OK DO KEY... I’m comin’ in!

OLD TESTAMENT
“The penalty for homosexual acts is death to both
parties. They have committed a detestable act and
are guilty of a capital offense.”
(Leviticus 20:13)

NEW TESTAMENT
“Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit
the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither
the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers
nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders.”
(ICorinthians 6:9)

JO TESTAMENT
I have gay Christian friends who live normal hetero
lives. Though tempted, they choose not to “practice”
homosexuality. They live out a Godly life relying on
God (what a concept) to help them resist the temptation
to act out.

We are all flesh and Spirit and we all have weaknesses.
Though, not all of us have the weakness oF homosexuality.
Some have the weakness of murder, or drugs, or anger,
or gossip. For all of these things we must practice
self control through the power of the Holy Spirit.
My next point is touchy.

Of the men I know who admitedly struggle with
homosexuality, not surprisingly, many were as
young as four years old when they were molested
by a relative, neighbor, friend or camp counselor.
At the time of the attack, their bodies responded
to sexual stimulation in the way God intended. Being
too young to understand this is normal, they made
this tragic assumption ...

IF ... I was aroused,

THEN ... I must be attracted to men.

THAT ... is a lie from the pit of hell.

It is my humble opinion that homosexuals
are created by other homosexuals.

Don’t know why I was pinged.

But since you pinged me, I will just point out that your posted English translation failed to address the points brought up by Mrs. Don-o. For example, do you have evidence that “MALOKOIS” AND “ARSENOKOITAI” apply beyond the pagan-temple prostitutes?

Wow, Jo! Calling in the cavalry, I take it?

I'll scrap the formalities and get back to the passage in Romans, chapter 1, perhaps with surrounding verses for a better sense of context.
