Christine,

<<I think this is
unfortunate, especially since the very concept of homosexuality comes from the
nineteenth century, not Biblical times. There is really no mention of homosexuality at all
in the Bible--passages have been translated incorrectly, and interpreted wrongly.)

That is not true. The bible does condemn the act of homosexuality in the Levitical laws. It is described as a "man laying with another man as a man lays with a woman" instead of using the word homosexuality which I think is of Greek origin and came into use later. I am relying on my memory for that but can look it up.

<<since the very concept of homosexuality comes from the

This really is a whopper on your part. Are you suggesting that homosexuality just started recently? That it has never happened before? Have you read about Sodom? where the act of homosexuality got it's original name of "sodomy" which is still used today as the legal term for the act. "The very concept"? Come on. The bible lays out the destruction of Sodom and Gemorah and why, doesn't that qualify as a concept of homosexuality 4-5 thousand years ago?
