With all due respect, but who the heck cares what the bible says about the matter? We live in a secular society and not a theocracy. In our secular society we value equality as a fundamental principle. Is this so difficult to understand?
Why are we debating religion here? It should be debated in the religion forum whether your particular interpretation of your holy book makes it okay to hate gays.
What is up with the mentality? People go crazy when a 20 something guy like me doesn't support the gay movement as if it is absolutely required for anyone under 30 to succumb to the gay influence. Like people in their 20's and under don't have a choice to make up their mind. It's like everytime the gays are handing out fliers around town, they make sure to give one to people in their 20's and below like, "you're young you MUST support us", dude get the *** out of my face. My college campus is also flooded with this too. It's like the gay movement is trying to monopolize the views of my generation by trying to create the image that resistance to the gay agenda is an "old person" thing. 20's something men and women have to be down with this, really? Being young in the midst of this gay agenda is TOUGH, the pressure, the influence,it's just gets too much sometimes. Sometimes it feels overwhelming. Older people don't know what we're going through. Some of us young people just want to be left alone and they KEEP bothering us relentlessly.
Some of us old people just want to be left alone to be able to love who we love, and not have obnoxious whippersnappers KEEP bothering us relentlessly with their bigoted opinions on how to live our lives, and vote against basic human rights!
What's the difference? It's still forbidden in the Bible.
Can you tell me where in the Bible it says that it's okay for homosexuals to "marry?" (Hint: you won't find it because it isn't in there.)
WRONG.
The word Arsenokoitai was never before used in Greek.
"Arsenokoitai is made up of the Greek words for male (arseno-) and beds (koitai). In Greek, the word koitai, literally meaning beds, is commonly used as a euphemism for one who has sex. Arseno- is an adjectival prefix, thus literally we could translate this as “male bedder.”
We should now be able to derive an exact understanding of the word arsenokoitai based on the two words that surround it. We have, first of all, the enslaved male prostitute, the “male-bedder” (arsenokoitai), and the slave dealer. The New American Bible offers a footnote that might shed some light on the historical context of the time"

Lol. You just have to get the last word (post) in, don't you?
Well, you can after you read this:
"You must not have sexual relations with a man as you would with a woman. That is a hateful sin. You must not have sexual relations with an animal and make yourself unclean with it. Also, a woman must not have sexual relations with an animal; it is not natural. Don't make yourself unclean with any of these wrong things."

Leviticus? Do you follow all of the laws in Leviticus?

What version are you quoting? KJV, CEV, WEB, Youngs Literal Translation, Revised Standard Version? You do realize their is no consensus on the translation of that particular verse and the meaning of "mankind" don't you?

What's the difference?
Since you seem to be familiar with the Bible, would you post the verse saying that it's okay for homosexuals to "marry?" Or that being a homosexual is okay in the first place?
