Homosexuality is not a Sin in The Bible

"My opponent wants me to refute every single point given but he refuted his whole case and therefore submitting the debate. I will explain, my opponent made some very interesting comments or quotes in his second round. I quote, "there is little controversy in the rabbinic tradition on the meaning of Leviticus 18:22. While it is translated in various ways, the basic meaning has always seemed pretty clear: "And with a male you shall not lie the lyings of a woman, it is an abomination." The verse prohibits a man from lying with a male in such a way that his penis is engulfed in the other man"s body. Consequently, for millennia the tradition understood that Leviticus 18:22 prohibited anal intercourse between men and Leviticus 20:13 reiterated and punished the crime with death by stoning." This quote totally shows that the Bible considers male and male intercourse(which is homosexuality) a sin. This refutes the resolution alone, therefore giving me the win." This is faulty logic, notice my opponent's trick, watch this, he quotes my argument with this ""And with a male you shall not lie the lyings of a woman, it is an abomination." The verse prohibits a man from lying with a male in such a way that his penis is engulfed in the other man"s body. Consequently, for millennia the tradition understood that Leviticus 18:22 prohibited anal intercourse between men and Leviticus 20:13 reiterated and punished the crime with death by stoning." Which I totally agree with, Anal sex is prohibited in The Bible, but then my opponent uses either trickery or faulty logic when he says, "This quote totally shows that the Bible considers male and male intercourse(which is homosexuality) a sin. This refutes the resolution alone, therefore giving me the win."" It's faulty as The Bible never condemns Homosexual Orientation or any other type of sexual acts(Oral sex, kissing, relationships, etc), my opponent clearly agrees that Male-Male Anal sex is prohibited but then adds either due to trickery or faulty logic that it is a condemnation of Homosexuality, Anal sex is not a homosexual thing, anyone Heterosexual or Homosexual can have anal sex, if YHWH wanted to condemn Homosexuality He would have clearly, however He was very specific with Lyings of woman as demonstrated. His logic is analogous to one saying that ALL Heterosexual sex is condemned because sex during menstration(Leviticus 18) is condemned, no only sex during menstration is condemned, if YHWH wanted to condemn all Heterosexual behavior He'd clearly do it(like He condemned incest, Leviticus 18), likewise YHWH only condemned Anal sex regardless of orientation, if He wanted to condemn Homosexual He would clear do so. So due to 1 The Opponent cowardly refusing to refute every point 2, using either ignorant, faulty or deceiving logic The opponent loses on The Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13 passage, unless he can throughly with no excuse refute point by point with no logic such as, "Anal sex is condemned, therefore Homosexuality is condemned", same logic I can use is, "Sex during menstration is condemned, therefore Heterosexuality is condemned", no only a certain activity. "My opponent seems concerned about just female homosexuality. That can remain his concern but all I must do is show that the Bible considers homosexuality as defined in round one, a sin, for male or females. But that was the reason my opponent ignored Romans 1:26-27" I didn't ignore it at all, if anyone reads my previous argument they will see that I reached the character limit(8000) On Romans 1:26-27, This video proves the point The Whole context of Romans 1 is needed, 18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God"s invisible qualities"his eternal power and divine nature"have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles. 24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator"who is forever praised. Amen. 26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error. 28 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. 29 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, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. 32 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. 1, as we see, Romans 1:21-27 that people committed Idolatry, and they "exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.(Romans 1:23) Therefore, "God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator"who is forever praised. Amen." and BECAUSE of this, "26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error." Townsley notes that other early writers, possibly including Chrysostom, reject the 'lesbian' hypothesis, specifically, Ambrosiaster, Didymus the Blind and Clement of Alexandria.[16] - Wikipedia 'My opponent fatally wounded himself by agreeing that the Bible condemns male and male anal sex, which is homosexuality defined by our terms. " This is a cheap shot as if I were fatally wounded my opponent opponent would be capable of refuting every point made and not use illogical says as, " the Bible condemns male and male anal sex, which is homosexuality defined by our terms. " Anal sex is certainly not Homosexuality, it's a Specific sexual activity that even Heterosexuals could commit! If we use his logic we can say that since the Specific act of sex during menstration is condemned(Leviticus 18), all Heterosexual is condemned, obviously that isn't the case. Also if he contends that Homosexual Anal sex is condemned then he contends that it isn't a sin for Heterosexuals to have anal sex, however if my opponent contends that Both Heterosexual male to male and Homosexual male to male anal sex are condemned, then himself has fatally wounded himself and admits that this doesn't condemn Homosexuality but just anal sex is general, Romans 1:26-28 was explain and my opponent will need to try again.
