The Bible addresses homosexuality and distinguishes between homosexual behavior and homosexual inclinations or attractions. Engaging in homosexual acts is considered sinful, but the Bible does not classify experiencing temptation as a sin itself. Romans 1:26–27 connects homosexuality to the consequences of denying and disobeying God, while First Corinthians 6:9 states that those who practice homosexuality go against God's created order. However, it is important to note that the Bible also teaches that no sin is too great for the cleansing power of Jesus.

While the Bible does not explicitly mention gay marriage or same-sex marriage, it consistently refers to marriage as the union between a man and a woman. Passages like Genesis 2:24 establish marriage as the joining of a man and his wife. The context of marriage in the Bible consistently supports the union of a man and a woman for the purpose of building a family and providing stability.

Historical, psychological, and natural perspectives also argue against gay marriage. Marriage has traditionally been understood as a union between a man and a woman throughout human civilization. Psychologists argue that a marriage between a man and a woman, where both serve as positive gender role models, provides the best environment for raising well-adjusted children. Additionally, anatomically, men and women are designed to complement one another sexually, and procreation naturally occurs within a heterosexual relationship.

The Bible asserts that the truth about homosexuality being immoral and unnatural is evident to everyone. However, society often suppresses this truth by normalizing homosexuality and marginalizing opposing views. Christians are called to share the love of God and act as ministers of reconciliation, offering forgiveness and pointing to Jesus Christ. While homosexuality is considered a sin according to the Bible, Christians are encouraged to speak the truth in love and engage with gentleness and respect.

Regarding transgenderism, the Bible does not directly address it. However, the Bible's condemnations of homosexuality and transvestitism (Deuteronomy 22:5) can be considered relevant. Although the Bible does not mention conditions like hermaphroditism or other brain defects that may contribute to gender dysphoria, the existence of such conditions does not imply that embracing their effects is morally acceptable. While biological factors may contribute to gender dysphoria, it does not justify engaging in behaviors that contradict biblical teachings.

In summary, the Bible views homosexual behavior as sinful, while distinguishing between temptation and active sin. It upholds the traditional understanding of marriage as the union between a man and a woman. The Bible does not directly address transgenderism but identifies instances of gender confusion as sin. Christians are called to share the love of God, offer forgiveness, and speak the truth in love when addressing these matters.
