This intends to take a stance of defending homosexuality by attacking Scripture as uncertain about homosexuality and conclusions about homosexuality based on Scripture are unwarranted. I give this a middle of the road rating as it gives a portrait of distorted thinking when a biased mind chooses to defend sin. However, if this is intended to change the mind of Christians toward an acceptance of sinful behavior into the ranks of Christianity then it is an offense to the church and to Christ himself.
