While I agree that there is ample evidence that God is against His Creations participating in acts of homosexuallity, we need to be careful to regard each book of the Bible for it's specific time, place and audience. Roman's in particular is a devout Jew's dumbing down Old Testament teachings for those who have only been exposed to Pagan teachings.

God's teachings to us are evidentely complete. Just because we have lost the ability to understand scripture doesn't make it incomplete.
Deist's seem to have at least part of their faith correct. God Created the physical Universe with specific laws of nature in place for whatever "if/then" circumstances arise. Scripture is the best instruction manual we have to let us know how to best live in this physical Universe while preparing our true spiritual selves for eternity in God's spiritual realm.
It appears that the purpose for this Created physical Universe is to somehow keep good and evil in existance, as one requires the other to survive.
In the realm of physical existance, in 125 years, who is the more successful person? The one who has lived basically a moral life while building a fortune 500 company, having several million dollar homes, a private jet and a trophy wife with 3 children who themselves have all been successful....or, the man who lives on the outskirts of society teaching who ever will listen that Jesus is love while he sustains his life with just enough food provided by those who take pity on him and lives in highway underpasses and basements of abandoned buildings? In the end, these two men are exactly equal. They both wind up with exactly the same thing; a dead body.
No, God's Word is complete for those who wish to try to understand and obey it. There is no need for God to do any more for us then he already has and will do after our mortal death.Government is a disease......masquerading as its own cureEcclesiastes 10:2 NIV

Scientific reasoning is a wonderful thing because it helps us better understand God's Creation.
I believe the Garden of Eden story is designed to let us know that we only think we are as smart as God. We have proven ourselves wrong billions of times since our existance, and yet we still think we are smart enough to question God. I love science for the way it helps me understand God's Creation. Science certainly does not dispell anything about God.Government is a disease......masquerading as its own cureEcclesiastes 10:2 NIV

Are you saying that Paul was "dumbing down" Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13 ???
If anything, I think the Old Testament was more severe against this type of deviant behavior. If someone wants/chooses to be "Gay" that's one thing. But for someone to be "Gay" and claim to follow the teachings of the Bible.......I disagree.If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
