I personally prefer the original Kione Greek version, which I can't reproduce here because there's no Greek font. It basically reads that sodomites (an old English word for homosexuality before that term was coined) are included in I Cor. 6:9. Other condemnations about homosexuality can be found in Romans 1:27(men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned with lust toward one another).

That being said, I think it bears noting here that we are commanded in the exact same book, not four chapters later, to love one another with agape love(self-sacrificing, the highest form of love in Greek). We are to hate the sin, but want the best for the sinner. We need to tell them that we think what they're doing is wrong, but never hound them about it. If someone hounded you, you'd hate them right? So why would God expect Christians to hound non-Christians about sin? I *do not* believe God condones the act of homosexuality at all(he did destroy a city for it after all), but there's no way He hates gays as a certain so-called, self-proclaimed 'reverend' would like you to believe(that's a term reserved for God anyway).

I'm tired of people browbeating me for my belief, but I can't stand it when fellow Christians brow-beat their fellowman because they choose not to follow Christ. We're all humans here, let's act like it.
