Leviticus 19:22-23 Sexual Prohibitions: Homosexuality and Bestiality

Our God loves the creation which He designed and structured. He loves us whom He created. Therefore, He came in the person of Jesus Christ to save us from our sins, when we deviate away from the purposes for which He designed us.

Homosexuality is a major topic of debate in recent years. From a biblical perspective, it is forbidden because it goes against what God purposed us to be and do in this world. He created male and female to marry each other in a one-flesh union to create children of that united flesh. Our sexual organs do not work to support homosexual behaviour. Every passage which mentions homosexuality condemns it as sin. Therefore, everyone who is sexually oriented towards the same sex is to remain single in faith toward God. It is not an easy burden to bear.

Bestiality (or zoophilia) is also an orientation away from God's designed purpose, which is also shown through the inability to be in a true marriage with these animals and produce children. It is also a point which can be encountered on the slippery slope of promoting alternative sexualities.
