cheerdad, I'll take a stab, let me know what your thoughts are on these scriptures. The Bible can be a very difficult item to decipher, but these scriptures IMO speak AGAINST homosexuality:

Leviticus 18:22, "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination." (tough one, but I interpret the "-kind" at the end of man and woman to mean men & men, women & women)

Leviticus 20:13, "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." (this is probalby the most clear stance that I can see about the subject of homosexuality)

Romans 1:26-32, "For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them."


1 Corinthians 6:9-11, "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God." (Effeminacy describes having traits that are more often associated with traditional feminine gender roles rather than masculine roles.)

Hey Stardust!!!

Thanks, but all of these scriptures have already been addressed, at the beginning of this discussion. If you get the chance, would you mind reading my posts concerning these scriptures and let me know what you think? I sure would appreciate it! :-) But, even though you did take the time to put these scriptures here, the answer is still not answered...every reference is placed upon men, not women and there is no scripture recorded of where Jesus himself mentions anything about homosexuality. See the reason for my question?

Thanks again!!!
