America is a nation founded on Judeo-Christian principles, which by definition are based on the Bible. Are there Bible verses on homosexuality? There are explicit Bible verses on homosexuality and all of the Bible verses on homosexuality condemn it using the strongest terms and comparisons. To start, here are some examples drawn from both the Old Testament and the New Testament (while homosexuality isn't referred to as such, the descriptions below clearly address it): "If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination." (Leviticus 20:13). "You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination. Nor shall you mate with any animal, to defile yourself with it. Nor shall any woman stand before an animal to mate with it. It is perversion. ‘Do not defile yourselves with any of these things; for by all these the nations are defiled, which I am casting out before you." (Leviticus 18:22-24). "For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due." (Romans 1:26-27). In 1987, 75% of Americans felt that homosexual relations are "always wrong". Just 23 years later in 2010, only 44% felt that way. Homosexuality increasingly being accepted by our society and the alarming speed of this acceptance do not change the Bible's clear prohibition of it. A nation built on Judeo-Christian principles must stand against homosexuality and homosexual marriage. (next page...) (If you are struggling with homosexuality, this site offers help.)
