Leviticus 18.22 and 20.13.

Leviticus 18.22 and 20.13 say a man lying with another man as with a woman is an abomination.  Truluck noted there is no hint of homosexuality or sexuality implied in these verses.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Let us see,

Authorized Version

Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.

American Standard Version

Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.

The Bible in Basic English

You may not have sex relations with men, as you do with women: it is a disgusting thing.

The Darby Bible

And thou shalt not lie with mankind as one lieth with a woman: it is an abomination.

The Webster Bible

Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it [is] abomination.

Young's Literal Translation

'And with a male thou dost not lie as one lieth with a woman; abomination it [is].

World English Bible

"'You shall not lie with a man, as with a woman. That is detestible.

If after the use of The Hebrew Lexicon, Truluck fails to see how a man laying with the a batach -baw-takh' is sexual.

It is true then that he will not see that indeed the verse was talking about Homosexuality.

With Love

This is why we no longer have any prominent theologians comming from Europe. They deny the Bible and even deny the faith. Gone are the days of brilliant philosophers such as C.S. Lewis, present are the days of unsound doctrine that has no logical or linguistic backing.

In Corinthians you are looking at the wrong word. We must look to the Greek word malakos which is translated into sodomite or homosexual or pedophile. All three can translate into this word, as the word is used in Corinthians.

The interpretation of 1 Timothy is likewise seen as false. The reason it is interpreted as Homosexuality is because extra-biblical sources at the time use the same word to bring about the same connotation.

That such specious stupidity could come out of ANY university in the Western world, is just another good reason why I--as an academic--am heartbroken for the state of Western academics.

What drivel!

God clearly defines marriage as one man and one woman for life.

Really? where?

Any sexual contact outside of one man and one woman who are in a covenant marriage relationship with each other and God is strictly forbidden.

No it isn't. Polygamy was never forbidden. The idea that sex outside of marriage is unlawful could have come from the following mistranslation:

And if a man entice a virgin [KJV=maid] that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife.

If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.

Exodus 22:16-17

Genesis 2

24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

God clearly defines marriage as one man and one woman for life.

Really? where?

Genesis 2:23-24

And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. [24] Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

AND

Matthew 19:5-6

And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? [6] Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

Any sexual contact outside of one man and one woman who are in a covenant marriage relationship with each other and God is strictly forbidden.

No it isn't. Polygamy was never forbidden.

Polygamy was never God's intended plan. He did not forbid it, but He warned against it. Polygamy in Scripture never produced any good fruit. But that is really beside the point.

The idea that sex outside of marriage is unlawful could have come from the following mistranslation:

And if a man entice a virgin [KJV=maid] that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife.

If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.

Exodus 22:16-17

Mistranslation? So what is your manuscript evidence to support that allegation? How do you know this was a mistranslation?

The word translated as wife is eshah, which more accurately means female.

Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that [are] not clean by two, the male and his female[eshah].

Genesis 2:24

Polygamy was never forbidden.

Polygamy was never God's intended plan.  He did not forbid it, but He warned against it.

Reference please.

Polygamy in Scripture never produced any good fruit.

What about Jacob then?

But that is really beside the point.

Yes, it isn't about homosexuality. But it would seem that the religious prohibition of unorthodox sexuality is a reccuring theme. Control by guilt comes to mind.

And if a man entice a virgin [KJV=maid] that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife.

Because the KJV rendering of b'thulaw as maid instead of virgin is incorrect. Almah could be correctly translated as maid, but not b'thulaw

Ishah can mean woman or it can mean wife depending on the context. When it says wife it means wife in Genesis 2. The context distinguishes between woman and wife in that chapter. God's pattern for marriage is ONE man and ONE woman who marry, and stay married until they die.

The same is when using the word gune' in greek for wife in Matt 19:5-6. Jesus is quoting from that passage in Genesis. The reference means wife or married woman as it used in both of these OT and NT references.

Polygamy was never God's intended plan.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
