The Bible Says Homosexuals Live an Acceptable Lifestyle

"I do not deny the Bible's credibility but rather the interpretation. The book has been interpreted to justify slavery, suffrage and the Holocaust. To not try to correctly interpret the Bible is simply irresponsible." --- "Interpretation? I read the Bible literally...I agree, people should try to correctly interprate scripture." + Personally, I do not believe that any person can read the Bible literally. It's all up for interpretation and even those interpretations can be incorrect. --- "you can discount...only certain passages." + I do not believe this. But if you do then why are the few homosexual related scriptures counted? --- Homosexuality is NOT INCLUDED IN THIS. Just as sins like adultry are not included in this. Things like playing with pig skin are not addressed in the New Testament. Things like homosexuality and adultry are. Matters such as these are addressed very seriously. + I've explained that the 6 supposedly gay related Bible scriptures do not condemn homosexuality. --- Every law stated in those verses is now no longer in effect, due to theblood of Christ (symbolized by baptism). + The laws included in your code are homosexuality supposedly but the others are excluded. If the others are discounted, then so is homosexuality. "That same code INTENDED FOR ISRAESLI PRIESTS is used to condemn homosexuality." Intended for Israeli Priests? Priests only you mean? I don't think so. What about the verse you quoted where it says a womans hand must be cut off if she touches the genitals of another man? Last I checked, women could not be priests. + This is in Deuteronomy. You're spinning the Bible for your benefit. That's morally repugnant. --- "Sodomite---a person who practices sodomy." Lets go to sodomy then... + This is where you're interpreting the Bible literally. The word sodomite when this was written involved a person who lived in the city of Sodom. The word Sodomite and Sodomy comes from the ancient city because of the evolution of the English. I can see how you got that confused, however. The Sodomites were not destroyed because they were homosexual. + Also, the scripture 1 Corinthians 6:9 uses the Greek word "arsenokoitai", which no person today understands. It has been translated into Sodomite, which modernly would mean someone who engages in sodomy. http://www.soulforce.org... --- Now that we have gone into graphic detail, I think you see my point. When God condemns sodomy, He comdemns all of the above. + God does not condemn sodomy in Corinthians 6:9. That is a skewed translation. --- He would say "sodomy with animals." + ...Because the Bible is so clear... --- Now that we have an understanding of what sodomy is, I think we can agree that God was refering to men seeking sex with men. + It was a bad translation. Please look at my source above. --- I don't think you can speak condecendingly of the translation "homosexual" in the Bible. After all, neither you or I are scholars in hebrew or greek, so neither of us can say one way or the other. + Here is a Hebrew translator: http://www.dictionary.co.il... A Greek translator: http://www.kypros.org... The Bible is full of mistranslations. The Bible translators are fallible. --- My Bible was published in 1990 and says homosexual...not sure what you getting at. + The NIV version says homosexual. The newer the translation the more skewed it will be. King James Version. Corinthians 6:9: Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, + I read your source list and they are all not credible. Richard Isay is the main source for the article. He says that he started to have heterosexual desires after being homosexual. He could very well be bisexual or lying. He has no scientific proof or basis whatsoever. The next source wrote about "The AIDS Epidemic". Completely irrelevant. The statements being made are describing bisexuality is far more popular than homosexuality. Your source is a biased source. Mine is scientific. And thousands other back it up. The vast majority of homosexuality reversal cases are meer psychologicasl pressure cases. People are being forced back into the closet. "Homosexuality IS irreversible... I have NEVER seen a case of actual homosexuality reversal. And neither have you." --- That was proven wrong. Science changes, scripture does not. + Science is proven. Theory changes. Scripture's interpretation changes. Not the text. --- Science is not reliable. + What better source can I give you? Please finish the debate here. There is a word limit for a reason. So judging will be reasonable. ---------------You have dropped all of your scriptures except Corinthians 6:9. You realized that the other 5 scriptures are not condemning homosexuality. You are hanging on to Corinthians for dear life. But Corinthians 6:9 was a translation error. There is no word for homosexual in Greek or Hebrew. Here is a Hebrew translator: http://www.dictionary.co.il... and a Greek translator: http://www.kypros.org... And the word Sodomite meant a person who lived in the city of Sodom, which was destroyed for arrogance in the Bible times. English evolution adopted the city to mean sodomy and its practicers. Also, the word Sodomite was not accurately translated. It uses the Greek word "arsenokoitai", which no person today understands. Corinthians 6:9 was a mistranslation, which is not at all uncommon. Thank you for reading. Even if I don't win I hope that I've educated some people about the truth on the Bible's stance on homosexuality.
