Utterly wrong.

It contains at least three words for "homosexual", including what we 
might call the "active" and "passive" sides of a male homosexual 
relationship, and condemns them all separately and together.

Practitioners of homosexuality are as thoroughly and explicitly excluded 
from Heaven as are thieves and murderers. No more, and no less. As much 
as we are called on to love and convert thieves and murderers to God's 
side, so we are called on to love and convert those who choose to 
practice sexual abberations.

As to the rest of the assertions therein, I don't feel called to 
research them but guess that they're all just as wrong.
