ashamed.

immorality, let each man have his
own wife, and let each woman have
her own husband.

Hebrews 13:4 (NKJV)
Marriage is honorable among all,
and the bed undefiled; but
fornicators and adulterers God will
judge.
“The Bible recognizes marriage as an institution
between a man and a woman. Beacon Baptist
church recognizes homosexual practice as
clearly defined in scripture as sinful. Persons
struggling with homosexual temptation will be
loved, respected, treated with dignity and even
granted membership. Those practicing
homosexuality or any other open sin are subject
to church discipline and will be denied
membership and service opportunities within
Beacon Baptist church.”
1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (NKJV)
Do you not know that the unrighteous will not
inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived.
Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers,
nor £homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10nor thieves,
nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor
extortioners will inherit the kingdom of
God. 11And such were some of you. But you were
washed, but you were sanctified, but you were
justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the
Spirit of our God.
Leviticus 18:22 (NKJV)
You shall not lie with a male as with
a woman. It is an abomination.
Leviticus 20:13 (NKJV)
If a man lies with a male as he lies
with a woman, both of them have
committed an abomination. They
shall surely be put to death. Their
blood shall be upon them.
Romans 1:26-27 (NKJV)
For this reason God gave them up to vile
passions. For even their women exchanged the
natural use for what is against
nature. 27Likewise also the men, leaving the
natural use of the woman, burned in their lust
for one another, men with men committing
what is shameful, and receiving in themselves
the penalty of their error which was due.
Jude 1:7 (NKJV)
as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities
around them in a similar manner to
these, having given themselves over to
sexual immorality and gone after
strange flesh, are set forth as an
example, suffering the vengeance of
eternal fire.

the land: and they did according to
all the abominations of the nations
which the LORD cast out before the
children of Israel.

Now before they lay down, the men of the
city… called to Lot and said to him, “Where
are the men who came to you tonight?
Bring them out to us that we may know
them carnally.” …13For we will destroy this
place, because the outcry against them has
grown great before the face of the Lord,
and the Lord has sent us to destroy it.”
Mark 7:22 (KJV)

deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye,

shall bewail many which have sinned
already, and have not repented of the
uncleanness and fornication and
lasciviousness which they have
committed.

Now the works of the flesh are
manifest, which are these; Adultery,

Who being past feeling have given
themselves over unto
lasciviousness, to work all
uncleanness with greediness.
2 Peter 2:7 (KJV)
And delivered just Lot, vexed with the
filthy conversation of the wicked:
Conclusions:
1. Marriage is between a man and a
woman, their bed is not defiled.
2. Sex outside of marriage is fornication.
3. Homosexuality is fornication.
4. Pornography is a serious sin that will
likely lead to fornication.
