The Daily Beast?
Uh-huh.
‘Nuff said.
Kevin Fallon literally writes for The Daily Beast With Two Backs...
This is dishonest gibberish. The Bible plainly teaches sodomy is a sin throughout, from Genesis through the New Testament. Harping on a single word choice distracts from a truth that has been taught for millenia.
It’s a sin in every religion.
The first time the word “homosexual” appeared in the Bible was in 1946.
The stupid is strong with this one.
Nonsense - as such things are mentioned many times over as being outside the norms of sexual morality without that specific term being mentioned - specifically saying men having relations with men and women with women is unnatural. Doesn’t exactly leave any room for ambiguity. Was all of that “mistranslated” as well?
it’s not in the KJV but it’s completely clear that homosexual behavior, which is described quite graphically, is an abomination.
According to the Bible, MAN and a WOMAN was created.
Not two MALES.
Not two FEMALES.
The Bible is backed by other non-Christian texts, as well.
A MALE AND A WOMAN.
An XY and XX.
The use of ‘homosexual’ was not a mistake.
Homosexuality is mentioned many time in the bible. It is always condemned as being sinful and always has. For example,
“Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.” - Leviticus 18:22 (KJV) The King James Bible was published in 1611.
B.S.
Complete and total gaslighting
That’s silly, the Bible spells it out in several different ways in many places. 1) Can’t get around the fact homosexualiy is an abomination. 2) Jesus paid the death sentence for all sin, for those that repent and put thier trust in him.
Yes. Remember how accepting society was of that before 1946.
What about in Deuteronomy?
It looks like more than one word was mistranslated.
It has long been known that the concept of a “homosexual” as a distinct KIND of person is unknown to the Bible, and that the word is a relatively recent invention. But the Bible clearly rejects specific ACTIONS which are now associated with homosexuality, one of which is described as “lying with a man as with a woman,” and marriage is defined as involving male and female, not people of the same gender. The use of the term “homosexual” in the Bible is a kind of verbal shortcut intended to avoid ancient figures of speech describing prohibited sexual activity.
Thou shalt not lie with a man as with a woman. It is an abomination.
Which word was mistranslated?
The word “homosexual” is in the Bible?........that’s news to me. 🤔
adultery and fornication are 100% sins. PERIOD.
sodomy is not only a sin, but one of the first sins mentioned in the bible, thus why we refer to those who commit sodomy as sodomites. because they commit the same sin as those from Sodom.
If a man has sex with a married woman he commits the sin of adultery.
If a married man has sex with an un-married woman he commits the sin of fornification
If a unmarried or married man has sex with another man, he is also guilty of the sin of fornification, but it is labelled sodomy.
Leviticus 20:13 — The New King James Version (NKJV) 13 If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination.
The 1526 Tyndale translation: “For this cause God gave them up unto shameful lusts. For even their women did change the natural use unto the unnatural. And likewise also the men left the natural use of the woman, and brent in lust one on another among themselves. And man with man wrought filthiness, and received in themselves the reward of their error as it was according.”
Seems clear to me, but that was only 500 years ago...
