Someone put up a billboard of that interpretation recently. Obviously some other Christians don't agree with the view. And clearly Paul didn't approve of homosexuality.
And? Who cares if one of his followers approved of it? If you are following a religion based on the teachings of one man... you should only care what he has to say about it... So screw paul's opinion... And the other christian's opinion of it. (Also, Paul never met jesus, so how much information can he have on jesus' opnion???)
Simply put... if jesus had a problem with it... he would have jumped at that moment and not blessed a homosexual union...
Any interpretation that differs is when Christians try to redefine the word pais... they are doing so ignorantly or applying revisionist practices to language which was not at all ambiguous... Christians may differ on it... but scholars that study that time period, do not.
