Any Hebrew and Greek translaters out there who can clear up scripture?

[MeCajunboy]

Threre is much controversery out there in particular on other forums that I'm having to defend God's Word in particular I speaking AGAIN on the question of Homosexuality! While I'm very comfortable with my accessment of the many scriptures and versus found in the Bible on "the Sin of homosexuality" and " immoral sex," it would be to our advantage to be able to discuss our defense of "The Word on Homosexuality," intelligently and emphatically in God's defense. For me, there is no question that this sin must be reconciled and repented with God, and there leaves very little question , after reading and discerning the many other versus, that support God Command. Unfortunately, I'm not very well versed in Hebrew and Greek translations and several entheusiasts have confronted me and challanged me in this area. One gentleman, uses the term that the translation of the English word for "feminine" is not clear and cannot be translated to English correctly, and attempts to confuse all the other versus because of terms such as this.

I was wondering, as I know we have a few well versed translators here, if anyone would be kind enough to research a few of these more direct versus for us and give better clarification on some so that we might have better information when we go out to defend the Word of God. We all know that there is great concern for the supposed 9% or greater factor or souls, who feel entrapped in this unwholesome lifestyle. And many will not even consider making efforts to rectify or "make right" their ways to find God. Many are simply accepting this as their fate and I have great concern that those who believe that they KNOW GOD, and God ACCEPTS them as they are, are living a falacy because of this.

I thank you all for past efforts in of clarification, but it is apparent that satan is gaining a stronghold on our people and especially in this and these types of areas and we must never give up! Satan can and should be defeated. And God will never lose........no matter what the outcome is! Though I'm not sure what the outome will be, I do trust God and HIS WORD and that HE will have the final say in all matter of HIS Law!

Are there some specific verses you have in mind for study?

[Phil.2:12]

If homosexuality is a "normal" lifestyle that one does not chose, but a lifestyle that is thrust on one by nature, then why did God destroy Sodom and Gomorrah? After all, they were just living out their "normal" lifestyle when they wanted sexual contact with the two angels who appeared in the form of men. Two strangers, men, on Lot's front porch and nearly the whole town of Sodom shows up wanting to ravish these two strange men. But, hey, it is not a lifestyle the men of the town chose, it was what nature gave them. And God destroyed this town because of their wickedness, which was excused under the guise that their lifestyle was "normal" for them.

Have you tried looking at http://www.blueletterbible.org for the verses about this? Then click on the box with the "c" and you get the Hebrew or Greek word and the meaning. It really is quite plain what God thinks of this lifystyle. Both the Old and New Testament teach against it.

now lwts see if I can help. I believe homosexuality actually means ' Lovers of their own flesh' I will look it up now

Okay here we go. Jude 7

• Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner,
  
• giving themselves over to fornication~~~Ekporneuo greek for utterly unchaste excessive indulgence
  
• and going after strange~~~heteros greek meaning another, not one of the same nature, form, class or kind
  
• flesh~~ greek word is sarx means body as opposed to spirit or soul. a particular parts of men or woman. (breasts) passionatelyare set forth for an example, suffering the vegeance of eternal fire.
  

Now if that doesn't help I do not know what will. If there is a particular scripture let me know. Remeber Jesus loves the sinner but not what he or she may be doing.

Some of the guys looking for female verse male will find sweet smelling as a word to experess feminimity. Lets face it The guys stunk back then....Lol
