AN ALERT

This is a new movie that is attempting to say the word homosexual is a mistranslation of 1 Corinthians 6:9.

This is just another attempt by Satan to distort the Word of God in an attempt to "justify" the chosen sinful lifestyles of homosexuals and lesbians...and who knows what else.

*****

The verse in question in English and Greek with the key word bolded:

Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals,

As rendered in the Greek. ἢ οὐκ οἴδατε ὅτι ἄδικοι θεοῦ βασιλείαν οὐ κληρονομήσουσιν; Μὴ πλανᾶσθε· οὔτε πόρνοι οὔτε εἰδωλολάτραι οὔτε μοιχοὶ οὔτε μαλακοὶ οὔτε ἀρσενοκοῖται

Every Greek manuscript has the word ἀρσενοκοῖται.

The word means:

733 arsenokoítēs (from 730 /árrhēn, "a male" and 2845 /koítē, "a mat, bed") – properly, a man in bed with another man; a homosexual.

Combine this with Romans 1:26-27

26For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, 27and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error. (NASB)

The only error being made is on the part of the people producing this mess.

The Bible is consistent on this issue. God created Adam and Eve and sanctioned marriage between only one man and one woman.

Anything else is a lie out of the pit.

Plus the entire tradition of the Church over 2000 years has been unequivocal on this matter.

What do we expect of the so-called “Pride” movement?

“Well, you see...you Christian dummies got this wrong for 2000 years, but WE came along and translated it *correctly* don’tcha know!”

Titanic hubris.

Never mind that the Church Fathers who helped set the Church teaching on homosexuality *spoke NT Greek natively*. If what you say is at variance with what they say, you got yourself some ‘splainin to do.

It is true that the word "homosexual" is not found in the Bible. The word was invented in modern times by a homosexual activist. In Biblical times, there was no concept of a "homosexual" as a distinct type of person. What the Bible condemned were sexual acts between members of the same sex. "Homosexual" is simply shorthand for Greek words that referred to those acts.

There is no doubt that both the Old and New Testaments clearly condemned the sexual behaviors that are central to today's homosexual culture.

As noted there typically is a conflation of two Greek words to arrive at "homosexuals" (typically) in modern NT translations.

This might have been edited/excised out of interests that would leave more explicit understandings out of what is rarely discussed in polite company and which many parents would perhaps like not to see discussed.

μαλακοὶ (malakoi) soft ones/"catchers," dominated
catamites

ἀρσενοκοῖται (arsenokoitai) "pitchers," dominators
sodomites

Both refer to males in their first order understanding, though a more generalized second order sin of desire to dominate or be dominated sexually by a same sex person is perhaps somewhat implied.

Sodomites keeping young boys as sex slaves is probably much more a purview of bloodline Satan worshipers (read: Deep State initiates) than what polite company presently discusses. In bible times, such things were perhaps more openly known and less private. These things are now also more well-known among muslim peoples.

In any event, no LGBTQIA+ activist has any reason at all to complain, as if more complete explanation or translation would at all be a vindication for such a "life style." Our Maker God has revealed that He is against it (period).

Well the Bible interpreters are ASSUMING you are homosexual if you bed another male.
