I don’t know about rationalizing and bending the Word for their benefit.
***That’s not a question, it’s an assertion. And it’s using typical verbal mechanisms such as starting with “I dunno,” but what you really MEAN is “this is how I look at it”. Your claim is that homosexuals rationalize and bend the Word for their benefit. Yup, they do. And so do perhaps MOST of the people in church leadership, many who have had extramarital sex as if the same concepts don’t apply to them. At any rate, I think I agree with your assertion.
