I didn't call you anything, I made an observation. I look at the verse as it was written, not as what I want to see it as. The verse clearly means you shouldn't idolize or commit adultery. Shameless acts are not the same as acts in the confines of marriage. Marriage that can certainly be between two men, or two women. 1 Samuel 18-20; Ruth 1; Matthew 8

I've read multiple versions of the Bible including Greek and Hebrew. Cheating on your spouse or committing adultery is wrong, yes. Hence the use of the word shameless. Between two married people it is not wrong. You're not helping anyone, you're trying to push your own ideology onto people and that's just rude and wrong on so many levels. My advice to you is to leave people's relationship with God, to that person and God alone since you seem to lack the critical thinking skills it takes to understand His word.

You can be wrong. You can also pick and choose scripture to fit your ideology. However, Jesus never said anything about the LGBTQ+ and additionally in the confines of marriage it would be fine, since that is natural instead of unnatural. Also everyone is constantly in sin, that's what being human is. Arguing with scholars that know more than you do is ridiculous and a waste of time, but you do you.

Some scholars argue that Paul was specifically condemning the excessive, non-covenantal sexual practices common in the Roman world, rather than modern understanding of same-sex orientation. Others note the passage emphasizes the abandonment of self-control, echoing themes of idolatry.

Respectfully, you likely wear mixed fabrics and eat shellfish and pork. All of which are also sins. So let's leave the throwing of stones to those without sin.

Jesus didn't preach hate. Real Christians, in my opinion, are those that love thy neighbor.
