The Bible clearly condemns the sin of homosexuality. While there are many challenges to this statement, the fact remains: God abominates what Paul describes as being "against nature". Certainly God's people must think clearly concerning this issue, and that means to think biblically.

"The Bible clearly teaches that homosexuality is a sin against God and a crime in the civil sphere. As a result, it is quite common for proud men and women, in both society and the church, to look down upon homosexuality and homosexuals in an unbiblical manner. The Bible teaches that there is a sin worse than sodomy: the rejection of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. In Mt 11:20-24, the Lord Christ pronounces woes upon the cities of His day that had witnessed His mighty works, but did not repent. He states in v.24, "But I say to you that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment than for you." Don't fool yourself into thinking that because you haven't done any really big sins (e.g., homosexuality), you're o.k. in God's sight. You need forgiveness through the blood of Christ for all the sins you have committed. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved."

“ Bold and fearless Sermon! ” This is the 3rd in a series of sermons by Pastor Butler mainly expounding the civil/political use of God’s law on the series of sins of 1 Tim 1:8-11. I look forward to the rest of the series.
Pastor Butler condemns the moral schizophrenia of both modern evangelicalism and civil religion in the public square.
He outlines the character of this sin from God’s created order, the destruction of Sodom, the Old Testament penalty of death, and the New Testament confirmation of the nature of this evil. Accordingly, he calls for the sin once more to be criminalized (along with abortion) as the least Christians should settle for and boldly calls for the civil magistrate to repent for being unholy, ungodly and unrighteous before Christ the Lord! God requires it from the magistrate.
But whilst he seems to support Rick Warren’s opposition to firing squad execution for sodomites, he leaves unstated what criminal legal penalty actually should be enacted today. Are sodomites simply to be left to the inward punishments of vile affections, reprobate sense and strong delusions or should they be outwardly punished two or more to a cell along with the rest of the fornicators, kidnappers, liars and perjurers who are contrary to sound doctrine in 1 Tim 1?
