What the Bible Says about the Gay Life
“That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other. And the men, instead of having normal sexual relations with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men, and as a result of this sin, they suffered within themselves the penalty they deserved. Since they thought it foolish to acknowledge God, he abandoned them to their foolish thinking and let them do things that should never be done.”
Romans 1:26-28 NLT

““Do not practice homosexuality, having sex with another man as with a woman. It is a detestable sin.”
Leviticus 18:22 NLT

People have often wonder whether homosexuality is actually a wrong thing to practice or not. Some have even argued that it’s not about it being practiced, but that it is only a sexual orientation which is natural. However, the most important factor for every matter is always the view of God.
God created this world and everything that is in it (Gen. 1:1; John 1:3). Just like a manufacturer, He has the guiding and operating principles of the world which He has faithfully provided a manual for to guide us. That manual is His world as contained in the Holy Bible. He is our Master; and as Master, we being the subjects, we must be submissive to His verdict and instructions for every matter.
Now, the word of God has provided the answer to this mystifying question - is homosexuality wrong? God hates the practice, and as seen in the scriptures, even long before our race, homosexuality has existed. God has since then passed His judgement concerning the subject. And it will be my utmost pleasure to inform you that God’s words are never void; His judgement stands irreversibly sure.
The practice of homosexuality does not go without it’s penalties. God has promised to punish anyone who indulges in it thereby defiling the tenets of the Master. The Bible declares that “It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the Living God” (Heb. 10:31). It is never an advisable option to incur God’s wrath.
However, friends, have you been involved in this evil; are you already guilty of this sexual perversion; and do you feel remorseful of your action? Be glad because there’s a way out.
“But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.”
1 John 1:9 NLT

The Lord God Almighty is a merciful God. He’s always willing to forgive those who genuinely seek His repentance.
Remember also that if you will only look unto Jesus for help, the temptation to yield to the evil of homosexuality can be overcome in your life. (See 1 Cor. 10:13.)

Well stated bro, God's word is never void. Homosexuality is an abomination before God and will forever be.
