Romans 1
17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

How do these verses fit in with today’s definitions of homosexuals?

[Gen 19:5 KJV] 5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where [are] the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.
[Lev 18:22 KJV] 22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it [is] abomination.
[Lev 20:13 KJV] 13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood [shall be] upon them.
[Rom 1:26-27 KJV] 26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
They don't fit today's definition of homosexuals!
 
Do you have to use graphic language to reprove someone?

Yes, and I am an example regarding the abortion issue.

When I graduated college I was an ignorant Pro Choice person, because I knew little about fetal development and exercising MFW sounded good. However, when I was confronted with graphic pictures of a seven month old baby outside the womb and a seven month old baby inside the womb I finally realized that geography and mode of breathing were not valid parameters for deciding who should live and die.

IMO, most people including Christians are rather ignorant of homosexuality and tend to think that it is a viable alternative lifestyle, which many--at least Christians--would not believe if they were confronted with graphic pictures of weewees where they don't belong. (How's that for a euphemism?)

We need something to move the Overton Window regarding this issue, as Charile Kirk did regarding transexuality
by describing it as a mental disease, morons maiming children in attempts to do the impossible.
 
Are we seriously debating whether homosexuality is a sin? We're not talking about something like the prohibition on crossdressing that only has one verse to go off of here. Screwing your own sex is verboten, as is lusting.

Do nancy boys practice sodomy? Yes. Does this make them sodomites? Yes. Did the term sodomy come from the city of Sodom? Yes. Tell me, is sodomy a sin?
 
If use of the word "sodomy" to refer to homosexual activity is now regarded as "derogatory and offensive", then simply describe the activity by saying "inserting sexual organs into oral and/or excretal organs".
As kids at recess we played no rules touch football. It was called Smear the Queer. I doubt if we knew what a queer was at that age, but we didn't get all offended by it.

Then we see one of the terms in the Bible, Not the gender neutral bibles with homosexual influences....

7Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
Jude (KJV)


Strange / Queer, synonyms
They even add Q to their chosen inclusive self label. What's the Q stand for?
