So is homosexuality a sin?
Here are the 7 verses that people usually use against gays and lesbians,
I've typed out what is said in the video for those who are lazy to watch, however,
please watch the end where she mentioned Jesus confronting with the Roman stentorian.
Adam and Eve (Genesis 2)
"It's not Adam and Steve, it's Adam and Eve"
(is what you'll usually hear when people are opposing gay rights)
God created Eve FOR Adam,
he DIDN'T SAY ALL MEN SHOULD HAVE A WOMAN.
Sodem and Gomorrah (Genesis 19)
Homosexual acts that caused the city to destroy
were acts of violence and rape,
not same-sex relationships
Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman, it's detestable (/an abomination) (Leviticus 18:22)
The original word for the words "detestable and abomination" which were translated
originally meant "do not use sex in temple cul-tic practices, THAT is an abomination to God"
Back then, people were going to the temple and having sex with temple prostitutes,
whether it be male dressed as female or male dressed as male.
And not same sex relationships.
No Israelite man or woman is to become a shrine prostitute (Deuteronomy 23:17)
Understand who it is referring to, and based on the original language,
it is about idolatrous sex in temple worship.
For this caused God to gave them up into vile affections:
for even their women did not change the natural use into that which is against nature:
and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another
(Romans: 1:26-27)
God is talking to people that are idolater.
"Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders not thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers will inherit the kingdom of God"
(1 Corinthians 6:9-10)
Until around 1950's, all the words "the effeminate, the soft, the perverts, the male prostitutes" somehow in the 50's all became homosexual. So if you read the bible in the 1900's, it didn't use "homosexual"
"The law is for people who are sexually immoral, or who practice homosexuality , or are slave traders, liars, promise breakers, or who do anything else that contradicts the wholesome teaching that comes from the glorious Good News entrusted to me by our Blessed God" (Timothy 1:10-11)
There are two words in the original language that were translated as "homosexual",
the actual meaning is effeminate or soft people.
So did Jesus ever talk about homosexuality?
Jesus was confronted with same sex relationships in the bible when the Roman stentorian came and said to Jesus "will you heal my pias (male sex servant, who he was having a relationship with) for me?"
Jesus DID NOT tell them to go home and clean up the sexual relationships and when they come back and they're straight, he'll deal with them.
Instead, Jesus told him that he IS healed and he can go home.
He did not deny their relationship.
