* 1 Corinthians 6:9 - Do you not know that the unrighteous and the wrongdoers will not inherit or have any share in the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived (misled): neither the impure and immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor those who participate in homosexuality

* Romans 1:26-27 - <sup>26</sup> For this reason God gave them over and abandoned them to vile affections and degrading passions. For their women exchanged their natural function for an unnatural and abnormal one, <sup>27</sup> and the men also turned from natural relations with women and were set ablaze (burning out, consumed) with lust for one another--men committing shameful acts with men and suffering in their own bodies and personalities the inevitable consequences and penalty of their wrong-doing and going astray, which was [their] fitting retribution.

Statistical studies give ample evidence that homosexuality is not caused entirely by genetics<ref>http://www.pureintimacy.org/gr/homosexuality/a0000057.cfm</ref>, although genetics plays a part, along with the environment.  For example, research has shown that adoptive brothers are more likely to both be homosexuals than the biological brothers, who share half their genes.  In the journal ''Science'' it is reported that, "this . . . suggests that there is no genetic component, but rather an environmental component shared in families" <ref>(''Science'', Vol. 262, page 2063, December 24, 1993)</ref><ref>http://www.trueorigin.org/gaygene01.asp</ref><ref>[http://www.freetobeme.com/r_biol.htm</ref>.  On the other hand, there is a study purporting to support that homosexuality is partly genetic in cause. Dean Hamer, a gay researcher, conducted a study of thirty-two pairs of brothers who were not related and exclusively homosexual. As they were not related, they should not share the same genes. However, two-thirds of the pairs (22 pairs) shared the same type of genetic material, supporting the hypothesis that there is an existing gene that either influences homosexuality, or is caused by homosexuality.<ref>http://serendip.brynmawr.edu/biology/b103/f97/projects97/Newman.html A report done by a student at Bryn Mawr College, but is nonetheless verifyable.</ref> However, Hamer's study was attempted to be replicated and it is was reported in the journal ''Science'' that researchers were not able to confirm Hamer's findings.<ref>http://www.narth.com/docs/1996papers/silverman.html</ref>

It was reported that the median amount of partners for homosexuals is four times higher than for heterosexuals. [http://www.family.org/socialissues/A000000683.cfm] A 1997 study of the sexual profiles of 2,583 older homosexuals, published in the Journal of Sex Research, found that only 2.7 percent claimed to have had sex with one partner only.
