nature, nature is almost certainly uncharted. there is no one way things should happen in nature, it can happen anyway and anyhow. Are you the one that decides what should be regarded natural and what is not? Matter is lightless and lifeless yet same matter is living as you and same matter burns and gives light as the sun. Nature happens anyway and every way , Just because you can't fly doesn't mean Flying is abnormal or consonant with nature. There is no such a thing as One human nature, it goes everywhere and anyway.. Yours is not a benchmark to determining what is normal in nature and what is not, that's egoistic 1 Like |

hahn: Christians are more reasonable when it comes to that, they just had to make up their conjectures to back it up like "we are no longer under the law" but somehow they are still under tithe which was part of the law and other parts of the laws they agree with.. It's double standard and hypocrisy... they do not really believe what they think they believe. the whips of secularism whipped Christianity into moderation.. 7 Likes 4 Shares |

JMAN05: Good now since the law was against homosexuality but now as you are no longer it, the law is now irrelevant in this regard. doesn't this also implies that the position of the law on homosexuality is then irrelevant since the law does not hold sway any more. doesn't this then mean its ok for a Christian to be gay since they are no longer bound by the law? |

Re: What Does The Bible Say About Homosexuality? by johnydon22(m): 5:24pm On Jun 14, 2016 |
JMAN05: So you are still under the principles of the law but not the law, that doesn't even makes sense since the principles of the law is a product of the law. If the law stipulates what is right and what is wrong and then you nullify the law that means 'the right and wrong' of the law is nullified. So it's either the christians are under the law and follow the law to the later [avoid cherrypick] or they are not which means both the law and it's principles are null and void. You cannot take a bit of the two, that's like eating your cake and having it again... If you condemn homosexuality by the law [Leviticus] which in essence is the foundation of the verse in [Corinthians ] then you are following the law therefore under the law and probably will need guns there are many gays to murder. If you say you are no longer under the law then you have no basis to condemn the act since the law against it no longer holds. 3 Likes 3 Shares |

The problem with homosexuality (in males especially) is not a moral one, it is purely technical as to why it is not an encourage-able behaviour-choice. Morals are meaningless in nature, or animals would not feed off of others by "stealing" their lives. The law in Nigeria on the matter is misinformed and needs to be removed. It should be more like Russia's which focuses on anti-propaganda as perpetrated by the "Jewish" controllers in the west. My policy on the matter is "Live and Let Live -- Do no harm to another and do not rub your personal choices in people's faces." Rape on the other hand is Rape, and should be treated in isolation regardless of what age or gender-combination was involved. I continue to be amused by the irony of our society today in which it is designed to be terribly homo-social. We isolate our kids in single-gender school at the very height of puberty and wonder why homosexuality happens. The same bible and other books that have a mouthful to say on "bad behaviour" are themselves causatives to those behaviours in their hypocrisy about the naturalness and okness of sex between male and female. Has anyone even ever considered the solution to the problem? Is it laws that treat effect? Who or is treating the Cause? 2 Likes 1 Share |

Re: What Does The Bible Say About Homosexuality? by nobilis: 7:52pm On Jun 14, 2016 |
johnydon22: Neither can you point to an express traditional injunction against homosexuality. All you're doing here is translating "abomination" to Igbo language for me. That is not what I'm asking you, sir. In all of Igbo oral tradition, give me a reference to an express command against homosexuality. In Africa at large, there are even African tribes in which homosexual relationships are sort of a rite of passage for the men before they go on to get married and have their own kids.

johnydon22: This issue is too hard for u? 1cor 6:9 condemns such conduct, but we are not under the law, so we don't kill anyone who is gay. For God to order for there execution shows he hates such conduct. With that, we know how repulsive the act is to God. That's all. but u are not to carry out the detates of the law by killing any defaulter. It is even specifically condemned in 1cor 6:9.
