is great, and because their sin is very grievous . . ."

"Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is
abomination." Leviticus 18:22
"If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman,
both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to
death; their blood shall be upon them." Leviticus 20:13
"And Judah did evil in the sight of the LORD, and they
provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they had committed, above
all that their fathers had done. For they also built them high places, and
images, and groves, on every high hill, and under every green tree. And
there were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to all the
abominations of the nations which the LORD cast out before the children of
Israel." I Kings 14:22-24
"And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, as
did David his father. And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and
removed all the idols that his fathers had made." I Kings
15:11-12
"And the remnant of the sodomites, which remained in the days
of his father Asa, he [King Jehoshaphat] took out of the land."
I Kings 22:46
"And the king stood by a pillar, and made a covenant before
the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his commandments and his
testimonies and his statutes with all their heart and all their soul, to
perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all
the people stood to the covenant. And he brake down the houses of the
sodomites, that were by the house of the LORD, where the women wove
hangings for the grove." II Kings 23:3, 7
"And it came to pass, when Rehoboam had established the
kingdom, and had strengthened himself, he forsook the law of the LORD, and
all Israel with him. And he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to
seek the LORD." II Chronicles 12:1, 14
"Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the
lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between
themselves: who changed the truth of God into a lie and worshiped and
served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
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 recompense of their error which was meet. And
even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them
over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness,
covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit,
malignity; whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud,
boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without
understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable,
unmerciful: who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such
things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in
them that do them." Romans 1:24-32
"Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the
kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor
adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor
thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners,
shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are
washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the
Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God." I
Corinthians 6:9-11
"But we know that the law is good, if a man uses it lawfully;
knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the
lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and
profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for
manslayers, for whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with
mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be
any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine; according to the
glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust."
I Timothy 1:8-11
"For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them
down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved
unto judgment; and spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth
person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world
of the ungodly; and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes
condemned them with an overthrow, making them an example unto those that
after should live ungodly; and delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy
conversation of the wicked: (for that righteous man dwelling among them,
in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their
unlawful deeds;) the Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of
temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be
punished: but chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of
uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, self-willed,
they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities."
II Peter 2:4-10
"And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left
their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under
darkness unto the judgment of the great day. Even as Sodom and Gomorrah,
and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to
fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example,
suffering the vengeance of eternal fire." Jude 6-7
