Homosexual Discussion ForumReprobate mind?The holiness code of the Old Testament was done away with for the followers of Jesus the Christ when he took our place as the sacrificial passover lamb. Jesus did not abolish the Law of the Old Covenant, he fulfilled it so that those who chose to follow him would not be under the curse of the Law. In the Sermon on the Mount, Matthew 5 through 7, Jesus referred to Moses' commandments as something which was said of olden times and then he added to those he quoted, "But, I say unto you . . ." making the original commandment invalid replacing it with a new one or making the old one stronger. You need to know that what I know about homosexuality and the Bible did not come from gay theologians. How about what is in Ecclesiastes 4:4-12 4 Again, I saw that for all toil and every skillful work a man is envied by his neighbor. This also is vanity and grasping for the wind. 5The fool folds his hands And consumes his own flesh. 6Better a handful with quietness Than both hands full, together with toil and grasping for the wind. 7Then I returned, and I saw vanity under the sun: 8There is one alone, without companion: He has neither son nor brother. Yet there is no end to all his labors, Nor is his eye satisfied with riches. But he never asks, "For whom do I toil and deprive myself of good?" This also is vanity and a grave misfortune. 9 Two are better than one, Because they have a good reward for their labor. 10For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, For he has no one to help him up. 11Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm; But how can one be warm alone? 12Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him. And a threefold cord is not quickly broken. The "two" of verse 9 is masculine. "companion" here is the same word for male partner as in "adult boy friend" in Hebrew. "lie down together" is the very same verb as in Leviticus 18 and 20. "Keep warm" and "be warm" are also from the Hebrew euphemism (polite way of saying something) for sexual arousal and excitement." It was my mother who pointed this out to me as far as the text in English is concerned. Oh, while I am thinking of it, "eunuchs" are those who might not be able to have children but can be married just the same. If one looks at the Hebrew about the story of Joseph and his working for Potiphar, the literal text states that Potiphar was a eunuch. But, it was Potiphar's wife who tried to seduce Joseph. |
