I say good point. And thanks for being cute. But then there's the story of David, who loved Jonathan more than women, got naked with him and kissed him ... and that Jonathan's father, Saul, was miffed at his son cuz Jonathan was shaming his mother.

No, he never said or taught any such thing. He did say that "Don’t think that I have come to destroy the Law of Moses or the teaching of the prophets. I have come not to destroy their teachings but to give full meaning to them."

And then there's Jesus saying things like "you have heard that it was said, but I say."

The full meaning of the laws against homosexual acts are that they violate God's original intention, which was one man with one woman, which was for the procreation of the human race. "Be fruitful and multiply". Homosexuality is not fruitful in the eyes of God, and thus it is not fruitful or profitable for us as his creation. Many of the OT laws full into this category. But awareness the bible expert already knows this so maybe you should be asking him these quesions.

She can ask me on the phone. You brought up "procreation of the human race." That certainly was true back then. God told the only two to be fruitful and multiply, but of course. But with almost 8 billion today, I doubt God would need that any more, and won't likely be saying that. So then, homosexuality was opposing that end. However now, it wouldn't be of such a concern ... certainly not the concern Christian's make of it today ... that make the Bible, both Old and New, their LAW ... to condemn those they don''t agree with ... specially the gays ... but look the other way for gossipers.
