1 | Homosexuality, sin or not? | Lev 20:13 | Fox | 150439 | ||
As for Sodom and Gomorrah, personally, I don't see how anyone can think the city was destroyed because of homosexuality. I've heard some argue that “know” used here does not means “to have sex with”, but honestly it doesn't matter. Even if the men of the city wanted to have sex with the men (angels) that were in Lot's house, it is clear that it would be a forced sex. That is to say, rape. Rape is sin regardless of whether it is homosexual or heterosexual. So therefore I don't believe that whether homosexuality is sin or not can be shown or even supported by the story of Sodom and Gomorrah. (Also note that the bible mentions the sins of Sodom and Gomorrah elsewhere, but never specifically mentions homosexuality among them.) Just because Jesus didn't mention it does not mean that it is not sin, however, it also doesn't mean it is (obviously). As for Leviticus, one thing that bothers me about that is that it makes no mention of women with women. Yet it does specifically mention women with animals. This makes me think there must be something else to it. (there are other things about the context that lead me to think this as well) I could go on, but to keep this relatively short, I have found nothing in the Bible that shows it to be “clearly against” homosexuality. In fact, I'm not convinced that the Bible is against homosexuality at all. |
