Of course its vaugue when you pick through it with a fine toothed comb with the objective of disproving it. These passages are prohibiting homosexuality, not the acts. You are getting hung up on the acts, thats not what is important. Its the lifestyle that is being prohibited.

I am picking through it with a fine-toothed comb, yes - but not to "disprove", just to clarify.

And your explanation of what the Bible prohibits is very different from what I hear from so many others, goes back to my point:  It is vague.  More to the point, it is TOO vague to base any judgment upon it.  The Bible, within some parameters, means what you want it to mean.  What kind of rule is that?

My point is made further by the many different interpretations people give to the Bible - not just these verses, but the whole thing.  If the Bible were clear we would all agree, or at least most of us.  But because it isn't clear you get different opinions.  That leads me back to the vagueness.  If the Bible were passed by Congress, it would be thrown out by the courts as being too vague.  And if it is too vague to even send somebody to jail, how can we possibly condemn somebody's soul based on it?
