New York Times Twists Leviticus 18 to Support Homosexual Activity
By Tyler O'Neil July 28, 2018
 

This month, America's newspaper of record — The New York Times — published an article suggesting that Leviticus 18, one of the clearest passages condemning same-sex activity in the Bible, was altered, and that the original version was pro-homosexual.

This was based on no groundbreaking archaeological discovery, no proof. But that's not how the article reads.

"There is good evidence that an earlier version of the laws in Leviticus 18 permitted sex between men," argued Idan Dershowitz, a biblical scholar and junior fellow at the Harvard Society of Fellows. "In addition to having the prohibition against same-sex relations added to it, the earlier text, I believe, was revised in an attempt to obscure any implication that same-sex relations had once been permissible."

That's the typical heresy you get from demonically-inspired people.  Also false on it's face.

Sodom and Gomorrah happened LONG before the Laws in Leviticus were penned.

So no, homosexuality in any capacity was an evil abomination in the sight of God - and punished accordingly.

But I am sure at least one resident here will fully concur with the Slimes, being the Constitutional, Legal and Biblical Scholar he fashions himself.
Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775
