[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Leviticus 18:22 is pretty explicit on this point. [/quote]
You  missed the point of OP's post.  What does that passage in the original Hebrew text?[/quote]

From a linguistic standpoint, Leviticus 18:22 is also in question as to the current translation.  From a scholar who studied the language at the time including the usage of similar words in the Hebrew version of the Bible, it seems that Leviticus 18:22 is a condemnation of incestuous male intercourse, rather than homosexual intercourse.

Here is an article about that:

PP here.. thank you. This is what that other PP needs to understand.

Scholars today understand a lot more about the cultural context and original Hebrew and Greek texts than they did back in the 17th century when King James had his scholars translate the Bible to their English.

I'm a Christian, and my understanding of the Bible has also evolved after 40+ years of attending church and reading the Bible.[/quote]
