Total BULLSH1T.

Yes, there are people who feel depressed because of the actions of a few lunatics, but the general and overarching trend is that Homosexuals want this life style to be taught to all children in schools and they also aggressively encourage the government to impose this on society in a sort of ' in your face manner ' . Any difference of opinion is made to sound like homophobia. Eventually people get fed up and 'fight' back.
At least we don't see them bombing and killing people.

They are even minority.

There might be homosexuals who are aggressive or fanatics, we have that in every group in the society.

Homosexuals have been oppressed and killed throughout history and every society, I don't see why they shouldn't protest for their right?

What's wrong with people protesting for their right? What's wrong educating people about sexual orientation?

No wonder we have so much homophobic people.

I once hate homosexuals that I feel like they should never exist until I started reading about sexual orientations. And I changed my views towards homosexuals.

One thing about homophobia is that people utilise religion as a weapon to put their hatred in action.

Understanding homosexuality from a religious viewpoint. Read homosexuality in Christianity and Islam on Wikipedia and then go back to the Holybook and read the reference you would find out (with an open mind) all of these hatred are uncalled for.

The Bible in particular never made direct statements against homosexuals and how they would burn in hell. Rather, the Bible condemned Sodom and Gomorrah due to the various atrocities taking place to which same sex might have been involved.

Halo, how are you doing? Please can i know your take on homosexuality? Just asking..
Read along, you'll get a measure of of my take on easy going, ordinary consenting adults, minding their own businesses enjoying a caring, faithful, committed, truthful, honest, loving, lasting that's life-long and loyal same-sex relationship, that has no detriment to another person, no betrayal of another person, or no cheating on another person, and not harmful to an object or neighbour

Shelumiel:

SMH. You really have no idea. You really have no clue what the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah was?

MuttleyLaff:
Its you who is possessed and you are infamously known for regularly feeding your demons

Wrong! The Bible never commands such! It's never the christian duty

There is nothing worse about a gay person.
An ignorant and uninformed person is worse than a homophobe

You must be foolish. Why not go and practice Sodomy.

Ranchhoddas:
Thank you. If you don't get on their perverse bandwagon, you are termed a homophobe.

Very silly.
You keep pussyfooting around when asked direct and pointed questions. You dont give a direct and outright response to the question, so I will, re-ask again here but in fitting manner with your above remark.

Now Ranchhodas, what is perverse in the lives of two easy going, ordinary consenting adults, minding their own businesses enjoying a caring, faithful, committed, truthful, honest, loving, lasting that's life-long and loyal same-sex relationship, that has no detriment to another person, no betrayal of another person, or no cheating on another person, and not harmful to an object or neighbour?

There are a lot of hypocrites reading, contributing to and commenting on this thread.

Most hypocrites can be excused and Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing, but alas the hypocrite believers and Christians ought to know better. Same hypocrite believers and Christians that love their shrimps, their lobsters, their crabs etcetera which essentially are "vultures" of the sea. Oh, the hypocrite believers and Christians love their delicious catfish, catfish that has no scales, catfish that the Bible classed as an abomination but oh no, the hypocrite believers and Christians are more interested in the lives of two ordinary consenting adults, that are in a caring, faithful, committed, truthful, honest, loving, lasting that's life-long and loyal same-sex relationship, that has no detriment to another person, no betrayal of another person, or no cheating on another person, and not harmful to an object or neighbour. Even when God specifically said eating catfish, bush meat shall be an abomination unto you (i.e. Leviticus 11:10, Leviticus 11:11, Leviticus 11:12, Leviticus 11:20 etcetera)

Now, I keep asking the frosbel2, Ranchhoddas, Shelumiel what is disgusting in, what is evil in, what is there to be frightened of, what's to be scared of, what is there to be threatened of or intimidated by, in two easy going, ordinary consenting adults, minding their own businesses enjoying a caring, faithful, committed, truthful, honest, loving, lasting that's life-long and loyal same-sex relationship, that has no detriment to another person, no betrayal of another person, or no cheating on another person, and not harmful to an object or neighbour?

What is the abomination in two ordinary consenting adults, that are in a caring, faithful, committed, truthful, honest, loving, lasting that's life-long and loyal same-sex relationship, that has no detriment to another person, no betrayal of another person, or no cheating on another person, and not harmful to an object or neighbour? No one has been able to come forth with what the abomination is, in two ordinary consenting adults, that are in a caring, faithful, committed, truthful, honest, loving, lasting that's life-long and loyal same-sex relationship, that has no detriment to another person, no betrayal of another person, or no cheating on another person, and not harmful to an object or neighbour

Aaronsrod, and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free

Put to death any Israelite that is having a sexual contact of a sexual nature as in sexual intercourse with other men, as a form of orgiastic religious, rite as was practised by neighbouring Canaanities in the land the Israelities inherited is what Leviticus 20:13 is saying

The hebrew word "zakar" (i.e. male) used in Leviticus 20:13 above, is usually a collective term used for men or male persons of all ages, so Leviticus 20:13 is against sexual promiscuity carried out in the name of temple or eligious rites believing such acts will garnish favour and blessings from God to perpetrators of the ritualised orgiastic sexual acts.

Romans 1:18-32, especially verses 24, 26 & 27, is a rehash of Leviticus 18:22 and Leviticus 20:13, where at, Paul, is echoing what happened around when Leviticus 18:22 and Leviticus 20:13 were issued is prevailing again in his time. Incidentally, India is the last bastion of where that practice of temple male prostitution done by the Canaanites in Leviticus times and by the heathen gentiles in Paul's time is still done. There are extra-biblical records and museum artifacts corroborating this temple male prostitution cult, even the Bible when read in its original textual form before its numerous translations confirms the temple female and male prostitution cult and their promiscuities.

God, in effect, is saying, you are not participating and partaking in these acts on My behalf, I do not approve of the act, you can't obtain favour, blessing or anything good from Me for indulging in this acts because I find the sexual intercourses and other sexual activities performed in the name of religious rite or ritual repulsive. It is not fair, not right, it is an abomination. This deeds and all that sacred sexual rites act, is what God, says it is an abomination to Him. He doesnt find it appealing and doesnt find the thought of anyone believing they can curry favour with or through the act agreeable to

It is the purveyors of those services and those making use of it, that the bible said, should be put to death, when/if found. It isnt at all the death of easy going, ordinary consenting adults, minding their own businesses enjoying a caring, faithful, committed, truthful, honest, loving, lasting that's life-long and loyal same-sex relationship, that has no detriment to another person, no betrayal of another person, or no cheating on another person, and not harmful to an object or neighbour.

God doesnt find anything disgusting in the lives of two easy going, ordinary consenting adults, minding their own businesses enjoying a caring, faithful, committed, truthful, honest, loving, lasting that's life-long and loyal same-sex relationship, that has no detriment to another person, no betrayal of another person, or no cheating on another person, and not harmful to an object or neighbour, if He did, Jesus had a golden opportunity to say so, but He didnt condemn nor condone the act, He just went about the usual Father's business.

This is no sophistry, my scoffer dear friend Ranchhoddas.

Dont get me wrong Ranchhoddas, I too, I am mystified by the idea of two men prefering themselves and not at all, find God's pièce de résistance sexually attracted to, all that rounding curves and bends, the moulds in the front, back and sides and wow, the blissful, attractive and desirable honeypot, doggone it, thats quite a lot of all woman, they're missing out on there but then I quickly "sọji" realised c'est la vie, and nothing strange with them, we live in an imperfect world afterall, so each loving, caring, truthful, honest, committed and faithful consenting adults in whatever life long sexual relationship there are in, that has no detriment to another person, no betrayal of another person, or no cheating on another person, and not harmful to an object or neighbour to its own

Why would anyone shy away from this question? Shrouded in "worldly" wisdom, logic – and jargon - as it is, it presents no real challenge and is easily rebutted on its own terms, let alone biblically.

Why is there a need to qualify such a relationship so heavily? Almost as if to deflect from the intrinsic nature of a "same-sex" relationship, and focus on feelings, intent and motivation. That alone raises a number of questions;

1. How do you independently confirm, in addition to and, apart from testimony from, both parties, that, that is the exact nature of the "relationship"
2. Are SS or any relationships that fall short of your criteria above not moral or sanctified?
3. How do you define and determine harm to another? And why just “to another”? what about the bigger societal picture on what leads to a flourishing society?

And, to answer your question SS relationships are an abomination in the sight of God - evil - and being perverse by their very nature cannot by any means be made “moral” or otherwise sanctified from a Christian perspective.

There are a number of places in the bible - and both testaments - where it is clear that sexual relations between 2 people of the same (and not just for ritual purposes) is considered an abominable act. But let me ask you this.

1. Are SS attraction and SS relationships, part of Gods original creational intent?
2. If you respond yes to #1, could you advise what Gods intent for their unions would be
3. If you respond no to #1, kindly explain when such attraction and relationship appeared and, how we can confirm that God affirms them

I hate going in circles. mr mutty you are weird. How do you come to the conclusion that I HATE HOMOSEXUALS?

God hates homosexuality and called it abomination



Leviticus 18:22
Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.

Jesus reiterated God's plan for sexual union

Matthew 19:4
And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,

God made sex for procreation.


God never created anyone homosexual, it is the result of the sin nature of man.

Paul records that homosexuality is as a result of depravity and a rejection of the knowledge of God.


Romans 1:25-28 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;



muttylaff is not what humans want but what the will of God is.


human way no matter how elaborate, innocent, nice and harmless it may be, but the end of it is death.

Proverbs 16:2
All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits.

Proverbs 16:25
There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

Because sexual intercourse was designed as an act of congress between male and female. It is abominable to all. God, people and right ordered society

MuttleyLaff:
There are quite a lot of things that aren't part of God's original plan. Case in point, human being body with two heads, human beings with more than one type of genetilia etcetera. We live in an imperfect world, you seem to forget
Firstly, such imperfections, be that of the body or behaviour are called what they are. Secondly, I can’t tell, is this a yes or a no to SSA and SSR? Are they part of Gods original plan? Shying away already grin.

MuttleyLaff:
Live life, accept what you are and exactly be all what is mentioned in the question
This pre-supposes a “yes” to my first question. Are you saying God ascribes sanctity to SS relationships – with or without your heavy qualification?

MuttleyLaff:
After the ground got cursed, abnormalities and whatnot soon reared their heads because the Pandora box was opened
This indicates a “no” to the first question Was SSA and SSR as a result of this Pandoras box of abnormalities and curses being opened?

MuttleyLaff:
You know me, ]I am in love already and loving this
It’s not about the feeling, which appears to be an early point of departure for you. It’s about the facts and the truth.

The terms:
Nobody is a “homosexual” as in a type of person. Human beings are - created - functionally male and female, and not in any ontological sense different types of male and female. Secondly, nobody is “gay” as in, has an identity of being “gay”.

The terms gay, heterosexual, homosexual, lesbian, trans etc. while potentially useful for discussion, will be avoided where possible and, are nothing more than social constructs, with no backing in law or biology.

People may be SSA or in SSR, but this is behaviour and actions. There is nothing “innate” or congenital about this. And, even if a link could be proven in part or in whole, biology does not determine morality.

The Bible:
Is clear, from OT to NT. Physical intimacy between SS humans is an abomination. There is no getting around that. No matter how one tries to minimise, deflect or cry hypocrisy.

Leviticus 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. (note v23 brackets this with bestiality. Further note that v24 that clearly states it is to defile oneself)

Leviticus 22:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

I’m happy to hear explanations as to what occurred inter-testamentally, or as a result of the saving work of our Lord that transmutes an abomination and being defiled into something holy and sanctified? Is bestiality now sanctified and holy?

In the New testament it is clear. In the run up to verse 26 of Romans 1, the narrative is unquestionably describing how the thoughts of those who turn away form God ultimately become darkened, with one of the inevitable outcomes being uncleanness and lust driven behaviour, evidenced by SS intimacy.

Indeed, God himself give such over to these “vile affections”. In both verses 26 and 27, this vile affection is clearly shown to be a change in the natural (creational) use, due to an uncontrollable burning lust (it’s not innate, but can be deeply driven). The very mind becomes reprobate, as they force out any notion of God and honouring Him from their minds. It's Judgement!!!

I could go on, with references to strange flesh and the like. But will cut to another point before I close this post. The bible is clear on SS intimacy. It is also clear that In Christ, God has made a way out of this mindset, out of this burning, out of this uncleanness and unnatural behaviour, and back to Him.

1 Corinthians 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind...

...11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

I would question how one who describes himself as honest, let alone a Christian, can read anything else into or, out of scripture. No matter how sympathetic, no matter how closely affected.

Further, it has to be questioned, in the light of scripture and the saving work of our Lord, how any Christian can champion SS intimacy as moral and sanctified, and acceptable in Gods sight. More so, when it is described as abominable, defiled and indicated as a form of judgement.

It is clear from the Romans 1 passage, which I have added below for completeness, that not only is this about a rejection of God – and not imagined differences between “loving unions” and temple rituals, or meaningless differences between the penetrated and the penetrator. That’s it’s about turning away from a natural (or creational) use to something deviant.


Romans 1
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: 21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

solite3:
God hates homosexuality and called it abomination
I still dont understand where you guys find that God hates homosexuality and called it abomination. Are you 110% sure, are you really sure the verses you had in mind absolutely said this, huh?

Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
I remember last year, asking you that, what does the original word (i.e. toevah) translated as "abomination" means and in what context is it, used with Leviticus 18:22 & Leviticus 20:13 but you dodged that question without replying to it. See now how, you can run from a question but you cant run for ever and hide from it. You are my customer daada ni

Matthew 19:4
And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,

God made sex for procreation.

God never created anyone homosexual, it is the result of the sin nature of man.
We know all these, but yeah, its here, what we and you going to do about two easy going, ordinary consenting adults, minding their own businesses enjoying a life long caring, faithful, committed, truthful, honest, loving each other lasting that's life-long and loyal same-sex relationship, that has no detriment to another person, no betrayal of another person, or no cheating on another person, and not harmful to an object or neighbour, huh?

solite3, you continually refuse and still havent said what the evil is in two easy going, ordinary consenting adults, minding their own businesses enjoying a life long caring, faithful, committed, truthful, honest, loving each other lasting that's life-long and loyal same-sex relationship, that has no detriment to another person, no betrayal of another person, or no cheating on another person, and not harmful to an object or neighbour.

Paul records that homosexuality is as a result of depravity and a rejection of the knowledge of God.
You this man, you have started with your proof texting again. Please provide this verse where and when Paul records that homosexuality is as a result of depravity and a rejection of the knowledge of God.

solite3:
Romans 1:25-28 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
You want to hear word, isnt it, and that hear word, I'll give you.

Now you would accept and agree that there was no such thing as woman lying with woman in Old Testament Biblical records, erh?

Fast forward to New Testament Biblical records, and boom! What have we? Women, now too, are doing the female equivalent of, man lying down with man. Women have joined gang. Have left ordinarily being a shrine prostitute, for services of just men, but now offering the similar service for female patrons too

So what is happening and/or what happened in Romans 1:25-28?
Well, for your information solite3, Romans 1:18-32, especially verses 24, 26 & 27 is a rehash of Leviticus 18:22 and Leviticus 20:13 with a twist

Paul, with Romans 1:18-32, especially verses 24, 26 & 27, is echoing what happened around when Leviticus 18:22 and Leviticus 20:13 were given. He then added the twist (i.e. Romans 1:26b: ... for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature) which is, the women too, have joined to be participants in the ongoing "detestable customs practised"

solite3:
muttylaff is not what humans want but what the will of God is.

SS physical intimacy is an abomination and against nature, as clearly stated. It’s against Gods will ergo, sinful and evil.
An opinion advanced by you because of your presuppositions, intolerances, agendas, and/or biases.

What is sin and evil in and with two easy going, ordinary consenting adults, minding their own businesses enjoying a life long caring, faithful, committed, truthful, honest, loving each other lasting that's life-long and loyal same-sex relationship, that has no detriment to another person, no betrayal of another person, or no cheating on another person, and not harmful to an object or neighbour, huh?

TV01:
No, what it is, is obfuscation, designed to draw attention from the nature of the thing and deflect attention to peoples desires and feelings around it. And, you are looking for avenues in which to take the discussion, when it is simply “are SS intimate relationships moral and biblically sanctified”.
You either are trying to be machiavellian or maybe you really dont know the meaning of obfuscation. No one, not a sane and rational person, will ever accuse me of obscuring. I've made the question, very easy and simple, to understand

TV01:
Fine. However, no one demands those when discussing OS relationships or unions. Why, if you consider SS relationships equivalent, are you introducing additional burdens?
If you really a good student of the word, you will ask of those qualities in heterosexual relationships too, just as in with a SS realtionship, that's between two easy going, ordinary consenting adults, minding their own businesses enjoying a life long caring, faithful, committed, truthful, honest, loving each other lasting that's life-long and loyal same-sex relationship, that has no detriment to another person, no betrayal of another person, or no cheating on another person, and not harmful to an object or neighbour.

Most hypocrites can be excused and Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing, but alas the hypocrite believers and Christians ought to know better. Same hypocrite believers and Christians that love their shrimps, their lobsters, their crabs etcetera which essentially are "vultures" of the sea. Oh, the hypocrite believers and Christians love their delicious catfish, catfish that has no scales, catfish that the Bible classed as an abomination but oh no, the hypocrite believers and Christians are more interested in the lives of two ordinary consenting adults, that are in a caring, faithful, committed, truthful, honest, loving, lasting that's life-long and loyal same-sex relationship, that has no detriment to another person, no betrayal of another person, or no cheating on another person, and not harmful to an object or neighbour. Even when God specifically said eating catfish, bush meat shall be an abomination unto you (i.e. Leviticus 11:10, Leviticus 11:11, Leviticus 11:12, Leviticus 11:20 etcetera)

Now, I keep asking the frosbel2, Ranchhoddas, Shelumiel what is disgusting in, what is evil in, what is there to be frightened of, what's to be scared of, what is there to be threatened of or intimidated by, in two easy going, ordinary consenting adults, minding their own businesses enjoying a caring, faithful, committed, truthful, honest, loving, lasting that's life-long and loyal same-sex relationship, that has no detriment to another person, no betrayal of another person, or no cheating on another person, and not harmful to an object or neighbour?

Turn to Jesus Christ for your deliverance.

I still dont understand where you guys find that God hates homosexuality and called it abomination. Are you 110% sure, are you really sure the verses you had in mind absolutely said this, huh?
Here you go again! you read it yourself

I remember last year, asking you that, what does the original word (i.e. toevah) translated as "abomination" means and in what context is it, used with Leviticus 18:22 & Leviticus 20:13 but you dodged that question without replying to it. See now how, you can run from a question but you cant run for ever and hide from it. You are my customer daada ni
ok I probably didnt read it! yea here is the what you seek;
. The English word "abomination" refers to a thing which is revolting, repugnant, disgusting. An abomination is something that you back away from with horror or dread. It is something so revolting that it causes you to vomit. This is the idea which is expressed in English with the word "abomination," and I have found that this is the same concept which is expressed in Hebrew with the word "toebah."
There are many passages of Scripture which use the word "toebah" in a manner that does not refer to pagan temple practices but rather to things that are revolting. For example:
Deut 24:4 says that it is "toebah" for a woman to divorce one husband, marry a second husband, and then divorce the second husband and remarry the first. This passage has nothing to do with pagan temple practices. It is merely describing something that God finds disgusting.
Deut 25:16 uses the word "toebah" in reference to cheating someone in the marketplace. The context has nothing at all to do with pagan temple practices. It is simply describing something revolting to God.

Psalm 88:8 speaks of God making a man a "toebah" to his own acquaintances, even while he was calling upon the Lord for deliverance. Would God actually make someone become involved in pagan temple practices?

Prov 11:1 refers back to Deut 25:16 and repeats the fact that unjust practices in the marketplace are "toebah" to God. There is nothing here about pagan temple practices. The same could be said of Prov 20:10 and 20:23.

If "toebah" refers to pagan temple practices, then Prov 13:19 becomes nonsensical. This verse speaks of a fool's revulsion to departing from evil. It has nothing to do with pagan temple practices.

Similarly, Prov 29:27 would mean that the upright are pagan temple practices to the wicked if that is the proper understanding of "toebah." It is much more sensible to view this passage as saying that the righteous are revolting to the wicked.

And when we consider the use of the word “taab” which is the verb form of "toebah," the meaning of revolting, repugnant and disgusting becomes even more apparent. For example:
If "taab" means "to make like or view as a pagan temple practice," then Deut 7:26 would essentially be telling the Jews to not bring a pagan temple practice into their homes but rather view it as a pagan temple practice. It makes much more sense to understand this verse as saying that the Jews were not to bring something revolting to God into their homes but were instead to view all such things as revolting to themselves also.

Deut 23:7 would make no sense at all if "taab" were to be translated as "to make like a pagan temple practice." Did God really feel the need to tell the Jews not to view the Edomites and the Egyptians as pagan temple practices? Or did He actually tell them that they should not view the Edomites and the Egyptians with revulsion or disgust?

And what could Job 9:31 possibly mean if "taab" refers to making something a pagan temple practice? Could Job's clothes really treat him in that manner, or is he instead saying that he had become revolting?

And what of Job 19:19? Jobs inward friends turned against him by viewing him as someone disgusting and by staying away from him rather than by viewing him as a pagan temple practice.
The pagan temple practice view of the word "taab" would make Psalm 107:18 say that fools draw near to death because they view eating meat as a pagan temple practice, but viewing "taab" as meaning "revolting, repugnant or disgusting" would make a lot more sense.
Isa 49:7 uses "taab" to speak of the pagan nations finding Jesus disgusting. It makes no sense whatsoever to say that the pagan nations found Jesus to be a pagan temple practice.
Similarly, Amos 5:10 and Micah 3:9 both speak of the wicked viewing the righteous and God's judgement as something repugnant and revolting. Neither passage would make sense if this term referred to pagan temple practices.
These passages and many more reveal to us that the Hebrew word "toebah" does not refer to pagan temple practices as many defenders of homosexuality claim. It is true that many of the uses of "toebah" in the Bible occur within the context of pagan temple practices, but that is because many of these practices (such as tossing living children into a fire to be burned to death) are repugnant and disgusting in and of themselves. The association with paganism is incidental to the revulsion.

It makes much more sense to view "toebah" as a reference to something revolting, repugnant or disgusting, and this is how the term has been consistently understood for thousands of years. The claim that it refers to pagan temple practices is merely an ad hoc response from the modern homosexual movement to passages describing homosexual intercourse as "toebah." In reality, these passages are claiming that such intercourse is revolting, and so it is.

I don't support the death of homosexuals or any sinner. christ died for them too, they deserve to be set free and live a free life.

Jesus didnt condemn that woman caught in adultery but he condemned sin in all ramification.
the problem many are supporting sin and justifying their sin.

the thief on the cross never justified his sin he said

Luke 23:41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.

you don't go about justifying your sinning, God will not hear you.
