>>Here are some biblical references for the homosexuality issue:

>>   "You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female;
>>    it is an abomination."
>>			     Leviticus 18:22  (NASB)

>>   "If there is a man who lies with a male as those who
>>    lie with a woman, both of them have committed a
>>    destestable act;..."

>>			     Leviticus 20:13  (NASB)

>>   "For this reason God gave them over to degrading
>>    passions; for their women exchanged the natural function
>>    for that which was unnatural, and in the same way
>>    also the men abandoned the natural function of the women and
>>    burned in their desire toward one another, men with men
>>    committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons
>>    the due penalty of their error. And just as they did not
>>    see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over
>>    to a depraved mind, to do things which are not proper,.."

>>			     Romans 1:26-28  (NASB)


>>    "Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the Kingdom of God?
>>     Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral not idolaters
>>     nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
>>     nor thieves not the greedy nor drunkards nor swindlers will
>>     inherit the kingdom of God.
>>     And that is what some of you [the Christians of Corinth] 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."

>>			       1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (NIV)
