FALSE

The claim that the Bible refers to homosexuality as an abomination exactly seven times is FALSE. While there are approximately seven total passages often cited regarding same-sex behavior, the specific term abomination (Hebrew: toevah) is only used in relation to homosexual acts in two verses: Leviticus 18:22 and Leviticus 20:13 2 5 14. The term toevah actually appears 117 times in the Old Testament to describe a variety of actions 7. Other behaviors labeled as an abomination include eating certain types of seafood or various forms of idolatry 7 10. Biblical scholarship indicates that the book of Leviticus is the only place in the Bible where such relations are clearly prohibited and described with this specific term 3 8.
