That's not what you said GC. You just said ONLY anal sex
is condemned in the OT... then the NT it's anything else.
The same sex sexual activity is abomination - the NT is simply
elaborating on it just as Jesus did with giving further detail
to Adultery.
It was not commonly practiced whatsoever (even in the USA in
the 70's it was looked down upon and even called a mental
illness by the medical board) - and Jesus gave the
marital covenant definition in Matt 19 that is the first marriage
example of Adam & Eve -
It was never common or accepted in OT Israel.
If you want to try to support homosexuality in the bible, good
luck the evidence is against you, and you can join the many
who here to try to do the same.
Jump on the bandwagon
Same exact thing goes for your argument as well. You can use the OT to argue against homosexual acts, but you must also acknowledge that WHERE in the OT is this mentioned and the words used to describe these acts.
The same word used to describe homosexual relations is used in reference to hair cuts, eating pork, etc. Something I'm certain many of you anti-gay marriage Christians have encountered. Yet, for all your bible quotes you manage to cite, you have yet to counter the "bandwagon's" argument.
That is, if one is to abstain from homosexual actions because of what Leviticus 18:22 has to say, then why is it that you don't follow the Laws in their entirety? That is, if one is not to commit the "abominable" (to'ebah) act homosexual relations then why do you eat things which are "unclean" (also to'ebah)?
You really could be right, however. But, if you don't provide an argument against that, then how can one be certain if you're right?
Either way, irregardless of if homosexuality is wrong or right, I think if one is to follow the word of God one should exercise love and tolerance.
