God forbids incest, adultery, and homosexual acts by his people. Leviticus 18:6-23 (ESV). Then he says: "Do not make yourselves unclean by any of these things, for by all these the nations I am driving out before you have become unclean, and the land became unclean, so that I punished its iniquity, and the land vomited out its inhabitants....For everyone who does any of these abominations, the persons who do them shall be cut off from among their people. So keep my charge never to practice any of these abominable customs that were practiced before you, and never to make yourselves unclean by them: I am the LORD your God" Leviticus 18:24-5,29-30 (ESV). Humans can make all kinds of laws concerning sex, but God has spoken, and his children must obey him. Lord, our culture is filled with temptations of these things, so remind me that they are poisons to my soul so that I would hate them.
