Sheila wrote, in part:
>>The Bible does, however, clearly state that homosexual acts are wrong:
Leviticus 20:13 says, "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a
woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put
to death; their blood shall be upon them.">>
Let us distinguish between exegesis (what the writer meant to say to his
target audience) and hermenautics (what we are to glean as a meaning for us
today.
From the exegesis viewpoint, your statement is quite obviously correct.
From the hermenautic viewpoint, your sentence #1 does not necessarily
follow.
The arguments for this are on my web site.
