The Bible condemns homosexuality.

I was shotgunning the argumentation, but it works all the same. GenesisMy opponent completely drops the Androgyne argument, please hold it against my opponent as it is a sense of approval of homosexuality as it shows that one must go out and find their better half, not man and wife. RuthMy opponent did not refute the argument here what-so-ever, but simply resorted to a simple refusing to acknowledge my argument. This argument will continue to stand until it is properly refuted by my opponent as shown in the pyramid bellow. For the sake of arguing I will add on to this argument here to continue as to why this is important. “May the Lord reward your work, and your wages be full from the Lord, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to seek refuge” Ruth 2:12Here we can see in this statement by Boaz when speaking on the relationship between Naomi and Ruth that he outright approves it and shows that he should be rewarded by God. In the last round I have shown that the words spoken between the two mimic and are modern day wedding vows alluring to that of an homosexual relationship.Due to the condition of the debate I win on that stance alone, but for the sake of the debate I shall continue.Samuel and David Here I will prove that David loved Jonathan so much to the point to where if Jonathan then it would be the greatest love story in the Bible according to Theologians. “When David had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was bound to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. Saul took him that day and would not let him return to his father’s house. Then Jonathan made a covenant with David, because he loved him as his own soul. Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that he was wearing, and gave it to David, and his armor, and even his sword and his bow and his belt.” (1 Samuel 18:1-4)Here we can see that Jonathan loved David more than his own soul. This is something that is extremely important especially since many Christians beleive that the soul is the most important thing that a person owns that is what goes to Heaven or Hell. So the fact that he loved David as much as his own Soul is key here to so an important relationship between the two with this amount of love. “David rose from beside the stone heap and prostrated himself with his face to the ground. He bowed three times and they kissed each other and wept with each other; David wept the more. Then Jonathan said to David, ‘Go in peace, since both of us have sworn in the name of the Lord, saying, “The Lord shall be between me and you, and between my descendants and your descendants, forever.” ’ He got up and left; and Jonathan went into the city.” (1 Samuel 20:41-42)Here we can see just how intament the relationship got between these two men. Here they kiss and they indeed knew that this would be the last time that they would see eachother as Jonathan would later die in combat. The key part here is that they show that their decendents shall be together showing almost that of a gay marriage between the two."Saul and Jonathan, beloved and lovely! In life and in death they were not divided; they were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions. How the mighty have fallen in the midst of battle! Jonathan lies slain upon your high places. I am distressed for you my brother Jonathan; Greatly beloved were you to me; your love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women.” (2 Samuel 1:23, 26-27)Here we can continue the furthering of the homosexual relationship as it shows the love between the two men surpassed that then a man and a women. Proving that of a homosexual relation.This is yet another approved example of homosexuality in the Bible any attempt to argue otherwise would be that of arguing that God looked down upon David which was false since God had blessed him and with God being omnipotent we can see that God would've known about the homosexual relationship and would not have gifted David as much as he has.Romans Why I'm glad you raised the question on this verse as this refers to a different sexual interaction that ISN"T homosexuality. It is actually that of an orgy. [1] Let's look at key sections of the passage for this. "For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence [sic] of their error which was meet."If we look at the underlined sections we can see that the sections here point to that of an orgy by showing them leaving their spouses to go do something unnatural for another. Burned in their lust is a key phrase and this is to further my point here to show that this refers to the orgy. [1]We can see that this was taken out of context by my opponent. Here we can see that this is a speach that Paul is reading to condemn a lifestyle of idoltry and that is when the Jews started to chant "Yes, yes, they are guilty." Then Paul sprung on them Romans 2:1, "You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things." Thus we have Romans 3:23, " for all have sinnedand fall short of the glory of God." Meaning that if what Pro is saying is true, then all of us are homosexuals and are thus to burn in hell as such. Though we know that isn't the case.Corithians My opponent has misinterperated the Bible, again let's turn to the Hebrew language to retranslate to what it really says. The word used is malakoi which translates to soft. Meaning that Paul was saying that those who are soft will not make it into heaven. We all know that he wasn't talking about the Philsbury Dough boy, so what was he talking about. The Greeks Generally used the term to mean lazy, degenerate, or lacking courage. [2] TimothyHere's a fun verse based on Semantics. You must ask yourself here what is a Sodomite? Why it's somone who preforms Sodomy. Now what is Sodomy? Why it's simply the acts of oral or annal sex. Now I don't know about you, but people both straight and homosexual preform these acts. We can see here that due to the exspansiveness of this term that this argument must be thrown out since it is irrelevant to this debate.JudeHere's an argument that I escentially refuted when I tackled the Sodom and Gomorrah argument in my last round which my opponent casted the argument asside. Thus he actually drops this argument in the process.Sources1. ( "The Deliverance of God." by Douglas Campbell) 2. ( Dale B.
