I’m fairly confident that liberal Anglicans and Lutherans support these things.
Often times, “christians” who support homosexual activity like to say that the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah was really the result of “inhospitality” when the angels came to the city. It’s also mentioned elswhere (more explicitly) in the bible that homosexual acts will lead to eternal separation from God, but I’ve heard homosexual advocates argue that these passages are only referring to situations where “heterosexual men” are comitting homosexual acts (obviously they believe that homosexuality is natural and it’s only “unnatural” when you’re not experiencing sexual attraction to commit the act).
Obviously these are all garbage arguments. If homosexuality was not one of the major reasons for the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, then why would it even be mentioned that the men of sodom were comitting homosexual acts in the bible?? The second agrument is grossly ingorant of humanity’s fallen nature and that we are all tempted to sin on a very deep, internal level (and that this temptation must be fought with all of our might). Simply put, the view put forth in the second argument would translate into a belief that following one’s venial desires is virtuous, and going against your own temptations must therefore be sinful (and I don’t think satan could phrase an argument like this better, himself).
Really, this whole thing just makes me glad that I am a Catholic and that I have an infallible document, known as the Catechism of the Catholic Church, that can cast out all doubt. The problem is that when you believe in Sola Scriptura, and that your personal interpertation of the bible must be valid, then it leaves holes for abominable beliefs like this to exist under the umbrella of christianity.
