22. What is your position on a Constitutional ban on
homosexual marriage, and why?
America is a nation founded on Judeo-Christian principles, which are
by definition based on
the Bible. Are there explicit Bible verses
on homosexuality?
There are. Consider these Old Testament homosexuality Bible verses:
"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). Notice that
the latter Bible verses lump in homosexuality with bestiality.
There are also
New Testament
Bible verses on homosexuality, including,
"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).
The fact that homosexuality is increasingly accepted by the society doesn't
change the Bible
's clear interdiction of homosexuality, as
evidenced by the Bible verses above. A nation built on Judeo-Christian
principles should stand against homosexuality and homosexual
marriage. (If you are struggling with homosexuality,
