This is a similiar instance of the "he who is without sin" scripture. Anyone can take one sentence and use to to their benefit. However, when you take things our of context, then the whole meaning is lost. (I can post some specific examples if anyone is interested).
If I use the scripture "take up your sword and fight" to justify stabbing someone, that does not mean that the Bible condones it. Yes, that is actually written in the Bible, but what i failed to mention is that it is used to describe the Word of God (as the sword), not an actual sword. (This is explained in the same paragraph where this scripture is located).
There are some things that are specific as to what is a sin. To the point if you look in the Bible (any translation) it will say "______ is a sin". Homosexuality is one of them.
