But it's more than just the manner in which something is stated, but the actual thing that is said. And how do you know that what's said today isn't what was believed to be the truth way back then? Way back in 1611 the King James Bible said
Leviticus 18:22
22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
Leviticus 20:13
13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
1 Timothy 1:9-10
9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
Prove it. Show me the evidence that those verses condemning sex between people of the same sex wasn't about homosexuals, but about heterosexuals who, what, wanted a little one-on-one one time fling with each other? Flings of such a minor nature that "
they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them." And if that's the kind of punishment god meted out to heterosexuals who happened to stray off the path into a little same-sex fornication, what do you think he thought of true homosexuals
---men and women who screwed around with those of the same sex on a regular and exclusive basis?
God's Guidelines for Consequences. Section 22: (Sexual Behavior)
22 - D. sexual relations between humans of the same sex
.. ... a. incidental sex between heterosexuals of the same sex: death
b. occasional sex between heterosexuals of the same sex; torture + death
c. regular sex between heterosexuals of the same sex; torture + death + maiming of one family member
d. exclusive sex between those of the same sex; Gold Star
Nope, your amusing self-serving apologetics to save god's condemnation of homosexual sex here fails, and big time.
