I hate to break it to all the Christian homosexuals we have on ADISC, but your religion doesn't accept homosexuality, no matter which way the Bible's interpreted.

And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper.

According to Christianity: Homosexuality goes against the natural order created by God. God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Joe. God has created this and what God creates is right. Most homosexuals don't believe being gay is wrong. Without any awareness of their sinfulness, there will be no repentance and trusting in Jesus. Without Jesus, they will have no forgiveness. Without forgiveness, there is no salvation.
I hope the man loses and the Bible companies win. Although I, personally, am horrified by the Bible, the Bible companies have a right to publish the Bible in any way they want. And just because the Bible hurt the guy's feelings doesn't mean he can sue them for thousands of dollars. Give me a break. I might as well just sue everyone company that makes a book I find offensive.
And by the way, I have no problem with homosexuality. I'm just pointing out what Christianity thinks of it.
