Should the Christian church teach that homosexuality is wrong

The rights of the Homosexuals and their human rights arguments may seem all well and good but according to the sound teachings found throughout the Bible, Homosexuality is clearly wrong. Let me put it plainly for those who still misunderstand, Homosexuality is a SIN in the eyes of God.

The Bible from the very beginning speaks what every true Christian obeys. When God spoke to Israel, he said to Moses to make sure the people did not engage in unlawful and defiling sexual relations. In Leviticus Chapter 18 verse 22 says "Do Not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable." Later in Leviticus Chapter 20 verse 13, it says "If a man sleeps with a man as one sleeps with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable." And what is their punishment? Well according to the old testament laws, their punishment for the sin is death. For the book of laws (Leviticus) says "What they have done is perversion, their blood will be on their own heads."

Now we can zoom forward a bit more to the New Testament. When we do, we see Jesus preach the Gospel of forgiveness and love but at the same time, a gospel of holiness and truth. As Jesus himself said, he did not come to change to law but to fulfill it. Men and Women fell under the grasp of sin and they were spiraling out of control. Mankind's sins were at an all time high and what man needed most was forgiveness - forgiveness of his sins that none can erase. Rape, murder, genocides, sufferings, insolence, hatred, strife, captivity, slavery, subjugation, blasphemy are just some notable ones among many many sins of mankind. Homosexuality falls under the category of unlawful sexual relations - the reason why Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed. That city had everything from perversion, rape, sodomy, homosexuality and many other sexual crimes - for which God destroyed them because they became a blight to mankind.

But God is a merciful God. For since the creation of the world, God's invisible qualities - his eternal power and divine nature - have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made so that men are without excuse for their wayward ways. Although they knew God, they neither glorified him as their God or gave thanks to him for his wonderful works. They claimed to the wise but all their knowledge and attempts were just mere futility and they exchanged the real God's glory for idols of Gold - shaped like man, beasts birds and reptiles of this earth. With such foolish hearts they pursued their imaginations
