Homosexual Discussion ForumGOD dit NOT create Adam and STEEVE it was EVEThe OT prohibition concerning same sex relationships is not based on defining just one word; it is based on the description of the act: Your comments concerning the Hebrew do apply to how the KJ translates “qadesh” in Deuteronomy 23:17. ”Qadesh” is better translated “male cult devotee” and can apply to both straights and gays. Now, as to Paul’s use of “arsenokoites” in 1 Corinthians 6:9, the Greek word is not found in Greek literature prior to Paul. However, the Greek words “arsen” and “koites” are found in the Septuagint in Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13 so any Greek or Hellenistic Jew who was acquainted with the Septuagint would have understood Paul is referring to same sex sexual relationships. Although an “orientation” is not a sin, what one does with their orientation can be a sin, as Jesus makes clear in Matthew 5 when He equates lust with adultery. |
