This, to me, looks more of an attempt to criticize the Bible. Why single out homosexuality? What did Jesus say to the crowd, when a woman was caught in adultery? He said, "You who have no sin, cast the first stone." None could do it. They were just as guilty of sin.
God doesn't categorize sin. Humans do. Sin is sin, to God. All sin separates us from God, regardless of what it is. That's the point. God hates sin, because it keeps us separated from Him, until it is confessed and repented of. He hates sin, but loves the people, themselves. God loves all people the same. And we're all in need of salvation, not just some. John 3:16-17
@LadyGrace you're almost 80 and still brainwashed. That ridiculous book, written by and for males...to control everyone is SO anti-woman and free thinking...and you are still asleep
@fernie2 My belief is the Bible was written by humans and contains the values of the society at the time it was written...favoring men for sure. I do not say this to deny anyone their beliefs in God or spirituality or whatever. i would go further to believe that much of organized religion is the same--created by humans mostly men, to reflect their values, to control people, to offer solace to some...I consider myself a very spiritual person, but not in an organized institutional or scripted way. I was actually a strong church-goer considering being a minister, but too many humans frailties got in the way...too many who wanted to use religion for their own selfish needs...my religion is one of love, love for all others and all creatures and nature...with no artificial structures necessary.
