The Word of God clearly states that homosexual acts are an abomination. It
does not say most acts or some acts or these acts or those acts. The Bible
clearly says that all sex is wrong except sex between a husband and wife within
the sanctity of marriage. Sex between a husband and wife is ordained,
sanctioned, blessed, and holy according to God. Any other sex is a sin against
one's own body; this includes any couple of any sex in a committed, domestic
relationship.
