The bible exposes homosexuality as wrong and against the natural order of Yahweh Almighty
What Does the Bible Really Say About Homosexuality?
Hello brothers and sisters in Yahshua the Messiah. Welcome back to Spiritual Podcast, your podcast for authentic Bible teachings that we share 100% free to all. I’m Elder Joe, your host. Pull up a chair. I’m glad you’re here.
If you’ve been hanging around our community for a while, you know that I love tackling the tough questions—the ones that keep us up at night, the ones that feel a bit like walking on eggshells. Today, we’re talking about a topic that is deeply personal for so many of you: how we reconcile the biblical teaching on homosexuality with the modern, powerful pull of the concept of love.
I hear it all the time. People come to me with honest hearts, saying, “Pastor, if it feels this authentic, and if it’s rooted in love and commitment, how can it be wrong? Doesn’t Yahweh just want us to be happy and to love one another?”
It is a deeply compelling argument. In our culture, “love” has become the highest good. If something feels loving, we assume it must be good. But I want to challenge us today to look a little deeper, to look past the surface of our feelings and into the anchor of our faith.

The Anchor of Scripture
When we approach the Bible, we aren’t just looking for permission or validation for our lived experiences. We are looking for the blueprint for humanity.
From the very beginning, in Genesis 2:24, we see the foundational design of Yahweh, our Father in heaven. He says, “Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.” This wasn’t just a cultural suggestion for that time; it was the establishment of a covenantal model for marriage—one man, one woman, united in a way that images the relationship between Messiah Yahshua and His Church.
When we jump to the New Testament, specifically in Romans 1:26-27, the Apostle Paul speaks directly to the reality of human desire and how it interacts with that divine design. He describes actions that are “contrary to nature”—not because they aren’t capable of affection, but because they step outside of the specific, intentional framework Yahweh established for human flourishing.
Defining Love by Its Author
Here is the crux of the tension: We often try to define love by our own internal barometer—”if I feel it, it is true.” But the Bible gives us a very different definition.
In 1 John 4:16, we are told that “Yahweh is love.” If Yahweh is the source of love, then we cannot define love apart from who He is and what He has commanded. True, biblical love is never separated from obedience to His truth. Yahshua Himself said in John 14:15, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.”
When we use “love” to justify actions that the Holy Scripture explicitly identifies as falling short of Yahweh’s design, we aren’t actually practicing biblical love. We are practicing a form of self-love that elevates our immediate desires above the wisdom of our Creator.
A Firm Foundation, A Gentle Hand
Now, I want to be incredibly clear: I am not saying this to condemn anyone. I am not standing on a pedestal looking down at you. I am standing right next to you, navigating the same broken, confusing world.
We all have desires that run contrary to Yahweh’s best for us. We all struggle with the pull of the “self” versus the call of the “Spirit.”
When we hold firm to what the Bible says, it isn’t about being “judgmental.” It is about being protective. It is about believing that Yahweh’s way—even when it is difficult, even when it requires sacrifice—is always, always better for us than our own way.
Almighty Yahweh isn’t a cosmic killjoy trying to keep you from happiness. He is a Father trying to lead you into the fullness of life. And that life is found by aligning our hearts, our relationships, and our definitions of love with His Word.
It’s okay to have questions. It’s okay to wrestle. Just make sure you’re wrestling with Yahweh, not away from Him. Keep reading, keep praying, and let His truth be the final word in your life.
