Sexual Ethics

Question 1

What are the biblical arguments against homosexuality

Answer 1

Genesis 2:24- the only acceptable sexual relationship is between heterosexual partners

Leviticus 20:13- warns against homosexual practise, which carries the death penalty

Leviticus 18:22- states that homosexual practitioners will be “vomited out of the land”

Question 2

Weaknesses of arguments against homosexuality

Answer 2

The Old Testament condemnation of homosexuality might be a condemnation of pagan rites, not of natural homosexuality

If homosexuality is an inherent trait it can be condemned no more than a genetic predisposition to blue eyes or cystic fibrosis
