What Does the Bible Say About Homosexuality/ The Bible's Answer

God created humans to engage in sex only within the arrangement of marriage between a male and female. (Genesis 1:27, 28; Leviticus 18:22; Proverbs 5:18, 19) The Bible condemns sexual activity that is not between a husband and wife, whether it is homosexual or heterosexual conduct. (1 Corinthians 6:18) This includes intercourse, fondling another person's genitals, and engaging in oral or anal sex.

While the Bible disapproves of homosexual acts, it does not condone hatred of homosexuals or homophobia.  Instead, Christians are directed to "respect everyone." - 1 PETER 2:17, Good News Translation.

Can a person be born homosexual?

The Bible doesn't comment directly on the biology of homosexual desires, though it acknowledges that we are all born with a tendency to go against what God commands. (Romans 7:21-25)  Rather than focus on the cause of homosexual desires, however, the Bible prohibits homosexual acts.
