You will note my greater emphasis is on the gospel.
All the dissecting arguments in regard to the topic are merely demonicly influenced with aim to silence what matters the most.
The One thing that can save any sinner.
The good news of the lord Jesus.
A correct question is. Is sexual immorality a sin ?yes... in every form with same sex and sodomy singled out and declared by God to be abhorrent .
However we will not change the world .God has declared it is wicked and it is destined for judgment and destruction.
Homosexuality is an insipid lie from the enemy. It is an illusion (GRANTED: I mean the mentality that one is 100% "frozen into" to same-sex attraction.)
I don't understand why the OP is asking where in the new testament does it forbid homosexuality when God is the same God, is Christ, is the Son of God. The "New Covenant," aka "New Testament" is the same God speaking as the God of Moses, and Abraham. So, if He said it was wrong before, He doesn't back slide, and renege on His commandments. Christ would not be Christ if He contradicted the "old testament" God. Therefore, it matters not whether it is said in the "Old Covenant/Testament" or "New Covenant/Testament" that it is wrong.
It seems to me the homosexuals are trolling the Christian forums looking for debates that will justify their hate arguments, or force acceptance on what we know to be sinful. Continuing to debate the issue just seems to add fuel to the fire. Why not just ignore the subject and refuse to respond. We are not going to change their beliefs, nor are they ours. So what is the point? Each side had argued their beliefs and it is getting no where. Lets face it, in the end God will sort it out.
His pain at the loss of his SO is no less than any other person who loses their mate. Yet, it is often diminished by some false Christians. It's like, well that is a sin so it serves him right.
New question. It seems as though 2 or 3 people are implying that sin will send you to hell? In my church they say that believing in Jesus is all you need to do to go to heaven. Of course, one needs to live the way Jesus tells us to, but sin does not send you to hell. It also teaches me that all sin is equal-- which I have a little bit of a hard time with but if so.. then everyone is in BIG trouble.
LK 17:26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
LK 17:27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
LK 17:28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
LK 17:29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
This prophecy is being fullfilled, right now, today and yet people can't seem to see it. [/FONT][/SIZE]No mention of homosexuality here. These people were doing very ordinary, every day activities, and yet God destroyed them. They stopped caring about what God wanted. They became distracted with the cares of this world. Look around. Take a long, hard look. This is happening now. So many have reasons for why Jesus' teachings don't apply to them; they have bills to pay, events to attend, jobs to work etc...

Hi. I have to disagree; Jesus made specific mention of homosexuality in that passage. He referred to Sodom.
What I'd like to know is what was implied by "as it was in the days of Noah."
MT 22:5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:
LK 14:18 And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.
LK 14:19 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.
LK 14:20 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
MT 13:22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.
I took you for a rational fellow, theo. ^.-
He mentions the name of a city. What he says about that city has nothing to do with homosexuality. The fact that he also mentions the days of Noah as being in the same category of problems as Sodom reinforces the point that he is not talking about homosexuality; he is talking about complacency.
Personally, don't see it as an implication. Consider the similarities between this scripture and these other examples...
Servant told to come to the marriage supper.
There is a consistent theme here, but it's the very nature of that theme that stops us from seeing it. It is because we are caught up in the cares of this world that we cannot see that we are caught up in the cares of this world. The only way to break out of it is to believe what Jesus said. Take him at his word. He said this is a very serious problem.
If we try to pretend that it's really about homosexuality or some other problem, then we are still missing the lesson. We will be like people in the matrix who are given exercises to keep us busy arguing with one another about seemingly important issues, while never realizing we are still asleep.
Teachings like forsaking all, working for love rather than money and the things money can buy, living communally with other Christians, and going into all the world to preach the gospel are the keys to waking up out of the complacency of the system which lulls us to sleep.
The commandments regarding what we do and what we do not do, are written from Genesis through Deuteronomy.
Lev 20:13 says: if a man lies with another man, as he does with a woman, they have committed abomination, they shall surely be put to death.
So this answers the question, Homosexuals will go to hell and burn there forever.
Read your scriptures better, look since America began legalizing Gay marriage, the economy has been sinking America is not with a debt of 17 trillion dollars.
2012 was a big year for gay agenda in NY, interestingly that year they had Sandy hurricane, go to youtube and watch the vision of David Wilkerson 1973.
If you tolerate gays, that means you are spiritually dead and do not know the scriptures, and you will end up in hell if you do not repent
