The Bible Does Indeed Directly Address Homosexuality

Jude verse 7 (commenting on the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah in Genesis chapter 19): “Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.”

Leviticus 18:22: “Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.”

Leviticus 20:13: “ If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.”

(See our message “Jesus Never Changed God’s Law Nor Got Rid of His Judgment” for more in relation to this specific verse).

1 Corinthians 6:9-10: “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God?  Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.”

Deuteronomy 22:5 (consider the several obvious implications of this command): “The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the Lord thy God.”

Romans 1:18-32: “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.  For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.  Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things.  Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature more than (or, rather than) the Creator, who is blessed for ever.  Amen.  For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change 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 that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet (fitting).  And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge (that is a reference to retaining God fully in their knowledge), God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding (foolish/senseless), covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable (impossible to appease; unable to come to reasonable agreements), unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.”

1 Timothy 1:8-11: “But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully; Knowing this, that the law is not made for (that is, does not lay against or does not strike against) a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind (those who have homosexual relations)), for menstealers (kidnappers), for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine; According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.”

This also proves that the Law and the Gospel are in complete agreement (see also Romans 3:31 and Romans 8:4).  Those justified in God’s sight are not transgressors of His Law.  They are rather truly repentant, and hence they have made a 180 degree turn away from sin.  1 John 3:4 is clear in saying that sin is the transgression of the Law.  

Mark 10:6-7: “But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.  For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife”

1 Corinthians 7:1-2: “Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.  Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.”

Hence the Bible teaches that any and every sexual relationship which is not between a man and a woman who are married to each is a sin which incurs God’s judgment.

Hebrews 13:4: “Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.”
