None of the scriptures commonly used to condemn same-gender-loving individuals have anything to do with two men (or women)
who enter into a monogamous, committed, relationship based on love, devotion, or commitment (or a covenant relationship similar
to that of David and Johnathan. Read about their relationship throughout the Book of 1 Samuel (Authorized King James Version).
Note in 2 Samuel 1:26 that as David was lamenting over the slain body of Johnathan, David declared that Johnathan's love
to him was "sweet, PASSING the love of women". In other words, Johnathan's love for David was all he could have
had with a woman plus so much more.
Those scriptures commonly used to condemn same-gender-loving individuals are related to an acronym I refer to as SIR FLIPPP.
