      Because a German didn't coin that specific term until the 1860s. I mean, what's the point? Is she arguing for a return to such terms as "sodomites" instead, or what?

        Thank you- the word there word clumsily translated into "abomination", is same for people that eat shellfish.
        Leviticus 20:13 If there is a man who sleeps with a male as those who sleep with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they must be put to death. They have brought their own deaths upon themselves.

        Seems pretty clear cut to me. It's a sexual act that is condemned. Meaning it is immoral.
        See above. The actual Hebrew word is simply about ritual uncleanness, and is used to describe wearing blended cloth (are all your shirt 100 percent cotton?), eating shellfish, bacon, etc..

        But hey, since you want to insist on it, who was the last gay man you stoned?

          Yes, and you're one of those "heretics" in the eyes of other churches, and their doctrines are the core doctrines. Sadly you're too far into it to see how hilarious this is.

              Reminds me of the fellow some time ago who claimed he was an expert on the Bible because he had read it twice. In English.

                Just because the word "abomination" is used in both cases doesn't mean that "abomination" means that the law is only in regards to "ritual purity" - it just means that both things are "abominations"

                  no. Just because the word abomination is used in both cases doesn't mean that both are "ritual purity" - that's one of the dumbest arguments I have ever heard. Abomination means something that causes disgust. God can be disgusted by something immoral or impure. And a sexual act is a moral act. It falls under sexual morality/immorality.

                        He ignored my post 165 already, and blithely ploughs on with the same argument.

                        It is also used for such activities as adultery (Ezekiel 22:11) and idolatry (Deut 7:26; Deut 13:13) including blood sacrifices to Moloch (Jer 32:35).. Or a wicked person's sacrificial offering (Proverbs 21:27) - all of which also violate the provisions of the New Covenant. In short, תּוֹעֵבַה can be used for just about any activity that offends God.
                        Of course "sacrificial offerings" are not the same in the New Covenant as they were in the Old.


                        Hopefully you will get the message through.

                          That's right up there with "weak point - yell louder".

                              Yup. That's been the story since the earliest Gnostics claimed to be the TRUE CHURCHTM and that the Disciples were heretics. A claim existing doesn't make it true.
