Is Homosexuality a Sin?

An unidentified person from Exodus wrote:

"If homosexuality is a sin only when it is associated with cultic practice, then the same must apply to adultery."

This is the false analogy argument.

Anti-gay folks set us a false analogy and then conclude, based on their false analogy, that homosexuality is wrong.

It works like this.

1. Assume that Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13 are talking about every kind of homosexuality, including lesbianism.

2. Ignore the fact that Jewish rabbis since the Law was given 3400 years ago, have taught that lesbians are NOT included in the prohibitions of Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13.

3. Present the modern false teaching that lesbians are included in the Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13 prohibitions as if it is historically true when you know its not historically true.

4. Insist that Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13 are NOT about shrine prostitution or cult prostitution even though that is the context of both passages.

5. When arguing with some homosexuals, concede that the context of Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13 IS shrine prostitution but then insist that the verses also refer to committed, faithful, non-cultic same sex partnerships.

6. When gay Christians point out the logical inconsistency and historical falsity of your arguments, change tactics and insist that homosexuality is like adultery (or beastiality) and since those things are bad, homosexuality must also be bad.

Here are 9 reasons why your analogy is wrong, whether analogizing to adultery or beastiality.
