→Biblical Views on Homosexuality: Let St. Paul speak for himself
''Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.''
''Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.''
This has been interpreted by many to be a condemnation of homosexual activity, but due to mistranslations and other errors may instead refer to the use of sexual to gain dominion over others and not to consenting and loving relationships between couples of the same sex. However, the Book of Romans states that homosexual relationships are shameful and indecent between men.

Another passage often cited as a Biblical prohibition of homosexuality is Romans 1:26-27:
:For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
:And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
