Has 'Homosexual' Always Been in the Bible?

The word “arsenokoitai” shows up in two different verses in the bible, but it was not translated to indicate “homosexual” until
We got to rest down with Ed Oxford at his home in Long Beach, California and talk about this ask.
You possess been part of a research team that is seeking to understand how the decision was made to put the pos homosexual in the bible. Is that true?
Ed: Yes. It first showed up in the RSV translation. So before figuring out why they decided to use that word in the RSV translation (which is outlined in my upcoming novel with Kathy Baldock, Forging a Sacred Weapon: How the Bible Became Anti-Gay) I wanted to spot how other cultures and translations treated the similar verses when they were translated during the Reformation years ago. So I started collecting old Bibles in French, German, Irish, Gaelic, Czechoslovakian, Polish… you name it. Now I’ve got most European major languages that I’ve unhurried over time. Anyway, I had a German friend appear back to town and I asked if he could help me with some passages in
A: ***Note: Years ago, the very first scrutinize I answered on this site was on the KJV only debate. Therefore, it seems fitting to once again deal with a question on the KJV Bible to commemorate the th question answered. I thank the Lord for getting me to this point, and for His blessings on the site.
Somehow, in all my years of being a Christian, I have never heard the charge that King James was a homosexual until the other day. A man (on Facebook&#;) was saying (in short) that since King James was a homosexual, and he commissioned a Bible that is still used today, homosexuality must be acceptable to God. I HAD to find out more about this!
So, was King James a homosexual? There are websites and articles which illustrate evidence that he was, and also that he wasn&#;t. The number of websites/articles which show evidence that he was a homosexual far outnumber those which offer proof that he wasn&#;t. Of course, just because there are more saying that he was means nothing. What&#;s crucial is if the evidence that they show is credible. And the acknowledge, to me at least, is yes.
While the evidence pointing to King James being a homosexual is pretty plentiful, we mu
The Bible on Homosexual Behavior
One way to argue against these passages is to make what I name the “shellfish objection.” Keith Sharpe puts it this way: “Until Christian fundamentalists boycott shellfish restaurants, block wearing poly-cotton T-shirts, and stone to death their wayward offspring, there is no obligation to hear to their diatribes about homosexuality being a sin” (The Gay Gospels, 21).
In other words, if we can disregard rules love the ban on eating shellfish in Leviticus , then we should be allowed to disobey other prohibitions from the Ancient Testament. But this argument confuses the Old Testament’s temporary ceremonial laws with its permanent moral laws.
Here’s an analogy to support understand this distinction.
I retain two rules my mom gave me when I was young: hold her hand when I cross the street and don’t drink what’s under the sink. Today, I contain to follow only the latter rule, since the former is no longer needed to protect me. In fact, it would now do me more harm than good.
