NASB | Leviticus 20:13 'If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltiness is upon them. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Leviticus 20:13 'If a man lies [intimately] with a male as if he were a woman, both men have committed a detestable (perverse, unnatural) act; they shall most certainly be put to death; their blood is on them. |
Subject: Homosexuality, sin or not? |
Bible Note: Nope. Romans 1:26-28 Problem here is taken in context it's obviously taking about it as a result, a “fall from grace” or such. They knew God and turned from him, and then “because of this...”. This does not fit with accounts of people learning they are gay. Especially Christian accounts of such. They sounds far more like they felt pushed from God because they were gay, not the other way around like Romans 1 seems to say. So I must conclude that it's talking about something else. (a form of idolatry maybe?) Corinthians 6:9 and 1 Timothy 1:10 Problem with these is that the “homosexual” here is a word that is only used in the bible twice; here in these two passages. It's exact meaning is not really known, and as such it has been translated in a number of ways. And it seems a bit cruel to accuse people of sin based on something so uncertain. |
