1 | Now vs. Paul's day- lust and Romans | Rom 1:27 | ptgard05 | 116408 | ||
Lust was not the same in Biblical times as it is now. Now we think of lust as purely a sexual downfall, but I have read this this is not what it was supposed to mean in Paul's day and time. So, does this verse condemn homosexuality? Or does it condemn lusting over another man's possesions? Please help me. | ||||||
2 | Now vs. Paul's day- lust and Romans | Rom 1:27 | Emmaus | 116460 | ||
ptgard, Lust can apply in some contexts to other sins, such as lusting for gold or power or whatever. But not in Romans 1:27. What "shameful acts" do you think Paul was referring to in Romans 1:27? Picking each other's pockets because they "abandoned the natural function" of picking women's pockets? One has to be willfully blind not to see that Paul is referring to un-natural sexual intercourse between men. Emmaus |

Please don't belittle my question to obsurdity. I wasn't insinuating that it meant "Picking each other's pockets because they "abandoned the natural function" of picking women's pockets?"... i don't think that it has a sexual meaning. There are numerous other things that it could mean and "one has to be willfully blind not to see that". |

For example? I am not belittleling, but asking what else it could possible mean after 2,000 years of everyone understanding that it means homosexual intercourse. Emmaus |

2,000 years means nothing. Slavery was accepted for over 2,000 years..women had basically no rights for over 2,000 years...blacks had essentially no rights for a while......time doesn't matter. Lust means jealousy, men can be jealous of many things. | ||||||
