Sodomy is not a crime per se (and such is a matter of how the term is defined), however, violent force or rape is a crime. Adult partners can do whatever they choose to in their own privacy, consentually speaking.
12 states still ban sodomy a decade after court ruling

Dont forget too, that the main crimes in Sodom where not so called 'sodomy' (or 'homosexuality'), but cruelty, arrogance, haughtiness, neglect and inhospitality, etc.
Yeah, the men of Sodom who wanted to gang rape Lot's visitors, who were Angels that came in the form of men, would definitely have committed an "inhospitable" act.
What was the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah?

Jesus rescinded the death penalty against homosexuality and other sexual sins in the New Testament, but that doesn't mean that Jesus was some kind of sexual anarchist who didn't believe in the rule of law.
Jesus also gave instructions about marriage & adultery, but how many follow those to the "t"?
Luke 13:23–30
Jesus also helped a centurion and his 'servant' (male lover?), who some see as possible as that being a homosexual relationship. Probable, possible? Jesus didnt discriminate if this was the case.

You should note that Jesus isn't kind to those who lead children astray, which the LGBTQ movement is notorious for doing.
Well, that assumption is not free from distortion.
Need I post evidence showing that the icons of the LGBTQueer movement were and are pedophiles and pederasts and that children are being indoctrinated by this sick and evil movement?

Well, I wrote much in the no longer extant thread on 'The Queen James Bible' - this cover or a similar one was used in the OP - I must admit, its an 'upgrade' to the KJV......shhhhhh, dont tell the JKV-Only nuts that. It would be curtains lol.
I would imagine that you've memorized the blasphemous book cover to cover.

Thats up for debate, many disagree. All the "clobber verses" have been addressed. Its the same ole song.
Your issue is with God.
Genesis 1:26-27
Genesis 19:1-13, 24
Ezekiel 16:49-50
Jude 7
Leviticus 20:13
Romans 1:26-27, 32
1 Timothy 1:9-10
1 Corinthians 6:9-11

You can't because there isn't one verse that comes even close to God embracing homosexuality.
Regarding "love": God loves sinners so much that He sent His Son to earth to die for them. He wants them to repent so that they can spend eternity with Him.
I dont need to, since you cannot provide one verse that shows God (or any prophet or messiah for that matter) condemning homosexuality ITSELF.
The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah and the punishment described in Leviticus 18 is good evidence.
- again,...only certain idolatrous sex acts were condemned in the levitical code, since the levite priests would of course have to be loyal to YHWH alone, not going after pagan gods, much less committing sexual acts in the worship of other gods/goddesses. 'Context' is key.
God didn't have asterisks when He condemned homosexuality throughout Holy Scripture.
I would bring up certain goddesses also worshipped sometimes by the hebrews, one even being thought to be a consort of Yah, but I was banned a few times just for sharing on the 'masculine' and 'feminine' aspects of God. (the Father-Mother-God). I at least recognize the innate and universal truth of male/female...their meaining, values and archetypes, and with it a deeper appreciation for 'gender', as there is a secret teaching of the Lord about 'joining' both male and female as well as transcending both in the Unity of Spirit. But thats another teaching.
It goes without saying that the sodomite movement has their HATRED of God down to a science.

I'm sure just there are ample pro-gay liberation theologians that can put some of those right wing fundies to flight. There is no end of pontifs (pontificating) among the so called 'orthodox'
Sigh...if they could only come up with one verse (just one) where God embraces homosexual behavior.

'God and the Bestial Christian'?
'God and the Adulterous Christian'?
Thats an idiotic analogous comparison to say the least. No relation to what your 'assuming' into the equation. Being 'gay' has nothing to do with 'incest, bestiality or adultery. Dont be an idiot.
So what you're saying is that other sexual sinners haven't organized and mocked God like the LGBTQ movement has done with their 'Gay Christianity'.
I have to admit that comparing incest, bestiality and adultery with homosexuality isn't a very good comparison on my part because none of those acts are nearly as disease ridden as homosexuality is.

Thats your misinformed assumption, hence your ongoing 'parade' of sequels here. And you thought the LGBTQ community were fond of parades! LOL
Gotta love it
i.e. your sin is better than theirs.
Not that it hasn't been fun debating a lil Mattie Vines wannabe, but it's time to...
move on.
