1 Corinthians 2:12-13; 14:37, 1 Thessalonians. 2:13; 2 thessalonians 3:6 make clear that the Apostles claimed divine authority for their words from Christ

Apostle Paul said the following about practising homosexuality in Romans 1:24-28

Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the degrading of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie andworshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen. For this reason God gave them up to degrading passions. Their women exchanged natural intercourse for unnatural, and in the same way also the men, giving up natural intercoursewith women, were consumed with passion for one another. Men committed shameless actswith men and received in their own persons the due penalty for their error. And since theydid not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind and to things thatshould not be don

1 Corinthians 6:9-10

Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men[a] nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God

Jesus said in John 5:46-47

‘If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me. But since you do not believe what he wrote, how are you going to believe what I say?’

Leviticus 18:22

You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination

Leviticus 20:13

If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination;they shall be put to death; their blood is upon them

1 TImothy 1:8– 11

Now we know that the law is good, if one uses it legitimately.This means understanding that the law is laid down not for the innocent but for the lawless and disobedient, for thegodless and sinful, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their father or mother, formurderers, fornicators, sodomites, slave traders, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to the sound teaching that conforms to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which heentrusted to me

Deuteronomy 23:17

There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel

Homosexuals can be redeemed as everybody else can

1 Corinthians 6:11

And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God

Genesis 2:24

Therefore a man leaves his father and his mother and cleaves to his wife, and they become one flesh

Jesus says in Matthew 19:4-5

‘Have you not read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female,’ and, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one?’

Mosaic law in Deuteronomy 17:16-17, says the king

… shall not multiply horses to himself…. neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold

Try any mention of marriage in scripture. It always refers to one man and one woman. God made them man and woman. They are complimentary, as all marriages are to be.

But if you want specifics try these:

If you need to look up stuff in the scriptures about a certain topic you can use openbible.info/topics/ Just type in what you want to search for. Its what I use a lot of the time. Obviously that only does ESV so I tend to use Bible Gateway to see what the actual wording is in the Bible I use.

I received an email from the Ruth Institute today that puts the questions very simply and without any reference to the Bible.

"There’s really only one question that needs an answer: What is marriage?

This is the single most important question we can ask as a society right now. We believe that marriage exists to bring a man and a woman together as husband and wife to be the father and mother to any children their union produces. It is rooted in two facts:

1. Sex between men and women makes babies.
2. Children have the right to know their mothers and fathers.

It’s hard to pin gay marriage supporters down about what marriage actually is. Doesn’t it seem like they believe that marriage is nothing more than romantic feelings incentivized by the government with tax breaks and federal benefits? "

Marriage is an institution that unites husbands and wives to each other and any children created by the union. It is the only institution that unites children to their natural parents.
