Homosexuality Is Wrong Essay, Research Paper
Scriptures from King James version – The Holy Bible
I don’t understand how anyone believing in God can accept homosexuality as a normal way of life. In Chapter 19 of Genesis, two angels were sent to get Lot (a Godly man) and his family out of the city of Sodom. God was going to destroy the city because it was it was inhabited by all homosexuals. The angels in the form of men stayed at Lot’s house that night and a band of homosexuals demanded that Lot send the two men out for them to be intimate with. In Genesis 19: verses 7&8, Lot said ” I beg of you, my brothers, do not behave so wickedly. Look now, I have two daughters who are virgins; let me, I beg of you, bring them out to you, and you can do as you please with them. But only do nothing to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof.” The homosexuals rejected the two virgins. Gang raping two virgins was considered less of an offense than a homosexual act. Lot was willing to sacrifice his own daughters to turn them around, but he did NOT accept homosexuality. Lot and his family escaped and the city of Sodom was destroyed by God the next day.
Leviticus 18:22
Thou shall not lie with a man as with a woman; it is an abomination.
The act of homosexuality can easily be compared to having sex with animals.
Leviticus 20:13
If a man lies with a male as if he were a woman, both men have committed an offense (something perverse, unnatural, abhorrent, and detestable); they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
Romans 1:26-27
For this reason God gave them over and abandoned them to vile affections and degrading passions. For their women exchanged their natural function for an unnatural and abnormal one. And the men also turned from natural relation with women and were set ablaze with lust for one in their own bodies and personalities the inevitable consequences and penalty of their wrong-doing and going astray, which was (their) fitting retribution.
Condoning homosexuality and helping them be proud of it, is not being kind to them! It is clearly wrong in the eyes of God. Their only hope is confessing that it is wrong and asking for mercy.
