The Divinely - Defined Sin
of Homosexuality
Genesis 2:18-24:
And Jehovah God said, =
220;It
is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help meet for
him.” And out of the ground Jehovah God formed every beast of the fie=
ld,
and every bird of the heavens; and brought them unto the man to see what he
would call them: and whatsoever the man called every living creature, that =
was
the name thereof. And the man gave names to all cattle, and to the birds of=
the
heavens, and to every beast of the field; but for man there was not found a
help meet for him. And Jehovah God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man,
and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead
thereof: and the rib, which Jehovah God had taken from the man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the m=
an.
And the man said, “This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my fles=
h:
she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of
Genesis 19:1-7:
And the two angels came t=
o Sodom
at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot saw them, and rose up to
meet them; and he bowed himself with his face to the earth; and he said,
“Behold now, my lords, turn aside, I pray you, into your servant's ho=
use,
and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go=
on
your way.” And they said, “Nay; but we will abide in the street=
all
night.” And he urged them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and
entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened
bread, and they did eat. But before they lay down, the men of the city, even
the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both young and old, all the pe=
ople
from every quarter; they called unto Lot, and said unto him, “Where a=
re
the men that came in to thee this night? Bring them out unto us, that we may
know them.” And
Genesis 18:20:
And Jehovah said, “Because the cry of
Jude 6-8:
And angels that kept not = their own principality, but left their p= roper habitation, he hath kept in everlasting bonds under darkness unto the judgm= ent of the great day. Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them, ha= ving in like manner with these given themselves over to fornication and gone after strange flesh, are set fo= rth as an example, suffering the punis= hment of eternal fire. Yet in like manner these also in their dreamings defile the flesh, and set at noug= ht dominion, and rail at dignities.
Leviticus 18:22-30:
Thou shalt not lie with m= ankind, as with womankind: it is abominati= on. And thou shalt not lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith; neither shall any woman stand before a beast, to lie down thereto: it is confusion. Defile not ye yourselves in any of= these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out from before you; and the land is defil= ed: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land vomiteth out her inhabitants. Ye therefore shall keep my statutes and mine ordinances, = and shall not do any of these abominat= ions; neither the home-born, nor the stranger that sojourneth among you; (for all these abominations have the me= n of the land done, that were before you, and the land is defiled) that the land vomit not you out also, when ye defile it, as it vomited out the nation that was before you. For whosoever shall do any of these abominations, even the souls that do them shall be cut off from among their people. Therefore shall ye keep my charge, that ye practice not any of these abominable customs, which were practiced before yo= u, and that ye defile not yourselves<= /b> therein: I am Jehovah your God.
Leviticus 20:13:
And if a man lie with man= kind, as with womankind, both of them have committed abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood sha= ll be upon them.
Romans 1:18-28:
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hinder the truth in unrighteousness;<= /b> because that which is known of God is manifest in them; for God manifested = it unto them. For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world = are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity; that they may be without excuse: because that, knowing God, they glorified him n= ot as God, neither gave thanks; but became vain in their reasonings, and their senseless heart was darkened. Prof= essing themselves to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God gave them= up in the lusts of their hearts unto = uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishon= ored among themselves: for that they ex= changed the truth of God for a lie, and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile passions: for their = women changed the natural use into that which is against nature: and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another, men = with men working unseemliness, and rece= iving in themselves that recompense of their error which was due. And even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up unto a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting…

Galatians 5:19-20:
Now the works of th= e flesh are manifest, which are these: for= nication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousie= s, wraths, factions, divisions, parties, envyings, drunkenness, revellings, and such like; of which I forewarn you, even as I did forewarn you, that they w= ho practice such things shall not in= herit the kingdom of God.
Ephesians 5:3-7:
But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not e=
ven
be named among you, as becometh saints; nor filthiness, nor foolish talking=
, or
jesting, which are not befitting: but rather giving of thanks. For this ye =
know
of a surety, that no fornicator, n=
or
unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the
Revelation 21:7-8:
He that overcometh shall inherit these things; and I will be his God, a= nd he shall be my son. But for the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and i= dolaters, and all liars, their part shall be in the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone; which is the second death.
John 8:10-11:
And Jesus lifted up himse= lf, and said unto her, “Woman, where are they? Did no man condemn thee?” And she said, “No man, Lord.” And Jesus said, “Neither do= I condemn thee: go thy way; from henceforth sin no more.”
That homosexuality is a “wicked”, “very
grievous”, “fornicational”, “flesh-defiling”,
“ungodly”, “abomination”; an “inexcusableR=
21;,
“vile passion”, of a “reprobate mind”, against
God’s “natural order”, and is “punishable by eternal
fire” when God’s “wrath” is brought to bear, is
abundantly clear in the Scriptures. Nowhere is it acceptable or excusable if
continued in. Nowhere. Just as clear in fact, is the fact, that it is not
hereditary or genetic, but can be – and must be – repented of if
one wants to go to heaven! Al=
though
many will “be deceived” by human’s excuses, they will not=
be
delivered by Heaven’s edicts!
