The Bible talks about homosexuality in several passages, notably in:
- Leviticus 18:22 and Leviticus 20:13, which state that lying with a man as with a woman is an abomination and punishable by death in the Old Testament context.
- Romans 1:26-27, where Apostle Paul describes homosexuality as contrary to natural relations and a result of rejecting God.
- 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, which includes those who practice homosexuality in a list of sinners who will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
- Jude 1:7, which links the immorality of Sodom and Gomorrah to unnatural desires, often interpreted as homosexual acts.
- Genesis 19 recounts the story of Sodom and Gomorrah, associated with sexual immorality including homosexual acts.
These passages have been the focus of much theological discussion and interpretation on the biblical view of homosexuality.
