Bible Question: What scriptures pertain to homosexuality being a sin, and where are they found? I'm witnessing to an openly gay man, and need to show him where the Bible say that his sexual preference is sinful. He does not believe it is a sin. |
Bible Answer: Hello Deputy, There are plenty of verses that deal with this topic. However, I don't think trying to convince him that homosexuality is wrong is the best way to point him to Jesus. Even if he wasn't a homosexual he would still be in need of the Lord. I expect that trying to prove that homosexuality is wrong will probably further isolate him. The Lord will take care of forgiving him of his sins and then helping him conquer them. Just focus on teaching him about our Savior regardless of his particular sin. Anyway, that is how I view the situation. Others may disagree. May god be with you and your friend. Nick |
