"...in actuality I KNOW FOR ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY that the Bible is indeed True. It is regardless of what you state, the Bible is Still True."
For you. Personal certainty does not establish universal truth. No one can argue you can't believe what you do. Neither can you argue that non-believers can reject your assertions as inapplicable to them.

Homosexuality is not a choice, regardless of what the bible says, which makes what the bible says false.
If you read the parts of the Old Testament that Christians pick and choose from to build their code of ethics, you'll note that the Bible says nothing about homosexuality. It was not understood then the way we understand it today. All the O.T. condemns is homosexual-like behavior. It presumes those committing such acts were heterosexual. The writers of the O.T. had no concept of homosexual orientation, and in their ignorance presumed acts such as men lying with men as with women were men that would otherwise be lying with women. It was beyond their understanding that some men might be disposed to lying with other men. Notice there's no similar prohibition against women lying with women as with a man. Probably because their society was very paternalistic and little concern was shown for what women did as long as they performed their wifely duties.
