Is being gay a sin according to the Bible? This question is one of the most debated and emotionally charged in our time. For Christians seeking to live faithfully, it's essential to understand what God’s Word actually says about same-sex attraction and behavior—not through personal opinion or cultural shifts, but through the lens of Scripture, truth, and grace.

This article offers a thorough, biblically accurate answer grounded in the New King James Version (NKJV). It reflects both theological clarity and pastoral compassion, distinguishing between same-sex attraction (which is not a sin) and homosexual behavior (which Scripture identifies as sin). We’ll explore key Bible passages from Genesis to Revelation, examine God’s design for human sexuality, and highlight the hope and transformation available to every person through Jesus Christ.

Whether you’re wrestling with this personally, supporting a loved one, or simply seeking to understand the truth, you’ll find here a faithful presentation of what the Bible really teaches, rooted in God’s holiness, mercy, and unchanging love.
