But the big question some on here want to know: Do you see anything wrong at all with homosexuality from scriptures? Or do you see it 100% okay and justified completely from scripture?

You have to see the bible as a book written by humans and the historical context in whoch Paul wrote those clobber verses. So short answer is the Bible is unclear about homosexuality. It doesnt mention anything about sexual orientation, and bible scholars do not believe people at the time understood or had the scientific knowledge and advancements we have today to put qords such as “sexual orientation”, “leabian,”bisexual”, “transgender” or “intersexual”. The only place I remember is Jesus praising sexual other, the eunuchs, in the Bible. If you ask me personally, I don’t believe 100 percent that scripture is against homosexuality. But Christ in my heart says it’s 100 percent okay to be like this, according to my spirit.

OK, thanks, I wanted to be sure that was your answer to this - it seemed like that was the case from various prior posts. So checking for understanding: it sounds like you believe the Bible doesn't talk clearly about homosexuality (specifically perhaps not about female homosexuality) and possibly condones it, and that in your own heart you believe God is fine with it. Right?
