And in those two places, it is in the very same context of in the Book of Leviticus, chapters 18, 19, and 20. If you don't read all three of those same chapters together, you are missing the actual context of them.  

I see that people are posting messages here without even reading what other members of Dr. Phil's internet community are writing.  

Real homosexual men don't lie with another male pretending that the male is a woman. In the context of Leviticus' chapters, a heterosexual man goes to a pagan temple to make a sexual sacrifice to the Canaanite fertility goddess, Asherah (also known as Astarte or Asteroth).  

The purpose of the sacrifice of semen (called "seed" in the KJV) to the goddess is to "plant a 'seed' in the male holy person doing a stand-in for Asherah and that "holy" person dressed up like a woman, too. The holy person knows that he is not the goddess; but, in the spiritual/psychological mind of the heterosexual man who is a Canaanite to begin with in that context, HE IS HAVING SEX WITH A WOMAN  . . .  NOT WITH ANOTHER MAN!  

In those 3 chapters, the Israelites are being told not to follow certain religious practices related to the CANAANITE culture. In modern times, we refer to the CANAANITES as PHOENICIANS, but, they were actually the very same people!  

Oh, the residents of Sodom were not Canaanites; because Sodom was NOT in Canaan at all and any well-read student of the Bible would know that when Abram (later called Abraham) and his nephew, Lot, decided that the country of Canaan was not big enough for both of them and all of their sheep and cattle, etc., Lot moved to the east across the Jordan River out of the country of Canaan into the "Plain of Jordan" (just called Jordan in modern times). 

In Romans 1, where it mentions men having sex with each other, the sexual activity actually takes place in a pagan place of worship where fertility gods are honored. Roman holy men in service to pagan gods also dressed up like females as in the Canaan. And, in the Roman pagan places of worship of fertility deities, where male gods were also revered, women strapped on male sexual devices and pretended to represent the god. It was not considered a natural sex act for a woman to pretend to be a man and have anal sexual intercourse with a heterosexual man.
