The Bible And Pride Month: Part 1 (Old Testament)

Our society has proclaimed June to be Pride Month.  We are suppose to celebrate and applaud homosexuality and transgenderism.  But the ultimate authority is God, so we turn to God and his Word for truth and reality.  In Part 1 we will look at the Old Testament.  

(Genesis 1:27)"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them." (ESV) 

(Genesis 2:24)"Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh." (ESV)

(Genesis 19:1-29) In this passage God destroyed the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah because of their great wickedness.  Here the sin of homosexuality shows how far down the path of depravity and wickedness the people had gone.  This is where the term sodomy came from.  

(Leviticus 18:22)"You shall not lie with a male as with a woman, it is an abomination." (ESV) 

(Leviticus 20:13)"If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them." (ESV) 

(Deuteronomy 22:5)"A woman shall not wear a man's garment, nor shall a man put on a woman's cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the LORD your God." (ESV)

(Judges 19:22-30) This passage is similar to the Genesis 19:1-29 account of Sodom and Gomorrah.  Here the nation of Israel had descended far down the path of wickedness and depravity, illustrated by the sin of homosexuality.  They had become just like Sodom and Gomorrah.   

Homosexuality and transgenderism are sinful lifestyles that are an abomination to God.  They should not be celebrated and applauded.
