Nice try rr2002, but I would argue that the Sodom and Gomorrah scripture doesn't state that homosexuality is immoral or perversion. I would argue that it means that rape (whether homosexual or not) is immoral. You would have to agree that in this story the men of the town were trying to break down the door of Lot's house in order to get to the men inside. That sounds like intended rape to me.

As for Romans, you read into this what you choose (as we all do, based on our personal convictions). It doesn't necessarily mean that the act of consensual homosexual sex between two loving commited men is "unnatural". You just choose to interpret it your way and I choose to interpret it mine.

Emaracin, your scripture quotations prove nothing. You have quoted NOTHING that states that being gay/lesbian or participating in gay/lesbian relationships is sexual immorality. You only imply it. Your citations use the term "sexual immorality and perversion", but DO NOT define what acts or beliefs are considered "sexual immorality and perversion". You have implied that these scriptures pertain to the gay/lesbian debate, but I challange you to PROVE that this is without a doubt what was meant in these passages. You are free to believe what you want, of course, but you shouldn't try to act the expert by quoting scripture out of context.
