Homosexuality is known and practiced worldwide. However, that doesn't mean that it is right. A common argument against homosexuality is that it is inherited, and that God can understand homosexuals. But, that is not the case. Homosexuality is not inherited, it is learned. Those who practice homosexuality are violating the word of God, and by their lifestyle calling Him a liar. This is seen in Genesis 19:1-10, and Judges 19:22-26. God has much to say concerning homosexuality.

In Genesis 19:1-10, homosexuality is seen in the city Sodom. Sodom was a very wicked place. It was full of adulterers, whoremongers, those filled with envy, unrighteousness, fornicators, murderers, sorcerers, and even whisperers. However, God sent two angels to Sodom to try to save Lot. Lot who was a very wicked man, tried to sell his virgin daughters to the two men. The angels said to Lot, "This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them." God says in his word that the wicked will be judged. And God never breaks his promises.

Homosexuality is considered a wicked sin. Those who practice such a sin are violating the Word of God, and by their lifestyle calling God a liar. Sin is similar to cancer. When the mind and body become cancerous to the point that people don't retain God in their knowledge, God gives them over to a reprobate mind. A reprobate mind is depraved, rejected by God, and damned to hell for eternity. This can be seen in Romans 1:29-31 when God explains sin, and the results of sin. God says in Romans 3:23, "For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God."

Romans 6:23 says, "For the wages of sin is death, but the Gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." In other words, there is a cure for sin. God is patient and fore bearing. Though he won't kill you for sinning, he doesn't ignore sin either. Instead he gives sinners a chance to repent and get saved. Repentance means to change one's mind, but if one doesn't change, and continues in sin, he is given God's wrath on judgment day and cast into the lake of fire. God judges according to the heart, and those with hearts hardened towards him are sentenced to eternal damnation. Homosexuals have hearts hardened towards God. They can of course repent and stop their wicked deeds, and spend eternity in heaven
