I am on my way out right now, I'll respond to your other points later. What you need to remember is that I don't believe the Bible to be 100% accurate as God's word. We disagree on that. But I DO like these two chapters..and they are not the only ones.
Again, the reason I posted them is not to justify homosexual or any behavior but to highlight the passages that God is Love and the prime importance of love expressed in those two chapters.
Perhaps you can understand that we come from such wildly divergent places in our belief systems that it is a challenge to find things that we can agree on and that I am trying to use your language even though it is not mine.
I'm on my way out too and don't know if I will be back online this evening or not. Will catch up later with you if need be..but wanted to address this one issue with you before signing off.
When you say that you don't believe the Bible to be 100% accurate as God's word, but turn around and say I like these passages and a few others, that's a classic case of having your cake and eating it too, IMO. I can only pray one day that you will accept all of Scripture and stop attacking it as being inaccurate. I have a feeling that won't happen as long as you continue to be homosexual. I have found that apologists for the homosexual community often attack Scripture as being inaccurate. I suppose it's a self defense mechanism because once you admit that Sacred Scripture is COMPLETELY accurate, you can't justify being an active homosexual.
