| | Homosexuality - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Homosexuality in Japan, variously known as shudo or nanshoku, terms influenced by Chinese literature, has been documented for over one thousand years and was an integral part of Buddhist monastic life and the samurai tradition. | | | By the time of the Crusades, the militaries of Europe had largely switched gears, believing that homosexuality was sinful and therefore had no place in an army that served their perception of God's will. | | | Groups not influenced by the Abrahamic religions have commonly regarded homosexuality as sacred or neutral. |

| | Another Christian objection to homosexuality is that it is condemned in the Bible, an argument that is meaningful to those who accept that the Bible is the infallible word of God, but which is meaningless to the majority who do not accept this. | | | Homosexuality was known in ancient India; it is explicitly mentioned in the Vinaya (monastic discipline) and prohibited. | | | But while there is no doubt that the Bible condemns homosexuality, it also stipulates that women should be socially isolated while menstruating, that parents should kill their children if they worship any god other than the Christian God and that those who work on the Sabbath should be executed. |

| | The modern arguments in favor of homosexuality have thus been insufficient to overcome the evidence that homosexual behavior is against divine and natural law, as the Bible and the Church, as well as the wider circle of Jewish and Christian (not to mention Muslim) writers, have always held. | | | Homosexual desires, however, are not in themselves sinful. | | | In Romans 1, Paul attributes the homosexual desires of some to a refusal to acknowledge and worship God. |

| | Homosexuality in the Bible |
| | Homosexuals (those "that defile themselves with mankind") are included on the list of lawless, disobedient, unholy, and profane people. | | | Homosexuals (those "without natural affection") and their supporters (those "that have pleasure in them") are "worthy of death." 1:31-32 | | | Some commentators have suggested that Ham committed homosexual rape on his drunken father, and that this was why Ham's descendants were eternally punished with slavery. |

| | Homosexuality is being hotly debated today in church and society. | | | In time I believe that reasonable people will abandon the claim that faithful, monogamous sexual relationships between persons of the same sex are either destructive of society or obnoxious to nature and God. | | | It does not matter what particular passages on the subject of homosexuality say, even if Paul wrote them, if they are not in harmony with his own supreme insights. |

| | Not everyone who says they are Christian is a Christian; and not every Christian who holds the belief that homosexuality is wrong is not homophobic. | | | It is also of the New Testament, or the Covenant of Grace, which we are under. | | | Also on the fifth day according to Genesis 1, God's plan for His creation was to "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth." Leviticus 18 is written concerning sexual immorality including homosexuality and sleeping with one's relatives. |

| | While the causes of this are somewhat unclear, it is likely that increased class conflict alongside the Gregorian reform movement in the Catholic Church were two important factors. | | | The assumption in ancient Greece is that men (less is known about women) can respond erotically to either sex, and the vast majority of men who engaged in same-sex relationships were also married (or would later become married). | | | The latter part of the twelfth through the fourteenth centuries, however, saw a sharp rise in intolerance towards homosexual sex, alongside persecution of Jews, Muslims, heretics, and others. |
