LGBT- what scriptures do you have?

[ModernMoses]

I am looking for scriptures that specifically say that a woman or a man cannot love a person of the same gender. Not ones stating that a man CAN love a woman or related messages. I want ones saying they can or cannot love the same sex. Thanks!

 

[SeventyOne]

By 'love', do you mean the emotion or the physical act?

 

[Your Brother In Christ]

That is easy, I did a video trying to disprove that homosexuality is a sin, and I found the truth:

Let me know, if this helps.

In terms of being in love with someone of the same sex, it doesn't mention love, but it speaks on the sexual aspect of it.

Such as Hebrews 13:4 that says the marriage bed should remain pure, and God will judge the adulterer and sexually immoral.

Or in John 8:7-11 where Jesus tells the women who is sleeping around to leave her life of sin.

Romans 1:26-28 says, "Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error. Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done."

Jude 1:7-8 says, "In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire. In the very same way, on the strength of their dreams these ungodly people pollute their own bodies, reject authority and heap abuse on celestial beings."

1st Timothy 1:8-11 says, "We know that the law is good if one uses it properly. We also know that the law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers,
for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine that conforms to the gospel concerning the glory of the blessed God, which he entrusted to me."

Mark 10:6-9 says, "for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine that conforms to the gospel concerning the glory of the blessed God, which he entrusted to me."

1st Corinthians 6:9-11 says, "Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God."

Leviticus 18:22, "‘Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable."

1st Corinthians 6:17-20 says, "But whoever is united with the Lord is one with him in spirit. Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body. Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies."

Anyway, I think there are more, but you got the idea. Not sure if you meant emotionally love, but it seems sure from the Word that homosexuality in itself is detestable, a sin, and we should flee from it.

24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another.
25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones.
27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

Romans 1:24-27

Some take Galatians 3:28 that way.

There is nothing that says that we can't love people of the same gender, but the Bible does prohibit homosexal sex.

 

[Soyeong]

Some take Galatians 3:28 that way.

The Bible refers to people as being Greeks, Jews, slaves, free, men, and women, so quite clearly Paul was not denying the existence of these categories. The issue was that that people thought that they had a higher status because of their category, such as Jews thinking that the were saved simply because they were a Jew, so Paul was denying that these categories gave a special status in regard to who can be in Christ.

If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. - Leviticus 20:13

1st Timothy 1:8-11 is the most powerful one for me, homosexuality is a sin, even if our world accepts it. After all, what are we but the salt of the earth, Matthew 5:13.

So, a homosexual might feel that unnatural love, but they shouldn't act on it. Much like even heterosexuals are called to save themselves until marriage. The bible is very strict on all sexual acts, as it was created by God for a single purpose. Just like everything else we touch, man has perverted God's laws.

I really want to slap people sometimes. Can someone help me find a Scripture that specifically says it is not OK to slap another person, especially if I really, really want to?

You can find these things listed in hundreds or probably thousands of places on the internet. It's always going to be the same verses. If you say a little more about what you're looking for (if you're looking for anything else), maybe someone will make suggestions.

 

[NothingIsImpossible]

Well problem with some christians is the want perfectly matching verses that use exact words. If they can't find it then they justify their view. I mean I don't see a verse that says I can't go skydiving since its very dangerous. Or that I shouldn't stand in the rain when theres lightning. Or that youtube isn't allowed being something I like alot (not to an idol point).

Now is "loving the same sex" stated in the bible? As in that exact word? No. But we know other verses that talk about laying with the same sex. Some will argue "Thats about sex!", not love. But we all know what the verses actually mean, Saying it doesn't say a certain word is silly. Look at suicide. Many christians are ok with suicide because the bible doesn't say anything about it. Despite the fact it does, they will say "It doesn't say suicide though!". Or they will also add on "It doesn't say I will go to hell if I commit suicide!". Though they probably find out the hard way they were wrong.

Going by your past posts it looks like your not here because your in support of LGBT, but more so curious maybe how to talk to people who ask you about "love" and LGBT.

This^^ I struggle with homosexuality and I've came to the same conclusion, i.e. I have these attractions, but I can't act on it. Most of the verses have been given here I think so I can't really add anything in that regard, but I felt the need to put in my two cents.

You will find none in the Bible of a man loving a man as a man (husband) loves a woman (wife), because the Bible does not recognize homosexual relations as love. You cannot love a mirror image. It is narcissism.

Moreover, Jesus affirms marriage between one man and one woman. He never affirms a union between 2 men or 2 women because He has defined it as an abomination. There is no love in that which God has defined an abomination.


Condemnation of homosexuality:
Leviticus 18:22, 20:13, Romans 1:18-31

Affirmation of marriage between one man and one woman:
Genesis 2:23-24, Matthew 19:4-6

1 Corinthians 6:9-11 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, (10) nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. (11) And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

Most men with men don't look so much like their partners that they would be considered mirror images of each other.

Also, in your second paragraph quoted above, it seems like you're saying that the incarnate Jesus in the Gospels defined "a union between 2 men or 2 women" as an abomination. I'm not aware of where he does that.
