What does the Old and New Testament Scriptures say about homosexuality?

Many Christian scholars typically interpret the Old and New Testament scriptures as condemning homosexual acts.  According to the Old Testament Hebrew Scriptures, the verses in the book of Leviticus explicitly prohibit sexual relations between men, describing them as an “abomination”(Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13). Many Christian scholars argue that this reflects a clear divine law against homosexual acts. According to the New Testament Christian Scriptures, Paul describes both men and women who exchanged “natural relations for unnatural ones” (Romans 1:26-27).  Many Christian scholars interpret this as a condemnation of homosexual acts, suggesting that such behaviors are contrary to the natural order designed by God. According to 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 and 1 Timothy 1:10,  the wrongdoers who will not inherit the kingdom of God are mentioned here. The terms translated as “homosexuals” or “men who have sex with men” in modern translations are interpreted by many Christian scholars as referring to those engaging in homosexual acts. Many Christian scholars argue that these passages are not merely cultural or ceremonial laws (like dietary restrictions or clothing regulations) but reflect moral laws that are timeless and universally applicable. They often discuss these scriptures within the broader context of Christian teachings on sexual morality, which emphasize sexual relations within the confines of heterosexual marriage.
