Scripture consistently affirms that homosexual behavior is incompatible with God's design for human sexuality and marriage.
Scripture on Homosexuality
Genesis 2:24
Old Testament
"That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh."
Leviticus 18:22
Old Testament
"Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable."
Romans 1:26-27
New Testament
"Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error."
1 Corinthians 6:9-10
New Testament
"Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God."
Jude 1:7
New Testament
"In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire."
The Bottom Line
God created marriage to be between a man and a woman, and He condemns all forms of sexual immorality, including homosexual activity.

As Jesus said, 'Ask and it will be given to you' (Matthew 7:7).
Heavenly Father, I come to You acknowledging that my understanding of sexuality and relationships is often shaped more by culture than by Your Word. Forgive me for the times I've fallen short of Your design. Show me if there is any unbiblical thinking or behavior I need to repent of. Give me the courage to align my life with Your truth, even when it's countercultural. I surrender this area to You. In Jesus' name, Amen.
