“Are you saying that the prohibition against homosexual acts, does not apply to gentiles?”

Where did you get that in my post?

Homosexual acts (and adultery and besiality and anything else weird) falls under “no sexual immorality,” which is part of the Laws of Noah.

I am not in favor of homosexuality, far from it; I'm just saying that your argument in itself might not be persuasive. The Noahide Law may say "No sexual immorality," but in itself it does not define sexual immorality.

Example: laws can require, permit, or forbid actions. But If I were to say to a number of fellow FReepers, "Mark this chart to indicate what acts are required, permitted, or forbidden," I'll bet you $25 dollars that 12 different Christian FReepers would have at least 8 or 9 different answers:

__masturbation

__polygyny (having more than one legal wife)

__serial polygamy (marriage - divorce - marriage)

__arranged marriage (arranged by parents)

__Abrahamic polygamy (legal wives, plus slaves and concubines)

__anal intercourse in marriage

__vowed, lifelong celibacy

__contraception

__marriage between first cousins

__BJ's in marriage

__divorce by reason of adultery

__divorce for serious reasons other than adultery
(abandonment, alcoholism, abuse, apostasy, abortion)

__remarriage after divorce

__sexual intimacy by engaged couples

__artificial insemination by husband

__artificial insemination by donor

__surrogate childbearing

__IVF

__tubal ligation for purpose of birth control

__vasectomy

__marriage between two men

__marriage between two women

__sex change surgery

__man/man marriage, where one of the men is a genetic female

__women wearing pants

__men wearing earrings and styled hair


The Noahide Law "no sexual immorality" doesn't specify what "sexual immorality" is.

And although you are a good Christian man and I am a good Christian woman, I doubt we would agree on the survey questions listed above, and I further doubt either of us could convince the other using the Bible alone.
