A Few Truths

[TheFathersDaughter]

Oh, so it's not being used as evidence that homosexuality is OK?

No. It's being stated as a fact. If anything, it was an argument to encourage liberalism.

 

[MezzaMorta]

Good OP.

New English translations of the Bible use the term 'homosexuality'. It is agreed that 'homosexuality' was not an official term in the Hebrew language until long after the Bible was published however.

The point of translating is not to translate the Hebrew language into Hebrew. The point of translating text is to make it understandable for modern readers or speakers of a foreign language to understand what they are reading in a modern native language. The point of the new and better translations is to clear up the confusions being caused by those with promosexual agendas.

Jesus said "Go and sin no more."

That hardly sounds supporting of relativism or liberalism.

Well you don't usually use opinion to disscuse do you.

Liberalism isn't a "do whatever you want" standing. That's such a stereotype.

Most stereo types are from some truth.

Liberals are on a march forward, even on things that should remain as they are.

yes, it is. It seems david X thinks stereotypes are usually somewhat true, so are all conservatives atleast somewhat bible-thumping fascists?

No, most stereo types are from some truth about a single person.

I don't know a single liberal that thinks we should do anything we want. And this is among HIGH SCHOOL AGE liberals.

Partialy i'm sure

 

[ALiberalTeen]

Partialy i'm sure

Oh, well then ok.

 

[david_x]

Oh, well then ok.

I don't like to put myself under any label, you just take all the blame for things you don't do or say.

You are getting close. Actually, it's this:

The point of the new and "better" translations is to push an anti-homosexual agenda.

 

[ChaliceThunder]

Jesus said "Go and sin no more."

That hardly sounds supporting of relativism or liberalism.

Just before that, he said:"Neither do I condemn you."

Liberal enough for moi. (most certainly NOT a conservative attitude)

Clear point in case here is that things have now been lost in translation. Feel free to read a more easier to read Bible, I'll rather read the true Word.

Sorry, I was trying to reply to the following statement by Carmody

"The point of translating is not to translate the Hebrew language into Hebrew.
