Since Paul is who most homophobes run to in order to support their case, I went to him first, there really isn’t much left.
Today we have Divorce courts, protections, child custody, child and spousal support.
In Romans chapter 1, verses 26–27 are cherry-picked out of the context which starts in verse 18. The context is Idolatry.
Have you ever accidentally seen your mother-in-law doing something that was private to her?
Why can’t some Christians?
The truth is, the Old Testament and New Testaments say next to nothing and sexual orientation is a relatively new concept.
Him and I are good and that’s all I need.

Christ bore that, so, hard pass, thanks.
Where?
(So please, before you enforce celibacy on another, castrate yourself … or leave other people alone?)

Does He?
Mt 19 is about Divorce. Jesus’ reference to Celibacy is that it is a gift from God and that not everyone can receive it.

Right?
Many believe Paul is writing about what he sees, temples that have male and female prostitutes engaged in ritual activities.
Last, Leviticus. Two almost identical verses. One sex act (If translated correctly. The Hebrew words are sparse. People debate everything).

These were common in that culture in Athens, Corinth, Ephesus, Rome, and Crete, all places Paul went. They existed centuries after Paul.
There were Male Shrine Prostitutes in the OT book of Kings, that practice was old in Paul’s time. Many dismiss the idea based what seem to be personal or sociological reasons, not archaeological ones.
Those women were shunned, shamed, casted out and abandoned. The man had all the power and Jesus dared to challenge that. Even His disciples were astounded.

No one knows.
Scholars and translators know this. The Greek translation of Arsenokoitace is uncertain. The word was coined by Paul (probably) or a contemporary of his. Any person who says they know exactly what Paul meant is lying (seriously).
(What do you think he would write a line or two about?)
I am not a Jewish man. I’m am not under any part of the Law for my righteousness. To place myself under the Law for my righteous standing with God would be to put myself under the curse of the Law listed in Dt 28.
Homophobia is a billion dollar business for Corporate Christianity. Isn’t it?
Christ bringing up Genesis is not Him being exclusionary, it is Him reminding these lecherous men that their wives are bound to their hearts.

Didn’t they read Galatians? Romans? James and his “Law of Liberty.” The entire New Testament? You can even find Grace in the Old Testament, some of the Rabbis have.
If you embrace the fact that David “embraced” Jonathan and God was cool with it, you find that your concepts about what God “hates” get thrown out.
What? It’s okay for David to be both a man after God’s own heart and a Bloody Bipolar Adulterer who even desecrated what was holy, as long as he wasn’t Bisexual, right? Lol
Try to break free from the shackles of it and you will find yourself outside the fold Pastor.
Men interpret Scriptures certain ways, but Jesus said we make void the Word by our tradition. Groupthink is tradition.
Inhospitable, loathsome, yet leave it to homophobia to twist it and miss it (the verse they use in Jude fails the test because of this).
If anything, Paul was writing about male prostitutes, not LGBT.
Answer to: Why does the God of the Bible condemn homosexual acts?
No. Rape is violence, not sex. The story is about kidnapping into slavery and the abuse of strangers.
Why is it the Legalists always run to the Law?
Sodom and Gomorrah. Two cities completely filled with Gay men, young and old. Cities who recently had gone to war, who Abraham had rescued, who Lot went back to live among, who tried to rape two angels that they mistook for men … I guess.
