Have
you seen Mel Gibson's movie, The Passion of the Christ?
Update:
October 16, 1998
This page is designed to shed the light of God's love on
the social, political, and religious controversies that swirl around the issue
of homosexuality. However, real born-again Christians do not harass gay or lesbian
persons mentally or physically. The October 1998 murder in Wyoming of Matthew
Shepard was a crime as well as a sin of the worst order. All persons connected
with the real Christian right should abstain from such activity and should encourage
all others to do so, also. True, the Bible clearly labels homosexuality as a sin.
However, this fact must never be justification for mental and physical harassment
of any degree. If you have something to say to gays and lesbians, say
"God loves you and the power of the Holy Spirit can deliver you from this abnormal lifestyle."

Genesis
19 (This is the classic
story of how God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah because of homosexuality.)
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 sex with them." . . .24 Then the Lord rained down burning sulfur 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.
Leviticus
18:22
Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable.
Judges
19:22
While they were enjoying themselves, some of the wicked men
of the city surrounded the house. Pounding on the door, they shouted to the old
man who owned the house, "Bring out the man who came to your house so we
can have sex with him."
Romans
1:26
Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their
women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27 In 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. [What is that penalty?]
