Why does the God of the Bible condemn homosexual acts?

Why can’t some Christians?

Today we have Divorce courts, protections, child custody, child and spousal support.

In Romans chapter 1, verses 26–27 are cherry-picked out of the context which starts in verse 18. The context is Idolatry.

Do you remember one day, you put a deep smile on someone's face and made them very happy?

Scholars and translators know this. The Greek translation of Arsenokoitace is uncertain. The word was coined by Paul (probably) or a contemporary of his. Any person who says they know exactly what Paul meant is lying (seriously).

Where?

There were Male Shrine Prostitutes in the OT book of Kings, that practice was old in Paul’s time. Many dismiss the idea based what seem to be personal or sociological reasons, not archaeological ones.

What makes outside showers appealing? Why are they not commonly seen?

Many believe Paul is writing about what he sees, temples that have male and female prostitutes engaged in ritual activities.

Him and I are good and that’s all I need.

Didn’t they read Galatians? Romans? James and his “Law of Liberty.” The entire New Testament? You can even find Grace in the Old Testament, some of the Rabbis have.

Mt 19 is about Divorce. Jesus’ reference to Celibacy is that it is a gift from God and that not everyone can receive it.

(So please, before you enforce celibacy on another, castrate yourself … or leave other people alone?)

The truth is, the Old Testament and New Testaments say next to nothing and sexual orientation is a relatively new concept.

Sodom and Gomorrah. Two cities completely filled with Gay men, young and old. Cities who recently had gone to war, who Abraham had rescued, who Lot went back to live among, who tried to rape two angels that they mistook for men … I guess.

These were common in that culture in Athens, Corinth, Ephesus, Rome, and Crete, all places Paul went. They existed centuries after Paul.

Last, Leviticus. Two almost identical verses. One sex act (If translated correctly. The Hebrew words are sparse. People debate everything).

Nemo harum distinctio cupiditate soluta nesciunt beatae harum.

No one knows.

Since Paul is who most homophobes run to in order to support their case, I went to him first, there really isn’t much left.

Answer to: Why does the God of the Bible condemn homosexual acts?

Inhospitable, loathsome, yet leave it to homophobia to twist it and miss it (the verse they use in Jude fails the test because of this).

Men interpret Scriptures certain ways, but Jesus said we make void the Word by our tradition. Groupthink is tradition.

Those women were shunned, shamed, casted out and abandoned. The man had all the power and Jesus dared to challenge that. Even His disciples were astounded.

Christ bore that, so, hard pass, thanks.

I am not a Jewish man. I’m am not under any part of the Law for my righteousness. To place myself under the Law for my righteous standing with God would be to put myself under the curse of the Law listed in Dt 28.

What? It’s okay for David to be both a man after God’s own heart and a Bloody Bipolar Adulterer who even desecrated what was holy, as long as he wasn’t Bisexual, right? Lol
