What NT and OT passages deal with homosexuality?

The main chapters in the Old and New Testament that deal with the issue of homosexuality are:

Old Testament: Leviticus 18:22, 29; 20:13; Genesis 19 (see also Genesis 18 for the context and problem of unrighteousness that existed in Sodom and Gomorrah).

New Testament: Romans 1:26-27 (Both lesbian and homosexual activities are condemned in these verses and shown as a further result of turning away from God. God only approves of monogamous, heterosexual relationships in marriage, condemning fornication and adultery before marriage and within marriage.); 1 Corinthians 6:9; 1 Timothy 1:10; and see also Jude 7.

For a Christian site that has done excellent research on this as well as other current moral issues in our society, please check out Probe Ministries at www.probe.org.
