Is homosexuality condemned in the scriptures?
I was asked this question by a reader in an email, and I said that I would give the scriptures on the forum.
1. If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. Leviticus 20:13.

Why I thought all this old testament stuff was done away? No!
2. Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind G733, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10.
This phrase: nor abusers of themselves with mankind G733
G733 ἀρσενοκοίτης
1.one who lies with a male as with a female, sodomite, homosexual

3. For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind=G733, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine; 1 Timothy 1:10.

4. And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. Romans 1:27.

It most assuredly is condemned in both the old and new testaments.
