The case against homosexual acts can be made in two ways: biblically and socially. The biblical arguments will be presented first. God ordained heterosexuality, not homosexuality- God ordained heterosexual relationships when he created "male and female" and commanded them to have children (Gen.1:27-28). Sex was given a family context from the very beginning. God said, "A man (male) will leave father and mother and be united to his wife (female), and they will become one flesh" (Gen. 2:24). Paul makes it clear that "one flesh" implies sexual intercourse (1 Cor. 6:15-17). The writer of Hebrews proclaims that "marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexua

Homosexuality is socially undesirable. Homosexuality is associated with a whole cluster of socially undesirable characteristics. Psychological studies show that there is a disproportionately high degree of egocentricity, superciliousness, narcissism, masochism, and hostility associated with homosexuality. Homosexual crimes, some against other homosexuals, are among the most violent committed. These undesirable characteristics are cause for social concern. They counter the claim that homosexual behavior is purely private and, therefore, of no concern to society in general.

Homosexuality is condemned in Judges. One of the most horrifying sins in the Old Testament was provoked by homosexuals. When a man from Gibeah invited a traveler into his home, "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, 'Bringout the man who came to your house so we can have sex with him'" (Judges 19.22) The man urged the homosexual crowd: "Don't do such disgraceful thing" (v.24). In an attempt to appease them, he offered his virgin daughter and his guest's concubine to them. So the men "raped [the concubine] and abused her throughout the night, and at dawn they let her go" (v.25). When her master found the concubine limp on the doorstep the next morning, he cut her in twelve pieces and sent one piece to each of the twelve tribes. Everyone who saw it said, "Such a thing has never been seen or done, not since the day the Israelites came out of Egypt. Think about it! Consider it! Tell us what to do!" It is difficult to imagine a greater perversity growing out of evil that followed, the Levite saw giving his concubine to them as a less "disgraceful thing" than homosexuality (v.24).

In addition to the repeated biblical condemnations of homosexual practices, there are strong moral and social indications of the wrongness of this deviant sexual practice. The most important of these follow: Homosexuality is unnatural. Apart from any biblical statement, nature itself reveals that homosexuality is wrong. It is simply contrary to the natural use
