To anyone reading this who is anti-gay - stop blaming the bible for your homophobic hate

12. It's been awhile but is that the greek word that some scholars claim is about homosexuality

even though technically the word did not exist back then.

I took these classes ages ago back in college (I loved the professor - I got A's in all his classes) and I remember discussing the subject of homosexuality in the bible. From what I remember there was no word in ancient greek that meant homosexuality but instead there were 2-3 words that somehow got reinterpretted version and version of the bible to ultimately be treated that way.

The other understand was what the purpose was of the various books and if we call ourselves Christians then we should be going by the words of Jesus. The Old Testament was defined as the history of how the faith use to be before Jesus, the Gospel was the words of Jesus (or the closest they could actually get to them) and the rest of the new testament was how the faith was spread throughout the land along with a bit of end time prophesies.

So the basic premise to me is this - if we are to believe that homosexuality is an 'abomination' based on centuries and centuries of reinterpretation of an ancient document in greek then pretty much we are all fucked because there are hundreds of other laws in Leviticus (and similiar books) that pretty much would make our life a living hell if we tried to follow all of them. Or you could follow with the Christian basis that Jesus was to redefine the laws and modernize what God was all about which in that case all of those laws are debunked.
