The Bible teaches that human relationships and sexuality are a gift from God, intended to be expressed within the boundaries of heterosexual marriage between one man and one woman. In 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 and 1 Timothy 1:9-10, certain behaviors are identified as contrary to God's design, while Leviticus 18:22 prohibits male same-sex relations. Jesus affirms the creation account in Mark 10:6-9, highlighting the importance of male-female relationships, and Hebrews 13:4 emphasizes the honor and sanctity of marriage. The Bible consistently presents marriage as a sacred institution, and its teachings on human relationships are rooted in a deep respect for God's creation and design.

Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who submit to or perform homosexual acts, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor verbal abusers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
However, from the beginning of creation, ‘God made them male and female.’ ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.”
Marriage should be honored by all and the marriage bed kept undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.
We realize that law is not enacted for the righteous, but for the lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinful, for the unholy and profane, for killers of father or mother, for murderers, for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave traders and liars and perjurers, and for anyone else who is averse to sound teaching
Jesus answered, “Have you not read that from the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’ ? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.”
If a man lies with a man as with a woman, they have both committed an abomination. They must surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.
There were even male shrine prostitutes in the land. They imitated all the abominations of the nations the LORD had driven out before the Israelites.
He banished the male shrine prostitutes from the land and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.
He also tore down the quarters of the male shrine prostitutes that were in the house of the LORD, where the women had woven tapestries for Asherah.
