I think we're generally on the same page ... see my comments in #47. Scripture affords us direct arguments against male homosexual acts, but only indirect arguments against female homosexual acts.

It is what God gave us, therefore it is sufficient.

Couldn’t agree with you more.

Again, and I am sure you are well aware of this but many people forget, the 6th Commandment (I’m Lutheran, if you are wondering why I use this way of numbering), “You shall not commit adultery,” (Exodus 12:14) is informed by what God said on this subject before that, the first of which is the definition of marriage: “Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.” (Genesis 2:24) Despite the post-modern, deconstructionist fashion of today the definition of marriage is not in doubt, scripturally speaking. All sexual activity that falls outside of it is, by definition, adultery. That, for the believer, is sufficient, as you say.
