T...Contradictions between the OT and NT such as...? That's kind of a tall order.<br /><br />And I'm going to echo natur's comment above. Loving relationships between men do not, by default, include sexual activity. What they *do* include is, of course, love. Chaste relationships are the biblical norm outside of marriage, so I ask about the contradictions you're referencing because this comes down (as you more or less pointed out) to this question: Does the Bible have the right (and consistency) to govern all of life, including that of my activity in my bedroom?<br /><br />And, I think that's the right question.

But ...I may come back with a further comment later. But for now I'll just say that it seems to me that there are many loving relationships, and many kinds of loving relationships which do not involve sexual activity. So being in a loving relationship with another man does not imply that God would approve of sexual activity.<br /><br />Well, I can't resist another comment. Is the reason you are undecided that you have been trying unsuccessfully to rationalize conduct that you know is wrong? It would be convenient if you could honestly tell yourself that sex between two men in a loving relationship is not wrong. Which is why you keep trying to. But you can't. IMO the New Testament is clear: it's not talking about orientation; it's talking about conduct.naturgesetzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15268507379933286863noreply@blogger.com
