No.
Claiming to know exactly what the Bible says and means in regards to any particular subject, and condemning people based on that only premise is what is wrong.
How are you any better than the Homosexual that lives across from you? Aren't you both human beings that aren't perfect?
How are your sins less than his/her sins?
You literally think that loving on people is the same as saying "You are an abomination" because a passage in Leviticus says so? What about the fact that you are wearing denim and polyester, or that you likely trim your beard, or that you probably eat shrimp and pork? Or Only the apparent anti homosexuality passage is valid?

I would say that you are quite ignorant. Here's a verse from the OT LXX that uses the two root words (άρσενος κοίτην; arsenos koite) of ἀρσενοκοίτης (arsenokoites) to indicate male homosexual sex.
ἀρσενοκοίτης (arsenokoites) is just a combination of these two words to designate a male homosexual. This was written 2nd or 3rd century BC, so it blows your claim out of the water that "ἀρσενοκοίτης = homosexual" is just a modern transliteration with modern Christian bias.
Nice try, but no cigar.
And whoever shall lie with a male (άρσενος κοίτην) as with a woman, they have both wrought abomination; let them die the death, they are guilty. Leviticus 20:13

I never tried once to convince anyone that God is down with it, all I said is that we are in no place to condemn, or even be derrogatory towards anyone. No matter if they are Gay, weird, fat, lonely, or sexually immoral at any level.
In your opinion, does that advance the betterment of society?
How is this:
A good thing?
Do you think that is edifying for someones spirit?

So shall we remove scripture from the bible concerning homosexuality, and never discuss it?
You are not a Christian. Your only purpose on this site, is to promote a homosexual agenda. It burns you up to no end, that Christians refuse to join the homosexuals revolt against God.
Discussion about specific statements made by God, is no condemnation.

I don't think the bible was written to tell "sinners" what they already know.
What burns me to no end is hatred.
That in fact is diametrically opposed to the Golden rule.
By the way, I don't believe the Bible to be inherent and it has very human origins.
I am no longer a Christian, partly because of the ugly truth I finally accepted.

Because I was one for a long time, at least 14 years, or 20 some odd years if you count my child hood.
It is a recent thing that has occurred to me, and I like to talk to people on here because it is a good tool to understand how widely missunderstood the bible and Christianity is.
Ironically what killed my faith was the faith itself.
I too would go preaching in the streets, telling others to repent or else they would burn in hell and I would baste in the glory of the Lord in heaven.
I too thought that I had the Holy Spirit, yet I ended up on the other side of the fence.
Either it left me, or it tricked me. Maybe I was wrong and never had it because it probably doesn't exist, or because I am a reprobate, destined to burn for eternity by default; not sure which one though.

Exactly! Jews Living in the intertestamnetal period, under Roman rule (ancient Romans spoke Latin and Greek in case you didn't know). You forget that the Torah, Nevi'im and Ketuvim are much, much, older and they are the original versions of scripture, written in Hebrew.
True and complete meaning is almost always lost in translation.
Jews today do not use A Greek translation, they use a Hebrew version because that is the original language.
