Mark 7:20-23 (NIV) " What comes out of a man is what makes him 'unclean.' For from within, out of men's hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit,, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. All these evils come from inside and make a man 'unclean.' "
Homosexuality = sexual immorality
Want more examples?
Since God=Jesus=The Holy Spirit, there are plenty of passages in the Old Testament as well that warns against homosexuality. You just won't find it in the New Testament. Does God have to say it twice for you to believe it? LOL
Here's some more PROOF for you:
Lev 18:22 (NLT) “Do not practice homosexuality; it is a detestable sin.
Lev 20:13 (NLT) “The penalty for homosexual acts is death to both parties. They have committed a detestable act and are guilty of a capital offense.
Rom 1:24-26 (NLT) So God let them go ahead and do whatever shameful things their hearts desired. As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each other’s bodies. 25 Instead of believing what they knew was the truth about God, they deliberately chose to believe lies… 26 That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other.
1 Cor 6:9-10 (NLT) Don’t you know that those who do wrong will have no share in the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin… adulterers, male prostitutes, homosexuals… none of these will have a share in the Kingdom of God.
1 Tim 1:10 (NLT) These laws are for people who are sexually immoral, for homosexuals… and for those who do anything else that contradicts the right teaching
Jude 1:7 (NLT) And don’t forget the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighboring towns, which were filled with sexual immorality and every kind of sexual perversion. Those cities were destroyed by fire and are a warning of the eternal fire that will punish all who are evil.
Gen 19:13 (NLT) For we [angels] will destroy [Sodom] completely. The stench of the place has reached the LORD, and he has sent us to destroy it.”
Psa 9:17 (NLT) The wicked will go down to the grave. This is the fate of all the nations who ignore God.
