What The Bible Says About Homosexuality. by Neymar1095(m): 8:35am On Jul 10, 2019 |
At the heart of the claim that the Bible is clear "that homosexuality is forbidden by God" is poor biblical scholarship and a cultural bias read into the Bible. The Bible says nothing about "homosexuality" as an innate dimension of personality. Sexual orientation was not understood in biblical times. There are references in the Bible to same-gender sexual behavior, and all of them are undeniably negative. But what is condemned in these passages is the violence, idolatry and exploitation related to the behavior, not the same-gender nature of the behavior. There are references in the Bible to different-gender sexual behavior that are just as condemning for the same reasons. But no one claims that the condemnation is because the behavior was between a man and a woman. There was no word in Hebrew, Aramaic or Greek for "homosexual" or "homosexuality." These words were invented near the end of the 19th century when psychoanalysts began to discover and understand sexuality as an essential part of the human personality in all of its diversity. Consequently, it cannot be claimed that the Bible says anything at all about it. The writers of the Bible had neither the understanding of it nor the language for it. There is only one reference to sexual behavior between women, and that is in Romans 1:26. The context of this reference has to do with Gentiles rejecting the true God to pursue false gods; i.e., idolatry. And, the sexual behavior described is orgiastic, not that of a loving, mutual, caring, committed relationship. What is condemned is the worship of false gods. Sexuality is a wonderful gift from God. It is more than genital behavior. It's the way we embody and express ourselves in the world. But we cannot love another person intimately without embodying that love, without using our bodies to love. And that does involve genital behavior. Sexual love is for the purpose of giving and receiving pleasure with our most intimate partner. It is a means of deepening and strengthening the intimate union that exists. This can only be healthy and good if our behavior is consistent with who we are and with whom we love, and when we are true to our own sexuality and orientation. 2 Likes 1 Share |

OkCornel:OkCornel, marriage has nothing whatsoever to do with gender, because you seem to believe that unless a union is between a man and woman alone, any other union cant be called "marriage" and you also seem to be of the opinion, that any other union is invalid, and inferior to union or marriage between a man and woman Dont get caught up with the ceremony, the sacrament OkCornel, because the marriage between a man and a woman is a shadow of a real thing.The marriage between a man and a woman is a metaphor. Marriage, in the Bible, the marriage between a man and a woman actually, is used as a metaphor for the union of the soul with God, which is between two and so, full stop, the binary, obviously. I know you didnt know this, but marriage, really and trutfully, is a spiritual thing, and fundamentally, it is about commitment. It has to do with being committed to someone. Now we'll both agree and accept that God created Adam and Eve and all that, but God clearly created our friend Steve too, didnt He? Then, so there we have it, there are people who do not fit in that Adam and Eve mode, who happen to have same sex attraction and so are just gay. Now just because they can't have a heterosexual relationship with a woman that will lead to a man and woman marriage, doesnt mean they cant partake or enjoy the vision God has of marriage. A man and woman marriage, isnt a standard that is being imposed on everyone, as you are trying to imply OkCornel. Love has always been the reason for marriage or a union. It isn't about gender nor to do with procreation. The marriage between a man and woman, is an imitation, is a copy of a real thing in heaven. Marriage, as I've previously said, is a union between the soul and God. It is beyond sexuality or gender. OkCornel, look at the coming marriage between the church and Jesus, or look at the marriage between God and Israel. Aside the institution of marriage designed for man and woman, of course, there is a positive archetype for relationships, the kind of SSA too. There is evidence of it in scripture, people need to just say, that they arent aware of it because that is what they've learned from being made and led to believe nothing exists in the Bible like that. Life long committed relationship, one that is faithful, strictly monogamous, has love until death do part, is caring and kind, this is what we are talking of OkCornel. Can you fault something like that, hmm? The bigger picture is commitment and love OkCornel. Every time a choice must be made concerning marriage, it is a promise to choose to love, but you know what, the person that God has for you, will always come in the form and package that you expected. God is Good and ever Faithful. You know me OkCornel, I can go on and write a book, but I think this much is enough, so I wont go on 1 Like |

OkCornel:[img]https://s3/images/FirmGrip.gif[/img] You are more confused than a guy with no arms watching pôrn because I've explained this many times to you, that I am not going to give you scriptural example of same sex marriage, seeing that, you are not worthy enough to know that information, and at least the info is not going to come from me Besides, remember that I got my eye on you, well, it's me looking out for you. You dont expect me to give you a loaded gun, or do you now? Nah, I dont want to. You'll get hurt if I do, and I dont want that for you OkCornel, as it could be worse and more fatal than what you see happened in the gif above. Change the "scriptural example of same sex marriage" record bud. The needle is stuck! Badgering me with "can you show me one passage or verse to support ..." or "show me just the passage" cries will not work. I will not give you or post such information. That will be irresponsible of me and of course, it poses, a potential and certain dangerous accident waiting to happen, giving a loaded gun, to toy with, and that, without you yet unlearning your acquired bad habits 1 Like |

MuttleyLaff: After all this nonsense yarns...no single example of same sex marriage in the scriptures? You're an empty barrel...too much noise with no substance at all... The book of Leviticus outlaws homosexuality of all forms in the Land of Israel. In the book of Corinthians and Romans, Paul spoke against the effeminates and those that abuse themselves with mankind (i.e the active and passive participants in a homosexual relationship), and how they have abandoned the NATURAL USE OF A WOMAN TO DO THAT WHICH IS UNSEEMLY. But Muttley the empty barrel cannot even counter these with one example of homosexual marriage from the scriptures... Homosexual relationship/marriage is against the order of nature...
