Why does the God of the Bible condemn homosexual acts?

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).

Right?

Christ bore that, so, hard pass, thanks.

Why do I sweat so much after applying moisture or sun screen on my face? I have normal skin.

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.

Christ bringing up Genesis is not Him being exclusionary, it is Him reminding these lecherous men that their wives are bound to their hearts.

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.

Why won't Canada build their own fighter jet?

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.

No. Rape is violence, not sex. The story is about kidnapping into slavery and the abuse of strangers.

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

How should I go about convincing my mother that my foreign online boyfriend isn't out to get my holes or scam me?

Does He?

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

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.

How do I become a Buddhist, and can someone explain Buddhism to me?

No one knows.

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

Homophobia is a billion dollar business for Corporate Christianity. Isn’t it?

Have you ever met someone and something seemed so unusual about them but you couldn't put your finger on what it was?

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

If anything, Paul was writing about male prostitutes, not LGBT.

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

How do Democrat Party voters feel about the fact that Kamala Harris never received one primary vote to be the nominee in 2020 and certainly not in 2024?

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

Why can’t some Christians?

Why is it the Legalists always run to the Law?

How does prayer impact those in need? Is there evidence that God intervenes and improves situations based on our prayers, or is it a psychological belief?

Further Musings:

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

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.

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

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

If you embrace the fact that David “embraced” Jonathan and God was cool with it, you find that your concepts about what God “hates” get thrown out.

Try to break free from the shackles of it and you will find yourself outside the fold Pastor.

Where?

What's the most trivial thing that ever made you go to the doctor?

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

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

Why do people keep saying they have evidence and have presented it that proves you're wrong even though they have none and haven't presented anything? Furthermore, what do they think you're wrong about?

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).

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.
