I claimed one of those quotes were out of context, and it was.
The Romans passage doesn't say anything about love between two men or women, it also says nothing about sex between two people of the same sex who are in a loving committed relationship.
That passage specifically and clearly calls out having sex with someone of the same sex brought on by the passionate lust those people felt because of their worshipping other/false gods. That's nothing new. The Bible claims heterosexual lust is just as much a sin.
Rom. 1:26-28, "For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, 27and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error. 28And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper."
So are you arguing that being "unnatural" and being "indecent" isn't implying it is a sin?
It's like telling someone: "You are a real dickhead" and then arguing that you didn't mean it in a bad way.
