Part III.
The Lie of Sodom and Gomorrah
For those who delight them both cite passages to condemn homosexuality and consequently rationalize their homophobia with Divine approval, the same Bible verses can be made bouncing against their homophobic prejudices.
As we all know, the pint homophobic religious bigots have been from time immemorial crowing the same song that the sin of homosexuality was the reason God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, however, the Bible itself in the book Ezekiel gives us a list of reasons and SURPRISE! homosexuality is not on the happy list.
Ezekiel 16: "... 49 Behold, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: Pride, plenty of bread and carefree tranquility had she and her daughters. But she did not hand the poor and needy . 50 They were haughty and committed abomination before Me, so that when I saw the deleted it. .. "
Note that NO no mention of homosexuality in above list, but a mere mention of a remote and abomination that did not require any specific identification and at the end of the list when it would be logical if the sin for which the two cities were destroyed had been homosexuality, then homosexuality would been placed at the top of the list and unequivocally identified.
As I said before, the sky caya Bible written in English, but it was written in Hebrew, Aramaic and ancient Greek, to follow a malicious and wrong translation from Hebrew to English homophobic is exposed.
Deuteronomy 23:17 says: "... It has whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel ...
" The original Hebrew says "... i, lo'-thihyeh qedhêshâh Israel velo'-YiHYeH mibbenoth qâdhêshm ibbenêy Israel ... "
Note the words" whore "and" sodomite " in the English version were translated from the Hebrew words " qedhêshâh "and" qâdhêshm " that are the same word in male and female forms that meant "prostitute (I) sacred (I)" of a pagan temple.
Note also that the word S'dom, Hebrew for Sodom, it appears in the Hebrew bible quoted above, then what was the reason to translate the Hebrew word "qâdhêshm" as "Sodomite?"
The reason was the homophobia of the translators.
