Bible Question: Some unbelievers have the idea Paul was a homosexual. What gives them this idea? There is nothing in the Bible that gives even a hint that he was other than stating he loved Thomas. |
Bible Answer: God's day to you, Merrilee, and welcome to the SBF, Instead of giving what Paul said (Rom 1:26-27), which you knew ... I will answer your question why unbelievers have the idea Paul was a homosexual ... If I read correctly the following: - I think John Shelby Spong cited Paul's thorn in the flesh as the reason (2Co 12:7-9) ... http://www.beliefnet.com/Faiths/Christianity/2004/04/Was-The-Apostle-Paul-Gay.asp -- Also read http://www.gayheroes.com/paul.htm - I think another cites Paul having Timothy circumcised(Act 16:3) ... http://www.apostleofdoom.com/did-paul-had-homosexual-urges/ - For the link below, replace the question mark for (QM) replace the equal sign for (EQ) ... this includes citing Paul was not married (1Co 7:8) (which I would have used) ... http://forums.carm.org/vbb/archive/index.php/t-63012.html(QM)s(EQ)0c339e16d10bf79f59ec5c78ad980d9f ... or Google "Was the Apostle Paul Gay" I don't agree with them. We are able to refute these points. The main refute is it doesn't line up with what he said in Romans 1:26-27. Searcher |
