Magnus:

The idea that the church has always blessed same-sex unions is simply unsustainable. The church struggled even with heterosexual relationships in the early centuries and advocated celibacy where possible. There are many attempts to argue that the condemnation of homosexuals is limited to certain types of promiscuous practices, but Romans 1:18-32 does not make such qualifications. Relations between members of the same sex is portrayed as against the design of God. Vice lists affirm the category as a sin. This type of revisionism is not historcial in the least. Like any sin, homosexuality is not regarded as a neutral category, but something that is contrasted by one who is following and responding to God's Spirit.
