Homosexuality and the Bible (Part 3)

Published: June 2, 2009, 4 a.m.

An in-depth look at the 6 passages that are taken out of context and used to wrongly condemn gay/lesbian people.Did you know that the word "homosexuality" is not mentioned in the 10 commandments, nor in the summary of the law, nor found in the original language (Hebrew or Greek) of the Bible? No prophet speaks on the subject, and Jesus himself makes no mention of it. The word "homosexual" itself was invented in the late 19th century and it does NOT occur in ANY of the original manuscripts from which the English Bible is descended! The King James Version from 1611 makes no use of the term. The 1st use of the term in an english Bible is to be found in the Revised Standard Version of 1946.
