Same-gender sex and cross-dressing are defined as a sinful practices from God’s perspective in the Bible and must be treated as such. As with any other sins in the bible, God wants people to repent (turn away) from this behavior.

If God then condemns them to hell for their sin, then those who encouraged them are guilty as well. Therefore, the greatest love to show toward homosexuals is to turn them away from their sin. Anyone who participates in homosexuality and cross-dressing must repent (turn away) from sin, believe in Jesus, live for God in order to be saved from hell and go to heaven.

They also point to other writings of Paul to support this view. Is this really what the Bible teaches? Did Jesus really intend to abolish the law and allow us to eat any and everything, as long as we pray over it?

However, careful study of scripture does not lead to this conclusion. A good example of this is found in the following passages from the Bible .
