BS cop-out. I ain't talking to God, I'm talking to you. Romans is a direct reference about temple prostitutes being used for pagan religious service. Read up on temple prostitutes and then read Romans again. You'll see a connection. Receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error makes no sense if it's just talking about consensual normal sex. They received in them the pagan deities of the Roman faith through their sexual acts. It has nothing to do with men or women. (Thank you Florida State religion department for making me not ignorant)
You keep talking about Romans 1; you haven't yet TOUCHED 1 Tim 1:10
"..the sexually immoral, men who practice homosexuality, enslavers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine,"
Want it in Greek?
1 Tim 1:10
πόρνοις
ἀρσενοκοίταις ἀνδραποδισταῖς ψεύσταις ἐπιόρκοις, καὶ εἴ τι ἕτερον τῇ ὑγιαινούση διδασκαλίᾳ
ἀρσενοκοίταις: 733 arsenokoítēs (from 730 /árrhēn, "a male" and 2845 /koítē, "a mat, bed") – properly, a man in bed with another man; a homosexual. From arrhen and koite; a sodomite -- abuser of (that defile) self with mankind.
Now that Romans is no longer in question, what do you have to say about what Scripture instructs? It is a SIN, PERIOD: people must REPENT, just like hypocrites, just like liars, just like thieves, just like ANY common sin.
Beyond that, it SPECIFICALLY mentions lesbianism as being "unnatural"; we can assume it is the same for men who lie with men.
