“There simply is no argument that will negate the Biblical injunctions against homosexual relations and find sanction for them. God made man and women uniquely compatible and complimentary, in more ways than the physical aspect, and only joined them in marriage, which Jesus Himself specified. (Gn. 2:18-24; Mt. 19:4-6) Homosexual unions are only condemned by God in the Scriptures by design and decree, in principle and in precept.”

It’s patently absurd when anyone tries to teach that the Bible ever endorsed homosexual behavior. If we could travel back in time and tell the Biblical writers that people would be teaching such a thing 20 centuries after the last Biblical book was written, they would’ve thought we were insane. Of course, they were more open to childbearing(something impossible in homosexual unions) than our culture is now.

Indeed, and they would also reject such things as prayer to departed saints in heaven, attributing to them uniquely Divine power, esp to a resurrected "Queen of Heaven" who possesses a certain equality with God, with almost unlimited power; and NT pastors distinctively titled "priests," in a church in which the Lord's supper is manifest as being "the source and summit of the Christian life," in which "the work of our redemption is accomplished;" and looking to an exalted Peter in Rome as the first of a line of supreme and independently infallible heads; and sprinkling souls which very act - even those who cannot repent and believe (Acts 2:28; 8:36,37) - effects regeneration, formally justifying the sprinkled on the basis of his own personal goodness, thus usually culminating in indeterminate time in "purgatory" in order to atone for sins and become good enough to enter Heaven. Etc.
