No, it's dead wrong from your interpretation of your Bible's viewpoint. I can find you just as many theologians that claim the Bible doesn't claim homosexuality is a sin as those that do.
Your Bible is not the Word of God. Your Bible is the Word translated and interpreted, depending on your particular version, potentially dozens of times. And each time passages are changed slightly to suit the times and/or are simply translated differently by different people. Read the Bible in Hebrew and it's not nearly as cut-and-dry a case as you would probably like it to be.
Absolutely. It's surprising that many people still think that it's the King James Version that was handed down from God.
Just look at the Book of Genesis. There are two versions of the creation story mentioned. There is the Priestly Creation Story (Gen 1:1-2:4). The world is created in six days, culminating with the creation of man on the sixth day. The Yahwist Creation Story follows right after (Gen 2:4-25). This one starts with the creation of man, and then subsequently a world is built up around man. And this is just one example!
Ancient Hebrew was written without vowels. So you may have "KNG DVD LVD." Is that King David lived, or loved? There were also the factors of sloppy handwriting and dittography.
