[Stephen]

The reason why Christians cite the Old Testament for views on homosexuality is that the New Testament backs up the commands of the Old Testament. The King James Version doesn’t say it as clearly as modern versions do. Check out how the New American Standard Bible (NASB} phrases it. Pay special attention to 1 Corinthians. Rom 1:26-27 ‘For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.’ 1Cor 6:9-10 ‘Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators…nor adulterers,…nor homosexuals…will inherit the kingdom of God.’ 1Tim 1:8-11 ‘But we know that the Law is good, if one uses it lawfully, realizing the fact that law is not made for a righteous person, but for…homosexuals…and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching, according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I (Paul) have been entrusted.’ In 1 Timothy, it talks about who the Law (the moral Law of the Old Testament; specifically the Ten Commandments) is for. The Law, the Ten Commandments, is for homosexuals. What does the Law say to the homosexual? He is not to have any other god (either a graven image or a god made up in his mind) except the living Lord God. He is to honor his parents.
