What is God's view of Sexual Immorality and Homosexuality?

  1

Leviticus 18:22-23
"You will not have intercourse with a man as you would with a woman.
This is a hateful thing.
23 "You will not have intercourse with any kind of animal;
you would become unclean by doing so.
Nor will a woman offer herself to an animal,
to have intercourse with it. This would be a violation of nature.

  2

Romans 1:25-27
because they exchanged God's truth for a lie and have worshipped
and served the creature instead of the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 That is why God abandoned them to degrading passions:
27 why their women have exchanged natural intercourse for unnatural practices;
and the men, in a similar fashion, too, giving up normal relations with women,
are consumed with passion for each other, men doing shameful things with men
and receiving in themselves due reward for their perversion.

  3

1 Timothy 1:10
for the promiscuous, homosexuals, kidnappers, for liars and for perjurers
and for everything else that is contrary to the sound teaching

  4

Galatians 5:19-21
When self-indulgence is at work the results are obvious:
sexual vice, impurity, and sensuality,
20 the worship of false gods and sorcery; antagonisms and
rivalry, jealousy, bad temper and quarrels, disagreements,
21 factions and malice, drunkenness, orgies and all such things.
And about these, I tell you now as I have told you in the past,
that people who behave in these ways will not inherit the kingdom of God.

  5

1 Corinthians 6:9,10
Do you not realise that people who do evil will never inherit the kingdom of God?
Make no mistake, the sexually immoral,
idolaters, adulterers, the self-indulgent, sodomites,
10 thieves, misers, drunkards, slanderers and swindlers,
none of these will inherit the kingdom of God.

  5

Hebrews 13:4
Marriage must be honoured by all, and marriages must be kept undefiled,
because the sexually immoral and adulterers will come under God's judgement.

  5

Jude 7
Sodom and Gomorrah, too, and the neighbouring towns,
who with the same sexual immorality pursued unnatural lusts,
are put before us as an example
since they are paying the penalty of eternal fire.

The Bible view of sexual immorality
Sexual acts outside of the sanctity of marriage and the
engagement in homosexual and other unnatural sexual acts.
