1 | Homosexuality, sin or not? | 1 Cor 6:9 | LibertyBelle | 132711 | ||
Recently the discussion of homosexuality and Sodom and Gomorrah was brought up. Someone said, "The sin that God destroyed those cities was the lack of hospitality and gave a scripture to back it (sorry, I don't have the scripture) and that there is not anything in the Bible that says God is against homosexuality. Anyway, to make a long story short, I was not able to prove or explain that this was the reason of the destruction. Now he has me wondering, "IS homosexuality alright?" He also said that because Jesus never mentioned homosexuality, it is okay with Him. What say you? (anyone!) | ||||||
2 | Homosexuality, sin or not? | 1 Cor 6:9 | LibertyBelle | 132782 | ||
Here is the scripture explaining the reason God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. "Behold, this was the sin of your sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy-Ezekial 16:49." Where do we get the idea that it was destroyed because of sodomy? Was it because the men were lusting for the angels that came for Lot and his family? or are there scriptures that specifically state this? | ||||||
3 | Homosexuality, sin or not? | 1 Cor 6:9 | Reighnskye | 132783 | ||
LibertyBelle, Here is your exact verse reference in 2nd Peter that ties the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah directly to homosexuality. Please particularly notice verse 7 and the term "sensual conduct". This of course does not preclude other sins of these two cities, but it does nonetheless include homosexuality as a direct reason for the fiery desctruction which ensued. - 2 Peter 2 6 and if He condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to destruction by reducing them to ashes, having made them an example to those who would live ungodly lives thereafter; 7 and if He rescued righteous Lot, oppressed by the sensual conduct of unprincipled men 8 (for by what he saw and heard that righteous man, while living among them, felt his righteous soul tormented day after day by their lawless deeds), (NAS95) - Reighnskye |
