Why does the God of the Bible condemn homosexual acts?

Why can’t some Christians?

There were Male Shrine Prostitutes in the OT book of Kings, that practice was old in Paul’s time. Many dismiss the idea based what seem to be personal or sociological reasons, not archaeological ones.

The truth is, the Old Testament and New Testaments say next to nothing and sexual orientation is a relatively new concept.

Christ bore that, so, hard pass, thanks.

Further Musings:

Scholars and translators know this. The Greek translation of Arsenokoitace is uncertain. The word was coined by Paul (probably) or a contemporary of his. Any person who says they know exactly what Paul meant is lying (seriously).

I broke up with my boyfriend because he wasn’t transparent about his past, it hurts me and he doesn’t care. I told him in the beginning of our relationship that it was a deal breaker for me what do I do?

Last, Leviticus. Two almost identical verses. One sex act (If translated correctly. The Hebrew words are sparse. People debate everything).

Christ bringing up Genesis is not Him being exclusionary, it is Him reminding these lecherous men that their wives are bound to their hearts.

Since Paul is who most homophobes run to in order to support their case, I went to him first, there really isn’t much left.

What are the bitter truths of life one should know?

Those women were shunned, shamed, casted out and abandoned. The man had all the power and Jesus dared to challenge that. Even His disciples were astounded.

Him and I are good and that’s all I need.

Today we have Divorce courts, protections, child custody, child and spousal support.

Are you more of a butt guy or a boob guy?

(So please, before you enforce celibacy on another, castrate yourself … or leave other people alone?)

What? It’s okay for David to be both a man after God’s own heart and a Bloody Bipolar Adulterer who even desecrated what was holy, as long as he wasn’t Bisexual, right? Lol

Try to break free from the shackles of it and you will find yourself outside the fold Pastor.

I gave him everything. He said he loved me. Why?

Right?

If you embrace the fact that David “embraced” Jonathan and God was cool with it, you find that your concepts about what God “hates” get thrown out.

Men interpret Scriptures certain ways, but Jesus said we make void the Word by our tradition. Groupthink is tradition.

Why do all the stupid people think Donald J. Trump is stupid?

No. Rape is violence, not sex. The story is about kidnapping into slavery and the abuse of strangers.

If anything, Paul was writing about male prostitutes, not LGBT.

I am not a Jewish man. I’m am not under any part of the Law for my righteousness. To place myself under the Law for my righteous standing with God would be to put myself under the curse of the Law listed in Dt 28.

What are some things that normal people do that religious people call sins?

Does He?

No one knows.

Sodom and Gomorrah. Two cities completely filled with Gay men, young and old. Cities who recently had gone to war, who Abraham had rescued, who Lot went back to live among, who tried to rape two angels that they mistook for men … I guess.

Just sitting at home with this huge cock. Who can take care of it for me?

(What do you think he would write a line or two about?)

Many believe Paul is writing about what he sees, temples that have male and female prostitutes engaged in ritual activities.

Where?

Why should the law care about what I do behind closed doors?

Didn’t they read Galatians? Romans? James and his “Law of Liberty.” The entire New Testament? You can even find Grace in the Old Testament, some of the Rabbis have.

In Romans chapter 1, verses 26–27 are cherry-picked out of the context which starts in verse 18. The context is Idolatry.

Mt 19 is about Divorce. Jesus’ reference to Celibacy is that it is a gift from God and that not everyone can receive it.

Answer to: Why does the God of the Bible condemn homosexual acts?

Homophobia is a billion dollar business for Corporate Christianity. Isn’t it?

Why is it the Legalists always run to the Law?

Inhospitable, loathsome, yet leave it to homophobia to twist it and miss it (the verse they use in Jude fails the test because of this).

These were common in that culture in Athens, Corinth, Ephesus, Rome, and Crete, all places Paul went. They existed centuries after Paul.
