Subject: Is homosexuality actually forbidden? |
Bible Note: OK. It has been my experience that the wording of the Bible is very deliberate. Rarely if ever is a word or phrase chosen over another purely for poetic reasons. So when wording differs from passage to passage on the same subject, I have been taught to question the reason for the difference. Thus I find it difficult to accept that qualifying a word by adding another word -- "homosexual" to "homosexual offender" -- is purely a matter of poetic license, because that argument would not be acceptable elsewhere in the Bible. Since you know the original Greek -- is the phrase translated as "homosexual" identical to the phrase translated as "homosexual offender?" Thank you. |
