The sin of homosexual relations is part of the Biblical category of immorality regarding fornication (sex with unlawful partners), which is prohibited and condemned in the Old Testament, and which judgment is confirmed in the New Testament. As has been traditionally established, from the beginning and throughout the Bible only opposite genders are joined in marriage, with the foundational basis for this unique union being first seen in Genesis 1:16,27; 2:18-24. The Lord Jesus also later confirmed that the marital union of a male and a female constituted the "what" of "what therefore God hath joined together." (Matthew 19:4; cf. Eph. 5:31).

  • The sin of homosexual relations is part of the Biblical category of immorality regarding fornication (sex with unlawful partners), which is prohibited and condemned in the Old Testament, and which judgment is confirmed in the New Testament. As has been traditionally established, from the beginning and throughout the Bible only opposite genders are joined in marriage, with the foundational basis for this unique union being first seen in Genesis 1:16,27; 2:18-24. The Lord Jesus also later confirmed that the marital union of a male and a female constituted the "what" of "what therefore God hath joined together." (Matthew 19:4; cf. Eph. 5:31). In the Old Testament the principal texts condemning homosexual relations are Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13, with the primary corresponding text in the New Testament being that of Romans 1:18-27. Less descriptive texts are 1 Corinthians 6:9, and 1 Tim. 1:10. Pro-homosexual writers have labored extensively in seeking to negate these prohibitions, as well as to assert Biblical sanction for homosexual relations, with such attempts being refuted by traditionalist responses.
