Does the bible denounce homosexuality?

The word homosexuality was added to European bible in 1946

The bible was translated into English and when studying, it is important to understand the ancient languages. According to the various internet sites the word homosexuality was added to a Protestant bible in 1946. The English bibles are a translation of ancient text from of the continents of Africa and Asia.  

Fact events of the bible take place in Africa and Asia, the culture of the people who translated the original text into the Protestant bibles did not understand the ways of the people of Africa or Asia they identify these cultures as pagan, but the definition of this word pagan is European as is the word homosexuality and neither word is included in the first bibles.

SODOM AND GOMORRAH - INCEST& RAPE

Genesis 19:1-28

1) Sodom & Gomorrah were destroyed but there was no same sex activity. The only act of sex mentioned in this story is rape and incest. Lot was raped by his daughters. we don't know if this was their stepfather or natural father. The focus of the story is not homosexuality it is incest, rape and the menstrual cycle.  These girls knew they were going to conceive. 

We know this act was a sin (against natural law) because they raped their father while he was intoxicated.  If Lot had been sober this rape would not have happened. Using this text to denounce consensual same sex relations (homosexuality) is an error and a tradition that needs to end. 

Sodom, Gomorrah and the cities of the plain were destroyed but the scriptures say Sodom was destroyed because of greed and selfishness. 

Ezekiel 16: 49 - 50 

Ezekiel 16:49-50 KJV - Behold, this was the iniquity of thy - Bible Gateway

Ezekiel 16:49-50 states the reason Sodom were destroyed was because of Greek and selfishness. Gomorrah and the cities of the plain were also destroyed. Search the scriptures to determine why and get more details about these cities.

SODOM AND GOMORRAH ARE NOT HEBREW WORDS

Israel colonized Canaan and many of the names of the cities remained. Genesis 14 shows the cities were named prior to the arrival of Abram/Abraham and Canaan was a child of Ham, therefore it the names are African in origin. The name Sodom and Gomorrah are names of ancient ancestors. If you look at the Greek or Hebrew, you will see these names are not rooted in sexual activity. These names include the symbols in the ancestors named Adam and Kam or Ham. The was no act of homosexuality in this story of Sodom and Gomorrah.

What is Natural and Nature

NATURE - NATURAL 

(Greek - PHUSIS)

Prior to reading this ask yourself, to whom in Rome did Paul write this letter and why? The ancient meaning of the words natural, nature is very important when studying this text.

25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

What is the meaning of nature? 

Bible hub uses the term Phusis (5449) - it means natural law or nature, inherent nature, origin, birth.

The Greek/Hebrew Bible concordance - defines nature as lineal descent, (this is referring to descendants, blood relatives and if he were referring to an orgy how would one know who the father of the children are?  There is no order in an orgy; another definition is disposition or constitution.

Disposition - the way in which something is arranged. Arrangement, placement.

Constitution- the state or other organization; something that is acknowledged to be governed or to govern. Both words are defined under the word natural in the Greek/Hebrew Bible Concordance.

   

In biblical times it was natural for the chief wife to give consent for her husband to marry or have sex with another woman. Genesis and the interaction between Sarah, Hagar and the wives and concubines of Jacob is evidence that there was order in sexual relations. Genesis also lets us know that the women were aware of the menstrual cycles. Having sex without order is against nature. I would assume orgies were unnatural for the native people, but it was common among the Romans. Was this passage about orgies or is the topic about adults indulging in same sex relations?

This text also seems to reinforce laws regarding hierarchy and equality something the Pharonic Egyptians practiced long before Rome and Greece came along. We want to consider that if there were orgies taking place in Rome the rich, poor and slaves could have engaged in these acts and conceiving children would upset the order of the society. 

                                 1 Corinthians 6:9 - Effeminate  

In the concordance is the word effeminate is defined as Malakos 

which means fine clothing or Catamite

Catamite - means pederest.

Pederest - is a lover of boys.

All of these definitions combined can be defined as having an order/rules/laws to relationships, but the scholars have presented this text as same sexual relations.        

Jude 7   the word homosexuality was not mentioned in the early bibles such as King James Version instead the word fornication was used. How did this word homosexuality get into the bible. 


Strange flesh - does this mean same sex, dead bodies or strangers?

1 Timothy 1:8-10 defile themselves with mankind.  Again the original King James version of the bible does not mention the word homosexuality.

The Latin version is Masulorum Concubitoribus and this means authoritative command, equal rights, violating boys & the lesser class. The lines up with the rest of the bible about
