King James Version (KJV)
Leviticus 18:22 Context
19Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness. 20Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour's wife, to defile thyself with her. 21And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD. 22Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. 23Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion. 24Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you: 25And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.

3 years AgoLeah for verse 22It is God 's word. The son of God Jesus died for our sins so that we may repent and be forgiven. In the Heavenly Father 's eyes, this is a abomination disgust, filthy, dirty . Whether you think it is right or wrong, it is written that God finds it to his dislike. I think you could even say he hates the thought of same sex relationships. It is my opinion. For he shall be the judge in the end. God Help Us all!Flag

3 years AgoJohn for verse 22I am willing to accept the biblical verse as it is written. Regardless of what version of the Bible you read, the message is the same. God alone can judge the individuals who practice homosexuality, we need not worry ourselves over their sins, whether or not they see the Kingdom of Heaven is up to God. Just keep the topic out of my personal space, that is MY unalienable right. The Bible is clear regardless.Flag
