Confused about scripture

[tyciol]

What I remember was there are some verses like 'a man should not lay with another man as you would with a woman' or something like that.

What I am confused with though, is don't the homosexuals do very different things than what we heterosexually do with women? I mean like, I would like to have heterosexual married intercourse in the missionary position with my female wife.

Homosexuals not only would not do this with a woman, but what they do with each other is widely different than this, they have homosexual unmarried sodomy in a dog position.

Also, why does that passage not address women? Can they lie together because they lack a penis?

I believe I am being tested so that I can use my faith to find an answer in why it was worded this way. It would have been clearer to say something like "men, don't put your penis in one another, and avoid touching except when circumcizing to create a convenant with me" right?

What church do you attend? What did your pastor say about these questions?

The Holy Bible certainly does address the nightmare of lezbeanism. Any Christian worth his salt knows this verse:

Romans 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

This is the only clear reference to lesbians in the Bible, but clear it is.

The Bible was divinely inspired, and divinely preserved into English in the KJV 1611. The language of the Bible is perfect.

Sin puts distance between us and the LORD. When you accept Jesus into your heart and surrender to God, we are drawn into His bosom. The language of the Bible is perfectly clear for one with faith.

I don't like to think what they do instead, because that is a thought that is not what we want now do we? We need to focus on heterosexuality only, because that is what the Lord has thought us.

1 Corinthians 6:9
Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders

Homosexuals not only would not do this with a woman, but what they do with each other is widely different than this, they have homosexual unmarried sodomy in a dog position.

First of all I think that you need to follow the way of Jesus and overcome the test. It is clear that God is testing you. Do not be tempted to find interest in homosexual behaviour or their nasty habits.
