Nature herself talks about the decrees of God

SUMMARY: The apostle Paul argues in Romans 1:18 onwards that homosexuality is not a human right or acceptable behavior by God, but rather a consequence of God's wrath on those who resist His Will. Nature itself speaks of a God who has decreed sexual relations between a man and a woman, and even the anatomy of men and women is complementary for sexual relations between them. Homosexual behavior is against nature and God's design, and any impartial observer would conclude that sexual relations are meant to be between a man and a woman. Paul also argues that God has used homosexuality as a way to judge those who exchange His glory for an inferior glory.

The apostle Paul is saying that far from being a human right or an acceptable behavior by God, homosexuality is rather the consequence or the manifestation of God's wrath on a humanity or on a sector of human beings that has stubbornly resisted His Will and try to ignore what God says precisely about what behavior He wants men and women to follow in the sexual area and in the area of marriage.

So Paul tells us in Romans 1:18 onwards that there are people who have been determined to obscure and hinder what God has declared in nature itself. The first argument that we as Christians have to offer against homosexual behavior is that nature itself is clear regarding what God wants concerning the sexual behavior of human beings, indeed the animals themselves are clearly structured in terms of a male or a female and in the animal world animals behave in a heterosexual, non-homosexual manner.
