Question
Can you give scriptures in the Bible where it states that man should not lie with man or womam with woman or where it says that being a homosexual is wrong?


Answer
Homosexual relations are spoken against both in the Old Testament and the New Testament:

Lev 18:22

22 "'Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable.
(from New International Version)


Rom 1:24-27

24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator-who is forever praised. Amen.

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.
(from New International Version)
