Lesbians?
Leviticus 18:22 says, "Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable."
If you read this as a literal statement, it doesn't involve lesbians.
Where does the Bible state or even suggest that lesbian relationships are wrong?
Editors Note:
I'm glad you asked this question. It is a very important question for a young woman like yourself. In Romans 1 verse 26. It says, “Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones.” In this verse God is speaking about women who exchange their natural affections for men, for unnatural affections for women. In the next verses it makes this clear.
After mentioning that women sinned by exchanging their natural relations with men for unnatural relations, it goes on in verses 27 to 31 to say, “In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion. Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless.”
These verses make it clear that the teachings in the Bible on the sin of homosexuality apply not only to men having sex with men, but also to women having sex with women.
There are many other verses in the Bible about homosexuality that apply to both men and women. Click here to read a study from the Bible on this area of homosexuality.
I hope you will take God's advice and turn away from sexual perversions. And instead, seek sex within marriage, which is between a man and a woman. Later in life you will be thankful that you made this decision early in life.
While you may feel safer with your young female friends and young men may seem intimidating to you, I hope you will take courage and trust, that God knows what is best for you, and that a young man who loves you enough to wait until marriage to have sex with you, will be a true friend and best for you in the long run.
I pray you will turn your life over to Christ and yield your desires to God's will for you and for mankind. May God Bless you as you continue to seek His will in your life.
Try to find a church where they interpret the Bible truthfully. They will still love you and accept you, and care about you. They know that you will be happier following God's plan for your life. A good church will be one that considers homosexuality sin but that teaches that Christians should hate sin but love the sinner.
