HOMO***UALS & LESBIANS REJECTED BY GOD
The Bible, The Word of God, says:
Leviticus 18:22
22 " 'Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is
detestable.
Leviticus 20:13
13 " 'If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them
have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood
will be on their own heads.
Romans 1:18-32
God's Wrath Against Mankind
18The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the
godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their
wickedness, 19since what may be known about God is plain to them,
because God has made it plain to them. 20For 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.
21For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor
gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish
hearts were darkened. 22Although they claimed to be wise, they became
fools 23and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to
look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.
24Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts
to ***ual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another.
25They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and wor****ped and served
created things rather than the Creator-who is forever praised. Amen.
26Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their
women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27In 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.
28Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the
knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what
ought not to be done. 29They have become filled with every kind of
wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder,
strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30slanderers, God-haters,
insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they
disobey their parents; 31they are senseless, faithless, heartless,
ruthless. 32Although they know God's righteous decree that those who
do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very
things but also approve of those who practice them.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10
9Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God?
Do not be deceived: Neither the ***ually immoral nor idolaters nor
adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homo***ual offenders 10nor thieves
nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit
the kingdom of God.
1 Timothy 1:8-11
8We know that the law is good if one uses it properly. 9We also know
that law[a] is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and
rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious; for those
who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, 10for adulterers and
perverts, for slave traders and liars and perjurers-and for whatever
else is contrary to the sound doctrine 11that conforms to the glorious
gospel of the blessed God, which he entrusted to me.

Genesis 19
Sodom and Gomorrah Destroyed
1 The two angels arrived at Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting
in the gateway of the city. When he saw them, he got up to meet them
and bowed down with his face to the ground.
2 My lords, he said, please turn aside to your servant's house.
You can wash your feet and spend the night and then go on your way
early in the morning. No, they answered, we will spend the night in
the square.
3 But he insisted so strongly that they did go with him and
entered his house. He prepared a meal for them, baking bread without
yeast, and they ate.
4 Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the
city of Sodom- both young and old- surrounded the house.
5 They called to Lot, Where are the men who came to you tonight?
Bring them out to us so that we can have *** with them.
6 Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him
7 and said, No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.
8 Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let
me bring them out to you, and you can do what you like with them. But
don't do anything to these men, for they have come under the
protection of my roof.
9 Get out of our way, they replied. And they said, This fellow
came here as an alien, and now he wants to play the judge! We'll treat
you worse than them. They kept bringing pressure on Lot and moved
forward to break down the door.
10 But the men inside reached out and pulled Lot back into the
house and shut the door.
11 Then they struck the men who were at the door of the house,
young and old, with blindness so that they could not find the door.
12 The two men said to Lot, Do you have anyone else here- sons-in-
law, sons or daughters, or anyone else in the city who belongs to you?
Get them out of here,
13 because we are going to destroy this place. The outcry to the
LORD against its people is so great that he has sent us to destroy it.
14 So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged
to marry his daughters. He said, Hurry and get out of this place,
because the LORD is about to destroy the city! But his sons-in-law
thought he was joking.
15 With the coming of dawn, the angels urged Lot, saying, Hurry!
Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be
swept away when the city is punished.
16 When he hesitated, the men grasped his hand and the hands of
his wife and of his two daughters and led them safely out of the city,
for the LORD was merciful to them.
17 As soon as they had brought them out, one of them said, Flee
for your lives! Don't look back, and don't stop anywhere in the plain!
Flee to the mountains or you will be swept away!
18 But Lot said to them, No, my lords, please!
19 Your servant has found favour in your eyes, and you have shown
great kindness to me in sparing my life. But I can't flee to the
mountains; this disaster will overtake me, and I'll die.
20 Look, here is a town near enough to run to, and it is small.
Let me flee to it- it is very small, isn't it? Then my life will be
spared.
21 He said to him, Very well, I will grant this request too; I
will not overthrow the town you speak of.
22 But flee there quickly, because I cannot do anything until you
reach it. (That is why the town was called Zoar.)
23 By the time Lot reached Zoar, the sun had risen over the land.
24 Then the LORD rained down burning sulphur on Sodom and Gomorrah
- from the LORD out of the heavens.
25 Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, including
all those living in the cities- and also the vegetation in the land.
26 But Lot's wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.
27 Early the next morning Abraham got up and returned to the place
where he had stood before the LORD.
28 He looked down towards Sodom and Gomorrah, towards all the land
of the plain, and he saw dense smoke rising from the land, like smoke
from a furnace.
29 So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered
Abraham, and he brought Lot out of the catastrophe that overthrew the
cities where Lot had lived.
