DID YOU READ IT?


No kidding. Since when does effeminate mean homosexual?

Effeminate is only one of the words in that verse that means homosexual. "Abusers of themselves with makind" is the other
...You fail.

So. ********. Hard.

READ THE FIRST PAGE.

Hell, go to the first page, use CTRL+F to FIND your verse.

It is refuted.

I read the huge freaken wall of text. Stop using personal attacks, you look ignorant.

Not all translations are perfect, but the words still mean the same thing.

For the love of God, open up a ******** dictionary. I mean seriously. It's there for a reason. It sure as hell isn't there for you to piss on it and burn it, and claim your Bible is better.

Hence why you fail.

You absorbed nothing, and are instead spewing something ALREADY REFUTED.

WHO looks ignorant now?

In the bible times they didnt have an exact word for homosexual. That is one of the ways they described it.

You can believe what you believe.

Still you.
The King James Version of the Bible translates verse 9 and 10 as: "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God." (Emphasis ours)


This verse has been translated in many ways among the 25 English versions of the Bible that we have analyzed. The two activities of interest here have been variously translated as: effeminate. In the English language, this covers a wide range of male behavior such as being unmanly, lacking virility. One might think of the characters "John," the receptionist on NYPD Blue, or "Jack" on Will and Grace.
homosexuals, variously described as: "men who practice homosexuality," (ESV);
"those who participate in homosexuality," (Amplified);
"abusers of themselves with men," (KJV);
"practicing homosexuals," (NAB);
"homosexuals," (NASB, CSB, NKJ, The Great Book: The New Testament in Plain English);
"homosexual perversion," (NEB);
"homosexual offenders," (NIV);
"liers with mankind," (Rhiems); and
"homosexual perverts." (TEV)


Although "homosexual" is a very common translation, it is almost certain to be inaccurate: If Paul wanted to refer to homosexual behavior, he would have used the word "paiderasste." That was the standard Greek term at the time for sexual behavior between males.
The second term is "arsenokoitai" in Greek. The exact meaning of this word is lost. It seems to have been a term created by Paul for this verse. "Arsen" means "man" in Greek. So there is no way that "arsenokoitai" could refer to both male and female homosexuals. It seems that the translators gave in to the temptation to widen Paul's condemnation to include lesbians as well as gay males.

I also belive that the history channel mentioned it as meaning gay prostitutes that worked the temple, kinda like choirboy whores.

The world is a billion years old. 2-6.5 billion years I believe. Humanity has been around for a million years. Dinosaurs were the first organism living on the planet. We're now seeing it as okay because it took us at least 2,000 or 500 years to pull our heads out of our asses and question things and to do studies. :3


I believe that prokaryotes are the first organisms living on the planet.

If God was so almighty, he would translate his own book instead of asking fallible corrupt humans do it. :3
When did He ask? (Genuinely curious, not challenging.)

You use personal attacks, for no real reason. If it really takes that for you to think you got your point across, you should probably stop debating.

Even though I think the op is mistaken.

I may have to go, my nephew just got home and he wants me to read him a story. 3nodding
What I find amusing about Chemical_Love_95 is that she's been refuted by multiple people, yet she still is gun-hoe that she's right about everything o.o
