yetAnotherUserWhich God says that homosexuality is a sin? And I’m asking about cases where God actually comes down (either directly or indirectly) and says “no, that’s a sin”, not about cases where some guy says “nah, that’s prolly a sin”. Asking because I’m curious about how homosexuality is depicted in religious texts.
The one from the Bible says it’s an abomination
I like this translation
You must not have sexual intercourse with a man as you would with a woman; it is a detestable practice.
it just sounds like a confused peasant
decipher_jeanneOK as long as man doesn’t fuck a man in the vagina it’s good. Also lesbian are also not forbidden.
froufoxInteresting to see what’s the original of the quote. I’ve seen one bibleist examined different Bible quotes and explained that in original (Greek) they’re not related to homosexuality, and was against rape or promiscuity. And his take was there is nothing against homosexuality in Bible
𝙲𝚑𝚊𝚒𝚛𝚖𝚊𝚗 𝙼𝚎𝚘𝚠IIRC the original was aimed at pederasty, which was still common in Greece at the time.
JonathanI don’t know much at all about the Bible, but is there a reason why in almost all the translations (and interpretations) it appears assumed that the reader is a man themselves? Like, what if a woman is reading? What does it mean then?
