What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate." -Matthew 19:4-6

20 2. The Clear Biblical Teaching on Sex and Marriage B.The Negative ____________ Against Homosexuality

21 2. The Clear Biblical Teaching on Sex and Marriage B.The Negative Prohibitions Against Homosexuality

22 2. The Clear Biblical Teaching on Sex and Marriage B.The Negative Prohibitions Against Homosexuality 1. The Sodom and Gomorrah Account (Genesis 18:20-21;19:4-8; Jude 1:7)

23 Genesis 18:20-21 20And the LORD said, "The outcry of Sodom and Gomorrah is indeed great, and their sin is exceedingly grave. 21"I will go down now, and see if they have done entirely according to its outcry, which has come to Me; and if not, I will

24 Genesis 19:4-8 4Before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both young and old, all the people from every quarter; 5and they called to Lot and said to him, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may have relations with them." 6But Lot went out to them at the doorway, and shut the door behind him, 7and said, "Please, my brothers, do not act wickedly. 8"Now behold, I have two daughters who have not had relations with man; please let me bring them out to you, and do to them whatever you like; only do nothing to these men, inasmuch as they have come under the shelter of my roof."

25 Jude 1:7 just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, since they in the same way as these indulged in gross immorality and went after strange flesh, are exhibited as an example in undergoing the punishment of eternal fire.

26 2. The Clear Biblical Teaching on Sex and Marriage B.The Negative Prohibitions Against Homosexuality 2. The Leviticus Texts Leviticus 18:22- You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination. Leviticus 20:13- If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltiness is upon them.

27 2. The Clear Biblical Teaching on Sex and Marriage B.The Negative Prohibitions Against Homosexuality 3. The New Testament Texts -Romans 1:26-27 -1 Corinthians 6:9-10 -1 Timothy 1:8-11

28 Romans 1:26-27 26For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, 27and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.

29 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 9Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.

30 1 Timothy 1:8-11 8But we know that the Law is good, if one uses it lawfully, 9realizing the fact that law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers 10and immoral men and homosexuals and kidnappers and liars and perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching, 11according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted.
