[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Too bad this thread went off the rails. It actually started as a good faith discussion [/quote] And as with most threads here, atheists simply cannot resist inserting themselves into the middle of the discussion and calling everyone [i]not[/i] an atheist a kook. They’re drawn to it like moths to porch light. It’s fetishistic. [/quote] +1 it’s obsessive [/quote] Are you kidding? Do you see the topic of this thread?[/quote] DP and the thread title is obvious--you're the one who missed it. Do you have an opinion on the "mistranslation" in the thread title, or are you just here to carp?[/quote] Nahh you didn't even read what you are responding to. The part about "atheists simply cannot resist inserting themselves into the middle of the discussion". The very topic thread insinuates there might be mistakes in the bible.[/quote] So you didn't read OP's links. Got it.[/quote] OP had one link. The first line was "What if all the anti-gay, homophobic rhetoric that has come from the Christian right over these past few decades was rooted in a mistranslation of the Bible?" All we've been discussing is that part of the bible it refers to, and the homophobic rhetoric it refers to, many examples of which we have seen in this thread. Sorry if that doesn't fit the narrative you wanted. Also "got it". So trite, silly and childish. No one who tries that dishonest BS is interested in "a good faith discussion". Good night. [/quote] That is taking one sentence out of the documentary promo blurb and not referencing OP’s invitation to broder discussion of issues related to mistranslations or narrowly dogmatic interpretations of biblical scripture (and out of social historical contexts) - so no that one line is not all we are talking about. OP “This recent doc makes sense to me. I am a straight Christian but value being part of a welcoming inclusive church. Jesus had nothing to say about homosexuality, many historians believe ast Owul’s condemnation was referring to ancient Roman practice of older men exploiting young boys (pedophilia) rather than homosexuality between consenting adults. The oft quoted Leviticus scriptures were in context of seemly conduct for the Temple - and if the reference to homosexuality being an abomination were a mistranslation, that makes sense to me. We are all made in God’s image. Did Christian homophobia come from a mistranslation of the Bible? https://amp.theguardian.c...ocumentary A new documentary challenges an alleged 1946 mistranslation that helped lead to a justification for Christian anti-gayness Vivian Ho Fri 1 Dec 2023 What if all the anti-gay, homophobic rhetoric that has come from the Christian right over these past few decades was rooted in a mistranslation of the Bible? In the documentary, 1946: The Mistranslation that Shifted Culture, researchers and scholars delve into the 1946 mistranslation of 1 Corinthians 6:9 and explore how it fuelled the Christian anti-gay movement that still thrives today”.[/quote]
