What does the New Testament say about homosexuality?

Answer

The Bible is consistent through both Old and New Testaments in confirming that homosexuality is sin (Genesis –13; Leviticus ; ; Romans –27; 1 Corinthians ; 1 Timothy ; Jude ). In this matter, the New Testament reinforces what the Old Testament had declared since the Law was given to Moses (Leviticus ). The difference between the Ancient and New Testaments is that the New Testament offers hope and restoration to those caught up in the sin of homosexualitythrough the redeeming dominance of Jesus. It is the same hope that is offered to anyone who chooses to receive it (John ; –18).

God’s standards of holiness did not change with the coming of Jesus, because God does not modify (Malachi ; Hebrews ). The New Testament is a continuing revelation of God’s interaction with humanity. God hated idolatry in the Old Testament (Deuteronomy ), and He still hates it in the New (1 John ). What was immoral in the Old Testament is still immoral in the New.

The New Testament says that homosexuality is a “shameful lust” (Rom

Leviticus

“You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.”[1] It is not a surprise that this verse seems to say that gay male sex is forbidden in the eyes of God. The dominant view of western Christianity forbids homosexual relations. This verse is one of the clobber passages that people cite from the Bible to condemn homosexuality. This essay first looks at the various ways the verse is translated into the English Bible and then explores some of the strategies used to create an affirming interpretation of what this route means for the LGBTQ community. More specifically, it presents the interpretation of K. Renato Lings in which Lev. refers to male-on-male incest.

While Lev. is used to condemn homosexuality, we must realize that the term “homosexuality” was only recently coined in the English language. So did this term occur in ancient Israel? Charles D. Myers, Jr. confirms that none of the prophets in the Hebrew Bible bring up homosexuality.[2] He also contends that in ancient Israel homosexual relations were viewed as an ancient Near East issue.

Mary & George: homosexual relationships in the time of King James I were forbidden – but not uncommon

The Sky TV series Mary & George tells the story of the Countess of Buckingham, Mary Villiers (Julianne Moore), who moulded her son George (Nicholas Galitzine) to seduce King James I. She believed that, as the king’s lover, her son could become wealthy and wield power and influence.

No one identified as a “homosexual” in King James’s time (). The word was only coined in the Victorian period and sexuality was not used to construct identities as it is today.

There was also a more fluid concept of gender. Male and female bodies were seen as fundamentally the same, with sexual differences determined by the way bodily humours (fluids) flowed through them.

A man who desired sex with other men was seen as having an imbalance in his humours – and was blamed for failing to control it.

Sexual acts between men were forbidden by the church, citing passages from the the Bible. Corinthians classed the “effeminate” and “abusers of themselves with mankind” among the “unrighteous
