It would take me forver to respond to the last few entries with proper care, and really I would rather be discussing Tolkien (on this site). However, here are 3 verses from the Bible in 3 different versions (King James Version, New King James Version, and New American Standard respectively.
Please do not respond to me as if these are my commands/statements. I am only providing Scripture.
Leviticus 18:22 (in this context, God is speaking to men (male gender))
"Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it [is] abomination." (KJV)
"You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an
abomination." (NKJV)
"You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an
abomination." (NASB)
Leviticus 20:13
"Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it [is] abomination." (KJV)
"If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of
them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be
put to death. Their blood shall be upon them." (NKJV)
"If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a
woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they
shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltiness is upon
them." (NASB)
1 Corinthians 6:9
"Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God?
Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor
effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind." (KJV)
"Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the
kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators,
nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor
sodomites," (NKJV)
"Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the
kingdom of God ? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators,
nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals"
, (NASB)
