SO much could be discussed in a such a simple question.
As I just mentioned in another post the original bibles in Greek and Hebrew never mentioned homosexulity, as a whole, just certain aspects of it that were not allowed. Sex with prostitutes, rape, where and when you could do it, etc. Just as the bible gives rules about straight sex (far more by the way than with homosexuality). Nowhere did god ever say no man on man (or girl on girl) action. In fact there are books in the bible that deal with this subject. The book of Ruth is a story of two lesbians, and there is the Book of David(?) I believe about a gay relationship. God made several straight forward commandmetns with no wiggle room....being gay was not on the list.
Over the years the translations from generation to generation have taken on the indevidual moors of the time and (mis)interpreted things to fit their social leanings. Ex. The original talks of being "soft". It meant soft in moral values and had to do with lending money. Over the years and several version later they turned "soft" morals into "soft of character" into soft of demeanor" = gay. Woila! Remember this has been going on for two thousand years.
What gets me though is how they all believe in a judgement day. So if we are wrong we'll have to face the music, not them. So why can't they go about their way. Nobody'sasking to have sex with them, get married to them....hell, who even cares what some straight couple I'll never meet in Bumsville South Dakota is doing? Why do they care about me?
Because if they spend their time talking about our sins they can ignore their own. THAT'S what this is all about.
