The question remains, how do they not.
"Denomination" at least indicates it's a type of Bible religion and the Bible is so clear on this, I was just curious how some are able say it is not a biblical sin?

Good, neither am I.
God's Law is His instructions for how to act according to His character, his holiness, righteousness, goodness, etc., not for how to act like Hebrews. For example, in 1 Peter 1:13-16, it says to have a holy conduct for God is holy, which is a reference to Leviticus, so following God's instructions there for how to have a holy conduct is not about acting like a Jew, but about acting according to the holiness of our God.
According to Deuteronomy 4:2 and Deuteronomy 12:32, it is a sin to add to or subtract from what God commanded.

I think you might have. It appears that you struggle with understanding the difference between the Old and New Covenant and the differences between the two. There are quite a few believers that struggle with that so I wouldn't feel to bad about that. It's pretty simple really. The OT law in its entirety is no longer valid. However, the NT Covenant still maintains that certain things mentioned in the old law are still sins are still recognized as sinful behaviors. The NT Covenant also brings in some new thoughts on the subject of sinfulness as well, so there are things in the NC that are not in the old. Practicing homosexuality is one of those things contained within the old and the new as is lying and stealing.

No, it was a mistake to even believe this thread would be constructive.
Right now, I could care less about what is LAW, simply because people seem to get along doing exactly what they want to do, while others struggle trying to follow a code that apparently never existed. I choose not to care less because suddenly I find myself completely apathetic to the entirety of GOD.
I have already asked for the thread to be deleted; I am not confused.

It is either the thread is closed, or I start flooding the columns with obscenities and slurs, so don't even bother responding.
