Gwyneth Paltrow Blogs About Homosexuality, Alleged Bible Condemnation

by at .

Gwyneth Paltrow took to her Goop blog today and raised an issue sure to result in numerous responses on both sides:

Does the bible truly condemn homosexuality? This is what the actress wrote:

A few months ago, in the heat of the tragic teen suicides that came about from intolerance of homosexuality, I saw a man on television who was apologizing for wishing death on gays from his facebook page. This member of an Arkansas school board was contrite for the violence in his words, but maintained that his values pertaining to homosexuality would remain, as he felt homosexuality was condemned in the bible.

This concept, while foreign to me, is interesting, as it used to justify so much judgement and separation in our society. When my daughter came home from school one day saying that a classmate had two mommies, my response was, "Two mommies? How lucky is she?!" What does it actually say in the bible that will cause some people to be upset by my line of thinking?

Respond away, THG readers. But try to keep it respectful as you answer: Does the bible condemn homosexuality?

    God Word is very clear on this...........If a man also lie with mankind as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed and abomination (something discusting, it is idolatry and a form of an idol. going on to say, they shall be put to death, their blood shall be upon them. The question then becomes, do you believe God's Word or not? The choice is yours but the outcome remains the same. God is the One that judges and the One that pronouns judgment. Death!!!!!!!

    If you read the bible, you'd know. "And if a man lie with mankind, as with womankind, both of them have committed abomination: They shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them." Leviticus 20:13 That being said, I am not religious, nor do I have any problem with homosexuality. But if the question is: Does the bible condemn homosexuality, the answer is clear. But that doesn't mean religious people, or even the church, follows the bible's words on the subject.
