The Bible unequivocally condemns intimate relations between humans and animals, considering such acts to be morally reprehensible. In the book of Exodus, a stern warning is issued against those who engage in such behavior, while Leviticus explicitly prohibits it, emphasizing the need to maintain the boundaries between humans and animals. Deuteronomy also denounces this practice, and the New Testament, in 1 Corinthians, lists it among the sinful behaviors that exclude individuals from inheriting the kingdom of God. The biblical authors, guided by God's law, view bestiality as a grave offense against His created order.

I warn you, as I did before, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
In like manner, Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, who indulged in sexual immorality and pursued strange flesh, are on display as an example of those who sustain the punishment of eternal fire.
Therefore God gave them over in the desires of their hearts to impurity for the dishonoring of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is forever worthy of praise! Amen.
I am afraid that when I come again, my God will humble me before you, and I will be grieved over many who have sinned earlier and have not repented of their acts of impurity, sexual immorality, and debauchery.
The man gave names to all the livestock, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam no suitable helper was found.
If a woman approaches any animal to mate with it, you must kill both the woman and the animal. They must surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.
