Is being gay a sin? What does the Bible say?

from The Spiritual Bible · host The Brainbow

In this episode of The Spiritual Bible, we dive into one of the most controversial and misunderstood topics in modern Christianity: homosexuality. Is it really condemned in the Bible? Where did the word “homosexual” even come from and why wasn’t it in any Bible translation until 1946? We’ll unpack the most cited verses, explore mistranslations and cultural context, and ask: why is the church so obsessed with who someone loves?If my work inspires you, makes you think, or helps you on your own spiritual path, you can support me here: https://buymeacoffee.com/the.brainbow📖 1 Corinthians 6:9–10 mistranslation version"Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither the immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor 'homosexuals' nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor robbers will inherit the kingdom of God."📖 Genesis 19:1–5 "The two angels came to Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom... Before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, both young and old, all the people to the last man, surrounded the house; and they called to Lot, ‘Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us, so that we may know them.’”📖 Ezekiel 16:49“Behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, excess of food, and prosperous ease, but did not aid the poor and needy.”📖 Romans 1:26–27“For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. Their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural, and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in their own persons the due penalty for their error.”📖 Romans 11:24“For if you have been cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these natural branches be grafted back into their own olive tree.”📖 Matthew 7:1“Judge not, that you be not judged.”📖 Mark 12:31“You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” There is no other commandment greater than these.”📖 1 Corinthians 7:7–8 “I wish that all were as I myself am. But each has his own gift from God... To the unmarried and the widows I say that it is well for them to remain single as I do.”📖 Leviticus 18:22“You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.”📖 Leviticus 20:13“If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall be put to death; their blood is upon them.”Leviticus 19:19 “You shall not wear cloth of two kinds of material mixed together.”Leviticus 11:10 forbids eating shellfishLeviticus 19:27 “You shall not round off the hair on your temples or mar the edges of your beard.”
