Is the Bible Ambiguous about Homosexuality?

The Bible is not ambiguous about Homosexuality ti is clearly condemned in Scripture. Scripture that clearly condemns Homosexuality include but are not limited to Leviticus 18:22, 1 Corinthians 6:9, and Romans 1:27. Many liberal scholars try to say the condemnation of Homosexuality is in fact an condemnation of pagan temple practices only and not "committed" gay relationships. This is false if one where to look at the Greek and Hebrew it is shown that homosexuality is condemned not only the pagan cultic practices which are also condemned. the truly ugly side of this argument is not from those who believe Homosexuality is sin but from those bastions of "tolerance" that attack those that trust the Bible. A perfect example of this is the 2007 documentary For The Bible Tells Me So in which all defenders of the traditional view of Scripture are compared to everything from Nazis to the extremest pseudo Christian cultists at The Westburro Baptist Church. While a cadre of liberal gay and pro gay scholars and notables are paraded out to show that Homosexuality is "o.k." Archbishop Desmond Tutu even goes so far as to compare those condemning Homosexuality to the leaders of The Apartheid regime. All I have to say is there is hope for the homosexual as there is for any person lost in sin just read the rest of 1 Corinthians 6 and you will see there is hope. Reprtive therepey which is trumpeted by groups like Exdous International, Focus On The Family and NARTH do nothing it is the eqvilent to putting a band aid over a gun shot wound. Homosexuality is a sin issue and only a Holy God with His Holy Word and Holy Spirit can heal the sin sck soul be they a homosexual, gossip, drunk or theif whatever the sin may be God can forgive it and make you new and as pure as the frresh and pure drivien snow see Isaiah 1:16-20
