Where in the bible does it say gay is bad
What does the Bible say about existence a lesbian?
Answer
Some are under the assumption that, while the Bible condemns lgbtq+ sex between men, it nowhere condemns being a lesbian/lesbianism. Leviticus and note men having sex with other men, but say nothing of women having sex with other women. In the Sodom and Gomorrah account in Genesis 19, the men of the cities wanted to gang rape other men. First Corinthians mentions effeminate men, very likely referring to homosexuals, but does not mention lesbians. So, does the Bible in truth condemn male homosexuality, but not lesbianism?
Romans puts this invalid assumption to rest: “Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged innate relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion” (emphasis added). Clearly, this passage puts lesbianism on equal land with male homosexuality. Lesbianism is described

24Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, 25because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.
26For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged spontaneous relations for those that are contrary to nature; 27and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
28And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done.29They were filled with all style of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are occupied of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips,30slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, dis
What does the Bible declare about bisexuality?
Answer
The Bible nowhere directly mentions bisexuality. However, it is clear from the Bible’s denunciations of homosexuality that bisexuality would also be considered sinful. Leviticus declares having sexual relations with the equal sex to be an abomination. Romans condemns sexual relations between the equal sex as abandoning what is natural. First Corinthians states that homosexual offenders will not inherit the kingdom of God. These truths apply equally to bisexuals and to homosexuals.
The Bible tells us that a person becomes bi or homosexual because of sin (Romans ). This does not necessarily signify sins the person has committed. Rather, it refers to sin itself. Sin warps, twists, and perverts everything in creation. Bisexuality and homosexuality are caused by sin "damaging" us spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically. Sin is the plague, and bisexuality is simply one of the symptoms.
Many Christians mistakenly concentrate on bisexuality and homosexuality as particularly evil sins. The Bible nowhere describes homosexuality
What the New Testament Says about Homosexuality
The Fourth R Volume May-June
Mainline Christian denominations in this country are bitterly divided over the question of homosexuality. For this reason it is significant to ask what light, if any, the New Testament sheds on this controversial issue. Most people apparently assume that the New Testament expresses strong contradiction to homosexuality, but this simply is not the case. The six propositions that follow, considered cumulatively, lead to the finding that the New Testament does not provide any direct guidance for understanding and making opinions about homosexuality in the up-to-date world.
Proposition 1: Strictly speaking, the New Testament says nothing at all about homosexuality.
There is not a single Greek synonyms or phrase in the entire New Testament that should be translated into English as “homosexual” or “homosexuality.” In fact, the very notion of “homosexuality”—like that of “heterosexuality,” “bisexuality,” and even “sexual orientation”—is essentially a new concept that would simply own been unintelligible to
