"But many here use the old testament to excoriate homosexuals. So I merely suggest they be consistent."

How about the New Testament, then?

"Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,..." (1 Corinthians 6:9, KJV)

[RonHolzwarth]

The RSV is MUCH more accurate than the KJV, since it did not go through a series of translations,

Greek -> Latin -> Middle English.

In modern Engligh, That same verse reads:

---

1 Corinthians, Chapter 6:
[9]
Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither the immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor sexual perverts,
[10] nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor robbers will inherit the kingdom of God.

---

Notice that unrighteous, immoral, idolaters, adulterers, thieves, greedy, drunkards, revilers, robbers are all lumped together with "sexual perverts".

And, exactly what a "sexual pervert" is, is not defined.

And, remember:

John.8
[7] And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, "Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her."
