Bible John
New User
INTRODUCTION
I am a born again Christian who chooses to fellowship with the
fundamentalist Baptists whom for the most part hold scripture (and not
culture) as the authority throughout their churches. I believe that the
bible spells the sin of homosexuality out in black and white letters, so
that even a mentally handicapped individual can understand. So sad is it
that the god of this age has and continues to blind those that are not
in the light so that to them a black and white area like homosexuality
would turn into a grey area. Donıt get me wrong about the grey areas in
the bible, as there are many. And some of the many grey areas are below.
Day of worship
Infant Baptism
The Role of Women in Ministry
Worship styles
Vegetarianism vs. eating meat
Pre Trib vs. Post Trib
But homosexuality the bible very clearly in black and white letters
condemns. But sadly homosexuality is a heavily debated issue throughout
the contemporary church. The Liberal Christian side (another word for
unbelievers) mostly seems to accept homosexuality as well as many other
sins. But the strong Bible driven fundamentalist side believes that the
bible is quite clear on its teachings of homosexuality. In this debate I
will be focusing on a number of bible verses that quite clearly condemn
homosexuality and various ways that they are translated using a number
of different translations. I do have some knowledge of the original
languages (although I admit I am not a scholar) so I can and will show
that homosexuality is a sinful act by Gods standards as clearly stated
in his written word called the Bible. Throughout my debate I will avoid
using any of the liberal paraphrases or liberal dynamic free works so
popular amongst the contemporary evangelical church of today. Such
translations include the Todayıs New International version and the
Message. While these translations are by no means synonymous with those
of the cults, they have taken away much of the teachings of the bible on
controversial issues in their attempt to be relevant to the culture.
This is the tragic translation philosophy behind these modern
translations of the bible and behind the ministry philosophy of the
contemporary evangelical and charismatic churches throughout Christendom
today. So the translations that I may use will be the following.
New International Version- Most conservative of the Dynamic free works.
This translation is not a word for word copy, but merely a thought for
thought or concept for concept copy. Unlike the TNIV it does not take
away the meanings on the controversial issues.
KJV- The oldest and perhaps most popular English translation which is
based off the Texus Receptus and Majority Texts.
NKJV- A modern translations off the KJV
NASB- The most literal English translation from the original languages.
This will be my primary translation that I will be referring to in this
debate
Holmans (HCSB
English Standard Version (ESV)
