That is where you are mistaken, those two statements mean the same thing.
And people may be debating issues so they can rationalize their sin, but G-d has not been debating them.
Are you afraid to type the word 'God' for some reason?
Also before you can understand what is sinning and what is not, you first have to know where the Bible actually comes from and what it is.
Originally it not was commissioned to be made by God, but by a Roman Emperor in 300 or 400 AD.
Second is that over the past 1200 years the Bible has been interpreted, added to and reinterpreted to the point where the King James version (the first English translation of the Bible) of the Bible is actually MORE interpretation than documentation.
This is NOT an opinion, it is an actual historic fact that can be proved beyond a shawdow of a doubt.
I do not want to get into a religious debate with you on this subject.
But if you chose to start posting quotes from the Bible. I will personally point out to you which parts of the quotes are interpretation and which parts are documentation.
And be warned, you might be shocked and angered by the facts.
It is interesting that when I tell you I know of people who have been cured from gender identification problems you decide to stand on your obviously incomplete information rather than continue to discuss the issue
I am reminding you that you are the one here who refuses to share their evidence. Not me.

Sir, I don't wish to debate this with you either. I have been studying the Bible for a long time, both where it came from and what is in it, but all that kind of discussion will lead to is what is commonly called a p***** match from which neither you nor I would profit.
You obviously are deficient in your study methods. In the case of both religion and sexual perversion you look until you find out what you want to know and then you close your mind.
That's your business, but I wouldn't like to live that way.
Shalom.
When discussing this with my children I gave them some words that I would like to share with you all and others on this thread. When your theology finds itself in conflict with reality, rethink your theology. G-d is real and will always conform to reality.
There are a lot of people out there who want to tell us that people can't change their sexual "orientation" or resolve gender identity confusion. The fact that there are lots of people who have successfully changed their "orientation" and resolved their confusion should cause anyone to rethink this position.
When it doesn't, what else is there to do?
Shalom.
That shouldn't be a problem. Just do what Boeing did: get four engines, each producing 50,000 pounds of thrust, and you'll be good to go.
Therefore, I used correct grammar in using the plural form of the word fact, facts.
If I was as rude as you, I would be laughing at YOUR mistake.
You just admitted to flaming me.
Maybe I should use the abuse button.
But that all depends on what you do next. Continue flaming me and I will.
No way, I don't want to get rabies.
And my comment was metaphorical.
