The Bible forbids sexual relations outside of marriage and sexual relations between people of the same sex (homosexuality or lesbianism). The Bible warns, "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 male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God" (1 Corinthians 6:9-10). The Bible tells us, "Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were enflamed with lust for one another. men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion" (Romans 1:26-27).

Instead of encouraging what God forbids by endorsing same sex marriages or blessing such unions, as Christians we will want to reach out to people caught up in this sin and lead them to repentance. For "the Lord ... is patient, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance" (2 Peter 3:9). "As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live (Ezekiel 33:11). The Bible tells us that Jesus "is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world" (1 Jon 2:2). "The blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from every sin" (1 John 1:7).

As Christians we have the responsibility in humility to call to repentance those we know have fallen into sin. "Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted" (Galatians 6:1).
