If you read the Bible, read it whole, don't just quote little sections of it. They lose their context and meaning that way. The Bible is not a weapon. But a teaching tool and a message from God to mankind. God never ever supports hate, it teaches love and acceptance. We have no right, and no business judging each others souls. That is God's privilege.
Feel free to share your thoughts on this topic. What do you think of these parts of the Bible, that are unfortunately, very much under read, and very poorly understood parts of the Bible.
I hope this gives people something to think about. Remember what God said to Peter in the Acts of the Apostles.

FireDragonArmy,
You've raised some pretty good points that I think we should look into them and not just dismiss them like some of us usually do. However, there is no biblical or logical argument in your post that made "this clear and unquestionable proof that homosexuality is not a sin in the eyes of God." In fact, nothing from your post even try to argue that homosexuality is not a sin or no longer a sin. You simply argued that "christians" emphasize on homosexuality being an abomination while disregarding other things that were/are also abominations. Other things being food/meat.
The bottom line is we have
valid biblical reasons to believe that anything in regards to food is ok to eat. You yourself showed the verses. Reading your post, I see you understand quite clearly the purpose of Peter's vision. Aside from the purpose of the vision, we also see that it is ok to eat any type of meat. Furturemore,
1 Corinthians 10:25-26 says: "Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake: For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof." Which means that the whole earth belongs to God and everything in it. Therefore, we may eat as we wish.
In regards to homosexual acts, we have absolutely no reference to it being "ok." In fact, we have more biblical evdience of God's hatred of the sin.
Roman 1:26-27 says: That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other. 27 And the men, instead of having normal sexual relations with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men, and as a result of this sin, they suffered within themselves the penalty they deserved.
My question to you is this: where is your biblical proof or reasons that homosexuality is now ok?
