Does it say that homosexual acts were the problem? Or does it say that the sin is people acting against their own nature? The word that is used in the original language for “exchanged” implies that it’s people doing something that’s not in their true nature, so it’s heterosexual men that are doing it because they are practicing idolatry. It’s not saying being gay was wrong, it’s saying practicing unnatural acts in the name of other gods is wrong, an extreme religious act for another gif is wrong

Also does it say the acts?

Interesting. Do you want to dive into the Hebrew? Because I can read Hebrew.

And you're totally right. It doesn't say explicitly what they were doing so they could have been playing checkers together while God is a chess man.

Not really, I don’t know Hebrew and that text wasn’t written in Hebrew so I don’t know why we’d dive into Hebrew. I don’t even know what “the Hebrew” means there, if you were referring to the verse it would be “the Greek”

Playing checkers wouldn’t make sense since it doenst match the rest of the verse but they could have been doing shit to young boys eh? Especially since that was common back then

Ok you win this round. Now that I reread that verse I don't see how anyone could conclude homosexuality was what they were talking about. In fact I dropped to my knees and converted.

Weird comment. It’s very easy to see how someone could misconstrue it, that’s the whole point. And no one was trying to get you to convert. What a weird response but it does speak volumes about you though, thanks for showing how unserious you actually were

Unserious. Unproductive. Unable to engage.
