Bestiality

Lev 18:23 And you shall not lie with any animal to defile yourself with it. And a woman shall not stand before an animal to lie down to it. It is a perversion.
Lev 20:15 And if a man lies with an animal, he shall surely be put to death. And you shall kill the animal.
Lev 20:16 And if a woman goes up to any animal and lies down with it, you shall kill the woman and the animal. They shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be on them. Deu 27:21 Cursed is he who lies with any kind of animal. And all the people shall say, Amen.
Today, these punishments would not be approved by man’s law, however, it should be sufficient to know that God judges this harshly and does not approve.
Homosexuality
Gen 19:1 And there came two angels to Sodom at evening. And Lot sat in the gate of Sodom. And Lot rose up to meet them when he saw them. And he bowed himself with his face toward the ground,
Gen 19:2 and said, Behold now, my lords, please turn into your servant’s house and stay all night, and wash your feet, and you shall rise up early and go your way. And they said, No, but we will stay in the street.
Gen 19:3 But he urgently pressed on them, and they turned in to him and entered into his house. And he made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.
Gen 19:4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both old and young, all the people from every quarter.
Gen 19:5 And they called to Lot, and said to him, Where are the men which came in to you this night? Bring them out to us, that we may know them.

1Co 5:1 On the whole it is reported that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not even named among the nations, so as one to have his father’s wife. 1Co 5:2 And you are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, so that he who has done this deed may be taken from your midst.
1Co 5:3 For as being absent in body but present in spirit, I indeed have judged already as though I were present concerning him who worked out this thing;
1Co 5:4 in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered together, with my spirit; also, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ;
1Co 5:5 to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
1Co 5:9 I wrote to you in the letter not to associate intimately with fornicators;

1Co 5:11 But now I have written to you not to associate intimately, if any man called a brother and is either a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such a one not to eat.

1Th 4:6 not to go beyond and defraud his brother in this matter (because the Lord is the avenger concerning all these, as we also have forewarned you and testified). 1Th 4:7 For God has not called us to uncleanness, but in sanctification.
1Ti 1:8 But we know that the law is good if a man uses it lawfully,
1Ti 1:9 knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous one, 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,
1Ti 1:10 for fornicators, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and anything else that is contrary to sound doctrine,
1Pe 4:1 Therefore, Christ having suffered for us in the flesh, also you arm yourselves with the same thought, that he suffering in the flesh has been made to rest from sin, 1Pe 4:2 in order no longer to live in the lusts of men, but in the will of God the remaining time in the flesh.
1Pe 4:3 For the time of life which is past is enough for us to have worked out the will of the nations, having gone on in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, parties, carousings, and abominable idolatries.

Premarital sex
Deu 22:13 If any man takes a wife and goes in to her, and hates her,
Deu 22:14 and makes shameful charges against her, and brings up an evil name on her, and says, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I did not find in her the tokens of virginity,
Deu 22:15 then shall the father of the girl, and her mother, take and bring tokens of the girl’s virginity to the elders of the city in the gate.
Deu 22:16 And the girl’s father shall say to the elders, I gave my daughter to this man to wife, and he hates her.
Deu 22:17 And, lo, he has made shameful charges againsther, saying, I have not found in your daughter the tokens of virginity. And yet these are the tokens of my daughter’s virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.
Deu 22:18 And the elders of that city shall take that man and punish him.
Deu 22:19 And they shall fine him a hundred shekelsof silver*, and give them to the father of the girl, because he has brought an evil name on a virgin of Israel. And she shall be his wife. He may not put her away all his days.
Deu 22:20 But if this thing is true and tokens of virginity are not found for the girl, Deu 22:21 then they shall bring the girl out to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones so that she dies, because she has done foolishness in Israel to play the harlot in her father’s house. So you shall put evil away from among you.
Deu 22:23 If a girl who is a virgin is engaged to a husband, and a man finds her in the city and lies with her,
Deu 22:24 then you shall bring them both out to the gate of that city, and you shall stone them with stones that they die; the girl because she did not cry out in the city, and the man because he has humbled his neighbor’s wife. So you shall put away evil from among you.
1Co 7:9 But if they do not have self-control, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn.
* From internet research, 30 shekels would directly calculate at $12,000 to $15,000 in today’s value when the shekel weighed approximately 0.5 ounces and silver prices today are around $40 per ounce. This would yield a value of approximately $600 at today’s price of silver. That being established, read on.
There is always difficulty in trying to bring the values of the ancient world into today’s terms. The relative value of goods and services today are entirely different than the relative value of goods and services of past times. For purposes of the valuation of the 30 shekels, The simple equivalent of the number of days of wages such would represent. A working person in biblical times could earn 30 shekels in about 4 months. Thus, if we want to figure what the value of 30 shekels would be to a person in biblical times, we would note that it was far more valuable to that person than what $600 would be to us today. Today, a working person would earn approximately $12,000 to $15,000 during that same period. I believe this is an appropriate way of looking at the relative value of the shekels. Thus, 100 shekels would be as much as $50,000 today.
Prostitution
Lev 21:9 And the daughter of any priest, if she profanes herself by going whoring, she profanes her father. She shall be burned with fire.
Deu 23:17 There shall be no harlot of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel.
Deu 23:18 You shall not bring the hire of a harlot, or the price of a dog, into the house of Jehovah your God for any vow. For even both these are hateful to Jehovah your God.
1Co 6:15 Do you not know that your bodies are the members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them the members of a harlot? Let it not be!
1Co 6:16 Or do you not know that he being joined to a harlot is one body? For He says, The two shall be one flesh.
Rape
Deu 22:25 But if a man finds an engaged girl in the field, and the man forces her and lies with her, then only the man that lay with her shall die.
Deu 22:26 But you shall do nothing to the girl. No sin worthy of death is in the girl; for as when a man rises against his neighbor and slays him, even so is this matter.
Deu 22:27 For he found her in the field, the engaged girl cried out, but there was none to save her.
Deu 22:28 If a man finds a girl, a virgin not engaged, and lays hold on her, and lies with her, and they are found,
Deu 22:29 then the man who lay with her shall give to the girl’s father fifty shekelsof silver, and she shall be his wife. Because he has humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.
Knowing that all the above is severely disapproved by God, why would anyone put so much potential jeopardy on their possibility of horrible eternal rewards? Some say they were created this way, but I assure you that this would not have been God’s plan. It directly would contradict His laws.
Allow me to offer another possibility. Given that all of us need fellowship and love to feel complete, it is likely that we will adjust our thinkings to rationalize most anything, especially, if we do not look to God for our primary guidance!
People are influenced by the environment about them to shape their views of who they are and who they want to interact with. If they had poor experiences with specific genders as infants or children, they would be inclined to seek alternate caring persons to receive love from as an adult.
Very poor self images also become important results of being abused as a child. That is why it is so important for caring and loving parents to bring up children so they are mentally whole and can seek love and acceptance as God intended. Damaged spiritual bonds must be broken by prayer and much help. All things are possible through Christ though. I would hope that anyone in need would seek help before it is too late.
