同性恋在圣经

圣经支持同性恋行为,并且我们提供在关系故事被举例证明丹尼尔和太监的王子的之间的一个这样例子。

诗歌是:

“Vayiten haElohim和Daniyel leKHesed u’ leraKHamim lifnei sar hasarisim” (丹尼尔· 1:9)

[即, “现在上帝带领了丹尼尔进入厚待和嫩爱以太监的王子” (KJV)。]

西伯来词,描述丹尼尔和太监的王子的之间关系,是 “KHesed” 并且 “RaHamim”.

这些的确意味“善良,仁慈,从一而终”。 词 “RaHamim”然而,从Semitic根R-H-M获得,提到子宫。1 KJV的翻译 “RaHamim” 因此作为“嫩爱”将需要和indespensible元素 物理 爱或者爱通过体接触被体现。

现在,神色在我们的二个字符: 太监的当然王子是太监。 丹尼尔,根据犹太评论员的观点,是 一个太监。

“为希伯来的孩子说丹尼尔和他的三个伴侣Hananiah、Azariah和Mishael是eunuchized在巴比伦和因而被履行了什么艾赛尔对Hezekiah说: “他们从您的种子在巴比伦” [艾赛尔· 39:7] "" >2的国王的房子里将采取并且做他们太监 因此一次事理在介入物理爱的他们之间将正确地被命名作为一次同性恋事理(即,在太监和另一个太监之间)。

当然没有“扭转”完成对诗歌的感觉或材料,提出,当他们站立。 一些也许反对有所有性联络太监是相当不可能的。 我希望通过指出一件更加基本的事情突出这个论据: 睾丸或外部阴部的剥夺在人或男孩不导致同样的性的变动对妇女或女孩。 但是因此“嫩爱”在丹尼尔和太监的王子之间将依然是一次同性恋事理。

第二,期限“太监”和“宫刑”不变地讲了话 男性 主题; 正确对应的期限为女性“spaying”。

Thirdly, why should one entertain the possibility that the eunuch (as in Daniel’s “prince of the eunuchs”), would have to be the active sexual partner, when the common sense assigns to him the passive role?

Fourthly, it is also abundantly clear that this is not the only homosexual affair from the Bible. It is also believed that Jonathon and David too (according to the Biblical account) were more than just the “closest of friends”; they were passionate homosexual lovers.3

Hence from this brief exposition, it is inconceivable that the “word of God” would condone such a horrible and unnatural sexual act, as the Bible obviously does.

  2. The statement, that Daniel was a eunuch, is quoted by Origen with approbation in his “Commentary to Matthew”, Book xv, section 5:

    “For the children of the Hebrews say that Daniel and his three companions Hananiah, Azariah, and Mishael were eunuchized in Babylon and thus was fulfilled what Isaiah said to Hezekiah: "They will take from your seed and make of them eunuchs in the house of the king of Babylon” [Isaiah 39:7]” [back]

    Anyway gay marriages are getting approved and legalized all over Europe and USA, so whats new ?

  2. Matthew said on 17 December 2006:

    You all are wrong if you think the Holy Bible promotes homosexuality. Have you never read Romans ch.1?
    One of the arts of Biblical interpretation is not to take a passage out by itself but must be read in the context in which “it is intended” No scripture contradicts any other scripture in the Holy Bible.

    According to the article, “it is inconceivable that the ?word of God? would condone such a horrible and unnatural sexual act, as the Bible obviously does.”

    I believe you are correct about the Bible. Through a series of politically motivated mistranslations, scripture condemning acts such as child molestation have been modified to pertain to homosexuality. Once these mistranslations have been culled, the New Testament seems to be about love, tolerance, forgiveness, and nonjudgment. Although I am not a Christian, I respect this philosophy and wish that you Muslims shared it. After all, “horrible and unnatural” are harsh words of judgment — YOUR judgment, not God’s. As an agnostic and as a lesbian woman, I assure you I could find a few harsh and intolerant things to say about what you represent, but I won’t. That would not be in the spirit of peace and love.

    May you find tolerance in your hearts towards others, and may your god have mercy on you!

    if you’re wondering if there are Biblical passages which condemn homosexuals and homosexual acts, the answer is NO.

    Most people, even priests and scholars, are unaware that the passages about homosexuality have been either misinterpreted or misunderstood.

    The story of Sodom and Gomorrah? That’s a warning against rape and inhospitality. The reason for Sodom’s destruction is made clear in Ezekiel 16:48-50. According to Ezekiel, the sins of Sodom were pride, laziness, being inhospitable, neglecting the needs of the poor, greed, and idolatry (the worshipping of idols). Nothing about homosexuality is mentioned.

    Leviticus? Those passages were part of the Holiness Code which has been done away with and is no longer binding to modern-day Christians.

    1 Corinthians? Mistranslation - the word malakee in this passage is used elsewhere in the Bible to mean someone who lacks discipline or one who is morally weak, and never is it used in reference to sexuality or gender.

    1 Timothy? Also a mistranslation. 1 Timothy was an admonishment against male prostitution, not committed, loving same sex relationships.

    Romans? In the passage the Greek words physin and paraphysin have been translated to mean natural and unnatural respectively. Contrary to popular belief, the word paraphysin does not mean “to go against the laws of nature”, but rather implies action which is uncharacteristic for that particular person. An example of the word paraphysin is used in Romans 11:24, where God acts in an uncharacteristic (paraphysin) way to accept the Gentiles. When the scripture is understood correctly, it seems to imply that it would be unnatural for a homosexual to live as a heterosexual and vice versa.

    I can’t believe you all are trying to justify what is clearly stated as SIN in the Bible. First of all, did the Bible not say that God made marriage for man and woman? Second, as Leviticus 18:22 states, “Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.” If God forbid marriage between two of the same sexes and forbids premarital sex, then how would it be possible for homosexual acts to be ok?

    1 Corinthians 6:9 states, “Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders.” Homosexuality isn’t a greater sin than any other sin, but it is still sin. The act of lust in homosexuality is indeed sin because after all, it is still lust and adultery.

    I sympathize with gays because of the discrimination and prejudice that they must face. Any sinner that condemns and criticizes you for being a homosexual is a HYPOCRITE.

    Wow, shadowoffears, if the all those Books are misinterpreted, then you might as well throw the entire Bible away. Those passages are translated directly from the Hebrew and Greek passages. I don’t see how you could have any proof that the translations and interpretations could be that erroneous. You didn’t even state any proof or evidence to support your claims. You’ve been brainwashed by modern day catholicism.
