homosexuality is not a sin

I have alread in detail proven that those verses that some of you so desperately want to beleive are condemning any and all homosexual sex for any reason do nothing of the sort by using their Scriptural context. You are in fact using parts that so obviously were regarding things like Pagan idolotrous orgies. I could also provided some basic cultural context, and I can provide a lot more that proves you wrong. Given the fact that you are not capable of proving that homosexual sex is any more a sin than heterosexual sex, your argument regarding what qualifies as a marrage is groundless. I also don't need to argue the Law of Moses, because Jesus fulfilled all of that and we are no longer bound by any of it. And here is a conservative right-wing site that provides proof of that in detail... http://www.gotquestions.org... I do not expect you to beleive that either, but I did enjoy how you erroneously claimed that "There is not a "completely different turn" anywhere." in Leviticus 18, when in fact, not sacrificing one child to some Pagan god is in fact a major change from the context, and it fully sets up the continued context for the following verses. You are trying to claim that the context is a list of prohibitions, but to interpret the Scriptures in that way, is irresponsible at best. By doing it your way, the Scriptures clearly state that if a man rapes a virgin woman and is caught, he must pay her father and she is to marry him for as long as he lives. "First, you incorrectly cited the verses. You quoted Romans 1:18-25" No I did not, I put the verses people like you love taking out of their Scriptural context back in. Those verses are the start of that chapter, and provide the context for the rest of it. I know people like you hate context when it is not in your favor, and you deny it all the time. The people that were engaging in those idolatrous sex acts in Romans, was not the issue Paul had with them. Sure, in Paul's eyes, things like that would be shocking, and be against his cultural upbringing. You want to remove the reason for the act, and make it all about the act. Tell me, what part in the Scriptures condemn any and all homosesxual sex for any reason when there is not even a hint of idolatry involved in the context? How much research have you done regarding Pagan fertility rituals? I have done extensive research into them, and they were unbelievably elaborate in most cases. "That is how most of the rules are written. The consideration is mostly for how men behave, not women. That said, I already showed that the Bible condemns both male and female homosexuality in my opening." The start is fairly true, but the end is not. None of it refutes what I stated. You clearly want all homosexuals to be put to death, but not even Paul wanted that in the verses you are claiming he did. Romans 1:28-32 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. Although they know God"s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them. That is what a homosexual is to people like you, and you are the ones that are more like those than Paul is condemning. "It is stated in the bible that the thought crime of lust is equivalent to the physical act of adultery.[3] Since homosexual sex was forbidden under penalty of death, following the same logic, having homosexual urges is also sinful." Lust is not a passing thought, or a sexual orientation, it is a sexual obsession. And, in the case that Jesus was referring to, it is sexually obsessing over someone other than the person you are married to. When two people make the choice to fully commit themselves to one another, that is a marrage. For one partner in a marrage to lust after someone else, is them breaking a commitment and contract not only between the two people, but to God. For you to use that part of the scriptures in the way you just did, proves that you have distorted interpretations on them. We all do on some level, but the anti-homosexuality folks have proven that they have been misusing them for a very long time. You have not refuted anything I have stated, and you have provided proof of how you misuse the Scriptures for whatever reasons.
