to all
if, you are relying on scripture, i would very definitely disagree with all of you that scripture ever said homosexuality was a sin. in regards to lev.....not all prohibitions of lev of themselves were sins.
and other things that were directed that are now considered intolerable evils..........."make slaves from the surrounding countries for life and pass them onto your children as inheritance."
numbers 15: 32 While the Israelites were in the desert, a man was found gathering wood on the Sabbath day. 33 Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses and Aaron and the whole assembly, 34 and they kept him in custody, because it was not clear what should be done to him. 35 Then the LORD said to Moses, "The man must die. The whole assembly must stone him outside the camp." 36 So the assembly took him outside the camp and stoned him to death, as the LORD commanded Moses.
under the new covenant household chores are not a sin, neither is doing them on the sabbath.
you are speaking out of self identity, the concept of "i " "i believe this" "i believe that "
you cannot explain how homosexuality comes against the 2nd commmandment(love your neighbor...), the summation of all new covenant law. because it doesnt. or how does homosexuality come against the spirit of christ or the fruit of the holy spirit........because again, it doesnt.
the only way believers, like yourselves have determined that homosexuality is declared a sin in the new testament, is by assignment of meaning to certain verses in spite of their words or by misconstrued legalities.
lets face it you are merely mouthing cultural understandings handed down generationally for 600 years, beginning with king henry the 8th head of church/state who made homosexual sex a hanging offense.
this in spite of the fact heterosexuals have been indulging in some form of this same sex without any recrimination. in fact compared to the numbers of heterosexual couples compared to homosexual couples, and the numbers of heterosexual couples who practice some form of this same sex, there are probably more heterosexuals indulging in it than homosexuals.
