Does the Bible contradict its self?

Hebrew for the OT, Aramaic is what Jesus spoke, and Greek is mostly the NT.
There's not much left of it.

The Vatican said they have a true copy but won't display it. Wonder why? Hmm

The Bible says you shouldn't be gay, but the Bible also says love thy neighbour. That's a contradiction.
Actually, here is what the Bible states:
Leviticus 18:22
You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination.
1 Corinthians 6:9
Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites,
Romans 1:26-27
For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
1 Timothy 1:10
for fornicators, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine,
I am not sure that you know how to present a statement for consideration and then provide support for it. We had this same incident when you claimed that God does not love us because we are sinners and sinners go to Hell.
Let me see if I can understand what your argument here is.
Here is what you write lord xyz,
"The Bible says you shouldn't be gay, but the Bible also says love thy neighbour. That's a contradiction"
The Bible states that homosexuality is an abomination. I do not see any contradiction here. Show me where the contradiction is lord xyz. I love homosexuals but I do not approve of homosexuality because God says that it is an abomination. God loves the homosexual, but He hates homosexuality. That is not a contradiction. Do you love someone but hate certain things that they do? For example, I hate drugs but I love the addict. I hate drunkeness but I love the drunk person. God loves the sinner but hates his/her sin. We love the homosexual (i.e. the person) but we hate the homosexuality.
Can you see this lord xyz?

You making it say what you want to.
"You shouldn't be gay" does not translate in application to "do not love gay people." It just says you should not be gay if you are a believer.

A sodomite is a "male" homosexual.

People simply don't understand what inclusive and exclusive cases are. That or they don't research and check the original text and rely on crappy translations like the NIV.
Nor do the people that excessivly quote the Bible.
And even better, most Christian don't understand historical context of the Bible and the history of your religion.
