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. |
Bible Question: How can any 'modern' Christian justify the Leviticus 20:13. Those who preach the 'word of the lord' should realise how offensive and archaic such a statement is. Don't be fooled by religion - it is merely a way of controlling the masses and preventing creative, independent thought. |
Bible Answer: Greetings Leviticus, The Bible plainly says what it says. There are other places in Scripture that condemn homosexuality. If you are not willing to accept this statement in Leviticus and live according to it, since it is reaffirmed in the New Testament (Romans 1:27), then you do not glorify God and God's wrath is upon you (Romans 1:18-32).
