You are in no way competent to offer Biblical interpretations, let alone comment on the subject of homosexuality according to scripture.
I commented on it, BlackSabb, according to what Jesus said about it, or rather did not say, not "according to scripture" as the sum-total of the Bible. The Bible is seldom monolithic on any subject. IMO, we have to separate the chaff from the wheat. The teachings and life of Jesus help me do that.
Go back and learn what the Bible teaches, from OT to NT before you post again.
You have no control over my freedom to post. I'm a liberal Christian because I seek to follow Jesus' two commandments. I don't have to be an OT or NT scholar, trained in Hebrew, Aramaic, Koine Greek, and an authority on all things "biblical" to post here.
I have given you a clear cut Bible verse on this matter. Don't drag Jesus into this with such nonsense.
True, you did. And I reject the apostle Paul and Moses as my primary lights. I have one Light and find him to be quite sufficient. So I will inevitably drag Jesus into many of my responses. If you don't like it, please feel free to ignore my posts.
And now you're going to come here and give us all your interpretations of the Bible and justifications of homosexuality accordingly from it? I don't think so.
All I'm saying is 1) I strive to follow Jesus (though I often fail) and 2) if Jesus didn't mention homosexuality and make it the primary soapbox of his ministry, then why do those who claim to follow him make it their primary soapbox? Why don't we, as followers of Christ, focus on what he taught us, on what he thought was central, and remain silent on issues that he did not address? He said we would be known by our love and our good fruit, not by our stances on sexual issues.
Moses, Paul, and the whole of the Bible are fine as far as they go. But they don't go very far, IMO, in creating Christ-like Christians. Jesus, on the other hand, seems to be just the man for the job!
