Granted, sorry... I was wrong Smile It's another 'law' that was simply a ruling of it's time meant to sustain that society. It is not a prescription of God's.

Fact is, you won't ever find clear condemnation of homosexuality in the bible.

fr0d0: The NT also condemns homosexuality too. Unless that is not what you are saying?

Also it should be pointed out that homosexual acts are said to be sinful not being gay itself... i think

Indeed,also according to most christian churches,who welcome celibate gays. I've always found that to be the acme of hypocrisy.

It can be correctly concluded that promiscuity is unhealthy in my understanding.

Generally I would say yes it's unhealthy. But always unhealthy? I would say no.

EvidenceVsFaith: Yeah I suppose so. Other people with other desires are asked to repress them.

God prefers that homosexuals stay repressed forever then? He would not rather that they, like heterosexuals, have a right to a non-repressed life? To truly express themselves for who they are?

So they're just unlucky from a Christian perspective, do you yourself at least, think?
