88. So, in that case, you understand that there is no literal opposition to being gay in the Bible?
If I understand you correctly, you are saying that you believe that the Bible is the Word of God, and you try to hold yourself accountable to it, but not in a robotic sense. Is that right? So, for instance, you don't obey all the directions - like the parts about stoning people, not being allowed to wear cotton-polyester blends, or not eating a cheeseburger or drinking a glass of milk with a bologna sandwich sometimes?

Therefore, there's no reason to take the few passages in the Old Testament about homosexuals as literal commandments, right? Therefore, there is no biblical condemnation of being gay, any more than there is biblical condemnation for a steak and cheese sandwich, correct?
