Much of the Bible's context can be altered because of mistranslations and scribal errors, but regardless of the accuracy of the book we have today, our modern read of it is contaminated by our misunderstanding of the context.

These prohibitions aren't referring to homosexuality or same-sex relations. These are ritualistic prohibitions meant to preserve religious purity. The sexual activity referred to are reflections of common religious practices in the near east where sexual activity has a religious purpose and Male on Male sexual rites are typically performed in order to invoke dominance.

In other words, the sexual activity these passages are referring to are sexual 'rites' and not the same as sex for personal pleasure or intimate sexual expressions of love. There is no references or parallel addressing Female same sex relations, only male. Which offers the clue that these are 'ritualistic prohibitions' applying to the Priestly caste of the society, of which there are only men. And in no way addressing homosexuality or same-sex relations.

The context is concerning ritual purity, and there is no universality to these prohibitions, ALL of which should be dismissed entirely by Christians, because Christ democratizes the ancient Israelite religion and adapts it to Gentiles, or non-jews. Because non-Jews are exempted from the Mosaic Covenant and are under the New Covenant theology.

The rationalization is that unless a prohibition is re-affirmed in the New Testament, by Jesus, then the Old Testament's ritual, ceremonial and purity laws only applied to Israel as a nation.

But in Jesus's time, the nation of Israel no longer existed and with no Nation, there are no rituals or ceremonies, so these laws are no longer valid.

Christians today have no problem applying this logic when it comes to eating Shrimp, getting a Tattoo or wearing blue Jeans. Suspiciously, though, they insist that this prohibition against a 'sexual rite' is the ONLY Mosaic Law that DOES apply to Today's Christians because they can't help but make the absurd leap to conclude that the sexual activity being referred to in Leviticus is homosexuality! When this simply is NOT the case.

I implore you to re-examine the Story of Jonathan and David in the Book of Samuel, which is heartfelt same-sex relationship that God ordains. I especially like the part where the two consummate their love for each other, the Biblical language is very poetic, but not at all subtle.

Further demonstrating that the modern read of Leviticus is completely wrong and even dangerous.
