* An abomination defines an action that is vicious or vile to god. In that homosexual sex is a sin in Christianity, it could be defined this way. However, God hates all sins equally so it is equally correct to say that gambling, lying, and saying god's name in vain are abominations if you use a religious definition. * If you use a non-religious definition, then this becomes a subjective question that different people will answer differently based on whether or not they believe homosexuality is vicious or vile. * Not in the way in which we use the word in modern usage. * The term abomination in modern usage is different than the way in which it was used 6000 years ago, or even 600 years ago for that matter! In the Hebrew Scriptures an abomination was something that defied a health code. A large portion of the Hebrew Scriptures were based on health codes. So certain codes of hygiene were developed and were seen as very important to follow to the exact degree. If broken, it was actually seen as a betrayal of your community, even immoral! Homosexuality, because of lack of knowledge and understanding was categorized as unclean and thus a break of one of the health codes, thus an abomination. However, eating shell fish, wearing fabric made of two different types of material, or eating meat and dairy in the same sitting were also considered "abominations". Most of these codes are not followed today because we recognize that they are simply health codes that existed for a specific community for a specific time. * ACTUALLY the above statement is not true about the Hebrews- although hygiene is very important to Jews, Homosexuality is forbidden in the bible not because it is 'unclean' but because it states so in passages, i.e., the 2 angels who came to Lot in Sodom were threatened by a mob (Gen 19:4-11) they called on Lot to bring out the men "that we may know them" know meaning have sexual relations....this was seen as sinful and the city was punished for it-
* There are many other references in the Old Testament, New Testament, and by various religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam etc..) against homosexulaity, But at the end of the day many people use the bible to define their homophobia or prejudice against homosexual people while still transgressing many other commandments from their holy scriptures, which is hypocritical.

∙ 12y agoThat question is irrelevant its roots are traced back to god now if you believe what ignorant religious people say about god then yes it is most definitely an abomination however if you listen to intelligent religious people then no, god supposedly created us all in his image and if something on earth exists god put it there for a purpose. Now if your smarter then both these groups you'll know that things are to complicated and random to be create by a higher form an whether you or someone else is gay is nothing but what it is it's not good and it sure as he'll ain't "bad, wrong or immoral". Oh not too mention 50% of marriages end in divorce I don't think humans take the whole marriage idea serious anymore, so for someone who is divorced to comment at all, in anyway, on marriage whether gay or not is preposterous, as comedians these days like to say "gay people have just a much right to be unhappy as a straight person"

∙ 13y agoyes, god does see homosexuality as "detestable" as written in The Bible, but understand this. he thinks that about homosexuality, NOT the person committing the act but the act itself. God loves each and every one of us as a father would love his children. He would never say that one of his children is an abomination, even if we fall short of his glory. nobody is perfect.

∙ 7y agoFirstly I would like to say that God loves everybody overwhelmingly. He does not hate us imperfect human beings (reason: he sent Jesus to die for every one), but hates sin as stated in Romans 5:8. Many people have a view that God and his followers hate people that are homosexual, but this is definitely not the case in the Bible. Romans 1:26-27 clearly states that it is wrong. And yet people still try to justify this verse, by changing it's clear meaning into something that would allow people to keep living comfortably in sin. God wants for us to come to him and experience his love, grace and a personal relationship with him. Overall bottom line is, if something is not done in obedience with God, than it's wrong, but it is evil to say that these people are abomination. Homosexuality is an abomination, but not the people.

∙ 9y agoIt is always dangerous to speak for God. If you believe in a higher power, hopefully you also believe in that God only dislikes bad choices. Since homosexuality is not a choice, God must not be against homosexuality.
Furthermore, if God created some people gay, there is no reason to think God created them to suffer loneliness.
People who cause harm are abominations. Gay people are not.

Why do Christians hate gays?
Because The Bible says homosexuality is wrong, and it is a sin. nobody says that we hate gays its just we dont agree with it. but if someone is being hateful that is not the way the bible says to handle the situation.According to the Bible you can't enter kingdom of God if you practice homosexuality.The question is a generalization that is false. There are people that are extremely uncomfortable with the concept. The Bible says that it is an abomination. The Bible also says that it is not our part to judge others, that right is reserved for God.
A whistling woman and a crowing hen is an abomination to the Lord?
yes the bible say so
Where in the Bible does it state it's stance on homosexuality?
The Bible's position on homosexuality can be found at the following biblical references. Note: The first two references are in the Old Testament, while the third one is from the New Testament.

For immediate reference a link to a searchable on-line Bible is available, below Leviticus 18:22 Leviticus 20:13 Romans 1:26-28
If homosexuality is against the teachings of the bible why does Jesus keep saying get behind me Satan?
haha, Well, first of all, I doubt that Jesus was referring to "homosexual sex" when making those comments, although a very entertaining interpretation of the texts I might add.As for homosexuality being 'against the bible' it is NOT! The problem is that many theologians throughout the ages have mistranslated scripture, using translations of translations and in the process not recognizing that certain words such as "homosexual" were never in the original greek or Hebrew texts, but in later European Protestant translations.As for the Hebrew scriptures "prohibition" of homosexual acts in Leviticus "a man shall not lie with a man as with womankind, that is an abomination" This statement was referring to a specific culture at a specific time. The book of Leviticus is primarily codes and regulations, which were created for a specific culture, at a specific time in history. In part these codes were created as a means for the Hebrews to define themselves from other cultures, but the primary reason for the creation of these codes was due to a lack of knowledge in regards to hygeine. In Leviticus it also states that eating shellfish is an abomination, yet most Christians and even many sects of Judaism have no issue with shrimp or lobster! Yet according to the Levitical codes, it is an 'abomination.' These codes were created primarily for health reasons, and are NOT to be taken as moral codes handed down by the divine to all of humankind for all of time.Thus, there is NO "SIN" in homosexuality, nor is there any TRULY VALID prohibition of homosexuality in the scriptures. Jesus himself NEVER ONCE mentions the issue of homosexuality. Jesus speaks in regards to what he deemed to be all major sins, however, he never once spoke on, or even implied anything on the issue of homosexuality. If homosexuality was a sin, Clearly he would have made some concise effort to clarify that to the people.For more information on the truth about homosexuality and the bible, Go tohttp://www.gaychurch.org/Gay_and_Christian_YES/calling_the_rainbow_nation_home/7_gac_the_clobber_passages.htm

Where in the new Bible does it refer to homosexuality?
It doesn't refer to homosexuality anywhere in the Bible. However, there are certain verses that can be interpreted as prohibitions against same-sex activity, particularly Leviticus 18:22. It's important to note, however, that different religions interpret these verses in different ways, and not all use them to ban homosexuality.

Why do gay people reject the truth that homosexuality is a mental disorder and that the bible says it can be cured?
The Bible does not say homosexuality can be cured. Also, the Bible was never meant to be a guide to the human brain. No study ever done has supported the idea that sexual orientation can be changed. There is not one single shred of evidence.
