I don't know why liberals are obsessed with sex. But many here use the old testament to excoriate homosexuals. So I merely suggest they be consistent. Simple and to the point.

OK you've explained yourself. But you smeared this thread with crap from a different argument instead of responding thoughtfully to what was written.

[I got the rope]

Then leave the Bible out and use logic. What is the purpose of having both male and female human beings. Why do they have sex organs? Using your vast powers of observation...what is the "form and function" of the male and female in our ecology?

I agree that the use of O.T. Hebraic code should not be the basis for condemnation of sexual sins today. After all, we should not be advocating the stoning of sinners (God's decree to the Jews) if Christ has redeemed in fact. But the unnatural and sinful state of homosexuality should not be celebrated as normal or encouraged by the granting of civil marriage either.

How about the New Testament, then?

"Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,..." (1 Corinthians 6:9, KJV)

Here's more from the New Testament.

"For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them." (Romans 1:26-32, KJV).

And is it "simple" enough for you?
