What proof do 당신 have that homosexuality is a sin?

On this site and in my own catholic/Christian community many people seem to have very strong beliefs (notice I said beliefs) about homosexuality and its immorality. What I don't understand is how people an just assume that. Can someone give me a clear statement from the bible that says its wrong? And no I'm not looking for an answer like "go well God created man and women so there 당신 go" I guess it's just fristrating when people say its wrong an have no proof to back it up.

"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."
[Leviticus 20:13 KJV]

"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."
[Romans 1:26-27 NIV]

These are the verses I found. Also, Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed because they attempted to have intercourse with men (angels in disguise) who were visiting Lot.
Here is a link to Genesis 19:1-29: link

I think God means having sexual relations with the same gender is unnatural and unlawful, and He didn't make us in that way. If this wasn't the case, I suppose God would've made Adam and Eve with both sexual organs, and would've created one gender. That's kinda gross to think about though, Lol. xD
I hope this helped! ^-^

there's a difference between loving someone and having intercourse ( even though that's a part of love). there's nothing in the bible that says " no" to loving someone, regardless of the gender.

A relationship without intimacy is nothing, i.e. close contact, kissing. It is not limited to sexual intercourse: "In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another." [Romans 1:26] A natural relationship with a women is not just sexual, it includes closeness and intimacy too. Swapping that 사랑 with the same gender is something that God doesn't want us to do. Also, even skin contact (like holding hands 또는 hugging) can lead to lust for some people, which invades your mind. If sexual relations with the same gender are unlawful, then we shouldn't even be thinking about them, rather than reminding ourselves of our desires. Being attracted to the same gender, 또는 falling in 사랑 with the same gender is nobody's fault and I don't think it's wrong, but it should stop there. It's a test from God.

I guess my problem with those verses are that they were written 의해 people living in a conservative Jewish community where being gay wasn't socially acceptable. I mean it's not like God just came out and said." being gay is wrong!" ru have to take into consideration when where and 의해 who that was written. God forgives an doesn't command people to be put to death so I have to assume it was not said 의해 God. But your answer was really great and thankyou for the verses

The Bible (HIS WORD) is GOD breathed, also, inspired 의해 GOD (HE leads them to write it down). So yes, I believe, and have faith that GOD wrote every single Word in THE WORD. Some try to get around it for tolerance 또는 their own interpretation, but it's pretty clear from my perspective. Yes GOD forgives, but if u truly invite GOD into your life, & let HIM be your LIFE, then that means asking for forgiveness. He doesn't automatically forgive, since u have to ask for it & mean it (which I'm sure u all know). The problem with the lust/love of homosexuality is, they see nothing wrong with those thoughts/acts, thus not asking for forgiveness, whereas, if I lie 또는 use a curse word (which is just as bad, as listed in 1 Corinthians 6:10), then I ask for forgiveness, & HIS STRENGTH (FOR HE IS STRENGTH) to turn away from said sin. I'm not perfect at all. I do mess up at least once 또는 더 많이 a day. 예수님 still loves me. HE even befriended tax collectors. I don't hate homosexuals. I have family members who're homosexual/bisexual, but I have prayed & still 사랑 them no matter what. GOD doesn't want us to choose the wrong way. HE still loves us no matter what, but it doesn't give us a license to go out & intentionally sin either. 사랑 IS GOD, GOD IS LOVE, not hate. 사랑 THE SINNER, hate the sin. Period. AMEN AND HALLELUJAH, LORD!<3 <3 <3 <3

We 사랑 HIM, because HE FIRST LOVED us. ~1 John 4:19. *And it came to pass, as 예수님 sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down WITH HIM AND HIS DISCIPLES. 11) And when the Pharisees saw it, they said UNTO HIS DISCIPLES, Why eateth your MASTER with publicans and sinners? 12) But when 예수님 heard that, HE said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. 13) But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have MERCY, and not sacrifice: for I AM not COME to call the righteous, but sinners to REPENTENCE. ~Matthew 9:10-12 * Whoever does not 사랑 does not know GOD, because GOD IS LOVE. ~1 John 4:8. IN JESUS' NAME I GIVE ENDLESS THANKS FOR SCRIPTURE AND ALL HE HAS DONE. AMEN!!<3 <3 <3 <3 <3
