Introduction and Conclusion of The Coptic Orthodox Church's View on Homosexuality

Introduction

Homosexuality is almost as old as man. The first mention in recorded history concerns Lot and the well-known history of Sodom and Gomorrah, which took place over 4000 years ago. Throughout all those years, homosexuality has never been accepted as a normal behavior and people have never been open about it comfortably.

Conclusion

Homosexuality is a sin condemned by God in the Old and New Testaments. The Old Testament not only considered homosexuality a sin, but found it to be a capital offense that is punishable by death. "If a man lie with mankind as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination,  they shall surely be put to death, their blood shall be upon them." (Leviticus 20:13).
 

In the New Testament in Corinthians 6:9-10, it says: "No effeminate nor abusers of themselves with mankind shall inherit the kingdom of God."
A Christian person is one who basically seeks to obey the word of God. A homosexual is deceiving himself if he thinks he can practice the lifestyle and still go to heaven.
Homosexuality is a sin, and a homosexual who wants to recover should see   it as such and repent.
