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: I do see one little problem with this though. If homosexual sex is all these men were after, why did they not do so among themselves since there are obviously many of them? The only answer I see, is that it'd be due to lust, and this kind of uncontrolled lust would in itself make the act wrong. Thus making it impossible to tell if the homosexual nature of it had any bearing. Do you really think it'd have been ok if they did choose to rape Lot's daughters instead? I don't see Gen 19 as proof either for or against homosexuality. From what I can tell, it really doesn't say. |
