Remember that God is not willing that anyone should perish, and that homosexuality is not inherently worse than adultery, promiscuity, or other sins.

I would disagree with that. Homosexuality was consider "abomination". In practical terms, homosexuality is "inherently" more destructive than is adultery.

In addition to injuring relationships, homosexuality also comes with tremendous biological and psychological injury, and it is a rejection of natural order.

Abominations caused great pain and/or great injury.

I place my faith in the holy scriptures. Where does it say that homosexuality is inherently more sinful than adultery? Why do the 10 Commandments specifically condemn adultery, while making no mention of homosexuality? How many gays are there, vs. the no. of hetero. adulterers? Marital cheating deeply wounds those who are cheated, both male and female. Divorce creates millions of confused and deeply disturbed children. I’ve known men who lived in poverty supporting children whom they were never allowed to see. Their suffering is beyond measure. Only about 1% of the population is homosexual, while something like 30% of children are born without an intact family. What is the greater “crime against nature?” What is harming society more?. Let’s get real here. I am not excusing homosexuality. I am trying to awaken people to the fact that the heterosexual hedonistic lifestyle is a far worse threat, affecting more people, yet many conservatives wink at the problem. The male homosexual lifestyle is also promiscuous, but quantitatively far less significant than the promiscuous and non-committed hetero lifestyle.

>>> Homosexuality was consider “abomination”

So was eating lobster or wearing mixed fabric clothing. What’s in your closet ?

Let’s face it, the scribe of Deuteronomy didn’t approve much of anything or anyone. Yet says slavery is ok as long as you just enslave people outside the tribe. Go figure.
