“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.”
“For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.” (Romans 1:18-20,25-27 NASB1995)
Homosexuality is not sanctioned by God. God does not overlook sexual idolatry and adultery and homosexuality of any kind. If a female or a male prefers and thus sanctions and thus engages in same sex relationships, as opposed to heterosexual relationships, that is evil and sinful in the eyes of the Lord. But please understand that this doesn’t happen just in person, physical body to physical body, but it can happen just in the mind and in the heart, and it can take place with one person preferring sexual relations with oneself in place of the natural affections between a man and a woman, too.
But we should not single out homosexuals as though they are evil people to be hated and cursed and mistreated. We should treat homosexuals the same as we do heterosexuals, with the same love and grace of God – Father, Son Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit. For multitudes of heterosexuals are engaged in sexual idolatry and adultery via what is stored up in their own minds, and via what all they do with those memories, and via the viewing of movies, TV shows, and videos of a sensual and sexual nature, and via self-stimulation, and via adulterous and idolatrous relationships outside of marriage, etc.
So, when you see someone who is clearly homosexual, do not treat them differently than you treat the heterosexual. Love them as Jesus loved all of us and gave himself up for us on that cross to deliver us out of our slavery to sin so we can now serve him with our lives. But Jesus didn’t ignore the sins of the people. He did not pamper them in their sins to make them feel good so that they would like him and not hate him. He spoke the truth to the people, spoken in love, and he called sin what it was, and he warned of God’s judgements on all who refused God and his commandments.
And if we love the people of this world, as Jesus loved us and gave his life up for us so we could walk in freedom from sin, in obedience to God, then we will not pamper them in their sin. We will not give approval to their sin. We will love them as Jesus loved us and gave himself up for us, but we will pray for them, and we will speak the truth of the gospel of Christ to them, and we will let them know that any kind of sexual deviancy is sin against God, and that those who make sin their practice, and not obedience to God, will not inherit eternal life with God, even if they give lip service to the Lord.
For in Jesus’ death on that cross he put our sins to death with him so that, by God-persuaded faith in him, we will now die to sin and live for God in walks of surrender to his will in obedience to his commands in holy living. And that is the ultimate in love! And in his life he taught that if anyone would come after him he must deny self, die to sin daily (by the Spirit), and walk (in conduct) in obedience to his commands. For if sin is what we practice, and not obedience to God, we will not inherit eternal life with God, but we will spend eternity in eternal separation from God in eternal torment.

Weep and wail o’er your sins, children.
God is calling out to you:
Be ye honest; tell the truth,
And it will set you free.
Harken to Him calling you to
Bow on bended knee today.
Don’t delay to let Him in,
And He’ll cleanse your hearts;
Pure within.
Sinners, won’t you listen to Him
Calling out to you today?
He died so that you would be free
Of your sins always.
Turn from your sin. Turn to Jesus.
Obey Him in ev’ry way.
He wants to set you free of
All your guilt,
For which He did pay.
Listen! Listen!
Don’t close your hearts
To His voice speaking to you.
He will give you all of His peace,
If your hearts be true.
He longs for you to come to Him
Humbly now and repentant.
Obey all of His commandments.
Live with Him eternally.
All Ungodliness and Unrighteousness
