Ptolemy, my source for the transmission of HIV orally is from the CDC and The Body. As an AIDS patient who promotes truth about the transmission of HIV and the best way to prevent infection I suggest you do some research from reliable sources before you pass on information that is false. Do an Internet search using "oral transmission of HIV" and you can find lots of information.
To further understand why so many Christians view anal intercourse as universal among the gay community take a trip to the library and look up all the pictures where gay men are carrying signs reading “Celebrate Sodomy” after the Supreme Court struck down the Texas Sodomy laws. Then check out the definition of “sodomy”. The gay community is the main source of information about the gay community, not “homophobic” Christians.
If you think throwing the word “homophobic” around is going to make your case you are dead wrong. I am not homophobic and never have been, yet you lump me and all other ex-gay Christians together with those who lack knowledge of homosexuality. If you really want understanding then cease using that term and demonstrate your humanity to those who have never known a gay person.
As to homosexuality being genetic, no ethical molecular geneticist has ever stated that homosexuality has a genetic cause. When Dean Hamer prematurely published his research in the Journal of Nature he did not claim to have found a "gay gene". He reported that he found a "genetic marker" on chromosome X29 in 80% of his research universe. The media jumped on this as a "gay gene". His research was severely criticized by his peers because he did not have a control group, limited his research universe to gay men whose mother had a gay brother. He did not include heterosexual brothers, their fathers, or any gay brother of the father. His research has been relegated to "poor science". Hamer was not able to duplicate his original findings in subsequent studies.
In his book the Science of Desire Hamer has stated that homosexuality is probably caused by a combination of factors including environment, biology, and personality. There is absolutely no empirical evidence that homosexuality is genetic. He also said that not all gay men have the marker not all men who have the marker are or will be gay.
No Christian who knows anything about homosexuality claims anyone makes a conscious choice to be gay. I have spent 20 years trying to educate Christians about homosexuality and it causes, which include more psychological roots than biological roots. Although homosexuals do not choose to have the desires they do choose to act upon those desires. You can love another man without engaging in sexual relationships with a man. Sex is a choice regardless is you are gay or straight.
Appealing to the Torah is ludicrous. The priests were all from one Jewish tribe, the Levites. No Levite with any defect could serve in the Temple. God required His priests to be perfect. If you have read the NT then you should have read “Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect.”
The laws regarding menstruation were health laws. Disease can be transmitted in blood. Ask any woman if she desires sex during her cycle and most will say no because of physical distress. So God had many issues in mind when He made this law. “Life is in the blood.” Have you noticed the importance God places on blood? Have you bothered to study the OT or are you simply looking for reasons to denigrate Christianity and our Jewish roots? May I suggest you study Acts 15?
As to “arsenokoites”, Paul was Greek and used the Septuagint. 1 Corinthians was written to Greeks, and Timothy had a Greek father and a Jewish mother so his native language was Greek. All you need to understand about “arsenokoites” is how it applies to Judaism, not how it is used in classical Greek literature. Paul’s readers who used the Septuagint would have understood the connection with Leviticus 18:22, Leviticus 20:10 and 1 Corinthians 6:9, 1 Timothy 1:10.
All your doing is attempting to use semantics (words) to confuse God’s truth. I see you have avoided addressing Revelation 21:7-8. The abominable and immoral will find their eternal home in the lake of fire. In God’s realm He defines immorality and what is abominable not liberal humans who are seeking to change God’s truth in the name of cheap grace. God’s grace caused the death of Jesus Christ and His sacrifice was not cheap.
