Question
Could you possible direct me to the specific parts of bible text which admonish homosexuality. In all the discussions on this subject, I have never once heard one specifc reference cited.

Thank you.

Answer
In the early chapters of Genesis God's will for Mankind was clearly enunciated..

Gen 1:27-28
27 So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.

28 God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number;
NIV

Man and Woman were created to multiply and fill the earth;God gave them sexual organs to perform the task
Gen 2:24
24 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.
NIV
Here again in the above verses God's will is quite clearly spelled out that a Man be united with his WIFE (singular)

Rom 1:26-27
26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural 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 indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.
NIV
In Romans 1:26-27 God calls homosexuality and lesbianism a perversion. It is a perversion of his original purpose for mankind and is truly a damnable sin. Sodom and Gomorrah clearly illustrated this point.
