All of which are man made rules or mores, a god did not say any of that. Those verses just lets hate crimes continue using verses like that for justification. There is NO justification for bias based on sexual identity.
It is being cast away as we speak with same sex marriages legal in many countries and a number of states in the US as well. In a hundre ...[text shortened]... S be weak minded people who will inevitably fall for the recurring line of religious bull shyte.

Yes, that is a part of the "practice of homhsexuality" (although not exclusively). Perhaps a comparison with a new modern translation that incorporates all the latest linguistic understandings of the real language scholars could be of benefit.
The Bible I cite is taken from the original languages and revised 2013.
We've been over this before, but this is a translation produced by a corporation with questionable motives.
Unlike my denomination, which gets its dogma FROM the Bible, your leaders have written a "Bible" spun wholly from your already-existing dogma. This is quite the "wrong way 'round", wouldn't you say?

In business it is to make $.
The aim of our organization is to accomplish the ministry of preaching and teaching the "Good News of God's Kingdom through His Son Christ Jesus".
This is a life saving work started by Jesus himself. (Matthew 10:5-7) These 12 Jesus sent out, giving them these instructions: “Do not go off into the road of the nations, and do not enter any Sa·mar′i·tan city; 6 but instead, go continually to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 As you go, preach, saying: ‘The Kingdom of the heavens has drawn near.’
Jesus also said, (Matthew 24:14) And this good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.
Some people think we make this up but it is from the Bible.
I's a voluntary work that Christ's followers are given the privelege of helping to complete in these last days.
-Removed-because its encouraging to note how we have grown, how many Bible studies we conduct, how many magazines are printed, how many languages our literature is available in, how many deaf sign language congregations there are, how many are baptised each day and to note if anyone has yet broken our world record for the distribution of a Book.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieit seems a perfectly logical to inquire why it is 'unnatural' to stick sum things up a bum but not others.
yes I am afraid it seems to be the best he can do.
i eagerly wait a full and clear explanation, as I have the up-most confidence that you have fully thought this through and are in no way 'winging it' to fit with some weird hang-up.
