For Homosexuality, called Sodomy in scripture, God says plainly and clearly in Genesis 13:13, Leviticus 18:22, Romans 1:27, I Timothy 1:8-10 what He thinks about Homosexuality. It is an abomination and is not natural.

Deuteronomy 22:5 A woman must not wear men's clothing, nor a man wear woman's clothing, for the Lord your God detests anyone who does this.

1 Corinthians 6:9 Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders.

For drinking God continually warns against it and against being deceived by it. The wise man simply stays away from it all together. There are many verses on this subject but I only list a few. A search online can give you much more. Leviticus 10:9, Numbers 6:3, Judges 13:4, Proverbs 20:1, 23:31, Habakkuk 2:5, Romans 14:21, Ephesians 5:18 (by the way - excess in this verse means SIN like it does in Matthew 23:25 or I Peter 4:3,4)

Answer1. Homosexality

Actually, homosexuality is rarely mentioned.

First, any reference to Leviticus or the rest of the Old Testament based on it can be ignored. Levitical Law was superceded by the New Covenant in Jesus Christ. Those who cite Leviticus 18 as a passage against homosexuality fail to mention also that just a few verses either side are passages condemning wearing two different kinds of cloth, clipping the sides of your hair and eating pork. Christians are not bound by Levitical Law or we would still stone adulterers, ostracise women during menstruation and be circumcised if a male. This cherrypicking of scripture to suit one's own prejudices is wrong. And to say that God doesn't 'like' homosexuals is even moe wong. God loves everyone - unconditionally, even homosexuals, even bigots who use scripture wrongly to back up their own prejudices.

In the New Testament the only references come from Paul. Even here Paul never refers to a normal homosexual relationship as we would know today. He uses the term <arsenokoi> which does not mean 'homosexuals' but 'pagan homosexual prostitutes' and in each case Paul mentions this, it is in the context of his condemning Christians (eg in Corinth) who purport to be Christian and yet still practise pagan rituals with the said prostitutes. Moreover, in Romans Paul is condemmning those who force others (or do so themselves by choice) to leave their natural sexuality (whether homosexual or heterosexual) and go outside their natural tendency, again or the sake of pagan worship.

Nowhere in scripture is the sort of commited gay relationship we would know today ever mentioned, except to allued that certain relationships (eg Ruth/Naomi, David/Jonathan) may well have been homosexual.

Jesus had absolutely nothing to say on the matter. o nowhere in scripture does it ever say God doesn't 'like' what we would term as a 'homosexual'.

2, Drunkenness

As for drunkenness. this is different. Again, the only verses that specifically mention the 'evils of drink' are Levitical or are a few verses in Paul that again are often taken out of context and without due regard of the kind of people to whom he was writing.

It s recorded in the gospels that Jesus enjoyed a party - he was known as an 'imbiber' -in other words he enjoyed a drink. On one occasion the pompous pharisees who claimed to be holier-than-thou, who took scripture as ultra-literal despite it making their and others' lives a misery, pointed their fingers at Jesus in a very disapproving way because he liked to party. ' But I have come to give you life', he said, 'and life in all its fullness'. Therefore for Christians all over the world this means that we must put God in the centre of our lives first, we should love others as we would love ourselves, and we are to enjoy life to the full. That means that parties and drinking are totally acceptable.

However, we are warned that drinking to excess - and especially wanton drunkenness -- is wrong. It is wrong on so many counts as it can lead to violence, sexual promiscuity, illness and addiction, ruining lives rather than being able to live life to the full. This is a sin as it violates Christ's teaching. But drinking in moderation,socially and for pleasure is perfectly acceptable; if it was acceptable to Jesus then it must be acceptable to us.
