Bible Question: Why are homosexuals nt accepted - is it true that their sexuality is a result of their genes? Does God accept homosexuals? Can homosexuals be Christians? |
Bible Answer: Because of Leviticus 18:22 chritains beleive that this small statement, is more truer than genetics and science, they beleive homosexuality is a choice that can be changed! But if god created us in his image, he created us the way we are, and god love all of his creations! Then christain people go on to tell you there version of sodom and gommorah, they say that god burned the city of gommorah because its inhabitants were homosexual, when infact this is not entirely true, yes there was homosexual acts goin on, but this was to do with temple prostitution were adult men would have sex with male children, to pass on there wisdom, also the reason why god did burn the city down was because of the wickedness of the inhabitants, which did not nescaraly mean the gay people! There was 2 cases of attepted same sex rape in the bible and at least one of them had connections with sodom and gommoroah, im sure of this but it may be an idea to check it out! Also god told the inhabitants to leave the city and not turn back, and if they did they would be punished, and they did, and god killed them! The word homosexuality did not appear in the bible until 1949, before that it was vague, and you'l find the further back in time you go the editions of the bibles would get a bit more confusing and easy to mis interpret if you look in the latest bible at leviticus 18:22 then look at the same passage in the king james version you will see what im trying to say! There have been 27'000 editions of the bible as far as i know, and in my beleive, each edition may have been altered to say what was the current moralistic view of the people, also there are a lot of words in the hebrew and greek that can not be fully translated into todays english! Finally i want to mention 2 things, first off, there was to gay couples mentioned in the bible in a positive light Naomi and Ruth, and janathon and david, so it would be an idea to look up these people! Secondly jesus christ him self did not mention one word about homosexuality neither as god, only the leviticus, the romans and deutromony whos word are we taking theres or jesus and gods? The bible has many contradictions, so it would be worth while researching the bible, the torah and make up your own mind, then that is your beleive and yes you can call yourself christian and be homosexual if thats what you beleive in! I myself do beleive homosexuality is ok, mainly for the scientific prove that keeps unfolding, and for the fact that god created us in his image! I hoped that helped a little, and if you want to talk to me about it in more depth or maybe help me research the bible just reply to this post! Take Care, Defender against Prejudice |
