What Does the Bible Say About Homosexuality?

Gay marriage is still under debate in many countries.  In the United States, however, in 2015 the Supreme Court declared gay marriage to be legal nationwide.  Thereafter, Internet searches on the topic skyrocketed.  One of the most popular questions asked was, "What does the Bible say about gay marriage? 

The Bible does not specifically comment on legal rights involving marriage between people of the same sex. A more fundamental question is, What does the Bible say about homosexuality? 

Note: Read Romans 1:21-31. That will tell you that since people did not obey God's laws, statutes and rules. He left them to their undesired sexual practices, which he deeply disapproves of man having sexual desires for man and women having sexual desires for women. That alone should tell everyone that if Jehovah God does not want them to be together, which is why he made Adam and Eve for each other, and not Adam and Adam or Eve for Eve, that same sex people should not be married. These Witnesses, although trying to teach the truth are kind and thoughtful and concerned for others, not to mention  following God's Laws, are trying not to offend anyone.  If they are trying to teach the truth of the Bible, they should not be holding back on the truth. If people cannot face the truth, then they have been  sheltered way too much and their parents just been feeding them tales of fantasy.   In the Bible, Ecclesiastes 7:9:  It says: "Do not hurry yourself in your spirit to become offended for the taking of offense is what rests in the bosom of the stupid ones. Also read, Ecclesiastes 7:21, 22. That is one example of what the Bible/God feels about homosexuality.

Without closely examining the Bible, many people think that they know the answer-but their answers are contradictory!  Some say that the Bible is clearly anti-gay. Others claim  that the Biblical command to "love your neighbor" supports any and all sexual lifestyles.  -Romans 13:9. 

Note: They would be very, very mistaken. Jehovah is talking about love for a friend, not sexual desires or love for the same sex-as in getting married and having sex with that same sex person, that is sick! That is not natural. That is why God paired Adam and Eve.
