Question published November 8, 2026

According to the word of God, the Scriptures, is homosexuality sinful?

Examine the passages of Scripture before reading the answer.

Scriptures to examine

Leviticus 18:22, Leviticus 20:13, Romans 1:18-32, and I Corinthians 6:9-11

Answer from the Scriptures

Yes, homosexuality is sinful. Sin, is transgression of God's law (I John 3:4). From the Scriptures you have read, homosexuality clearly violates God's law.

In addition to the Scriptures you read (Leviticus 18:22, Leviticus 20:13, Romans 1:18-32, and I Corinthians 6:9-11), from the beginning of creation God's design for marriage and sexual relations have been clearly established (Genesis 2:19-25 and Mark 10:6-9). To avoid fornication [unlawful sexual intercourse] every man is to have his own wife and every woman is to have her own husband (I Corinthians 6:13-7:5).

Does this bring more questions to mind for you? If so, that is great. I'd love to help you find those answers in the Scriptures. Contact me for a personal Bible study.
