Please clarify. If you mean to say that modern folk
have generally misunderstood Paul's views on the
subject, I fear you are woefully mistaken.
On basic difference between Paul and his modern interpreters is that homosexuality is now understood as an "orientation". Paul understood it as a specific act. Paul was not condemning (or condoning) committed relationships between people of the same gender. That there could even be such a thing as "committed relationships between people of the same gender" I doubt had even occurred to Paul as an option.
