DevotiontoBible said:Btw, there is no "koites" derrivative in the word malakos. It has the meaning for a sissy acting man. It applies to those men who act and dress like women. God told man to be joined to his wife, be fruitful, multiply and subdue the earth. The homosexuals and effeminate men are rebellious to that command. That is why they will end up in hell according to 1 Cor 6:9,10.
Jesus noted during a discussion on marriage and divorce that it is not a command for everyone, because it is not appropriate for some. Some are ot rebellious to the command, they are just incapable of fulfilling it, and do not have to receive it. He did not say that un-married people or those who did not have children, or those who acted less than "macho" (a cultural definition)would be cast out.
Matthew 19:11-12 Jesus replied, "Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given. For some are eunuchs because they were born that way; others were made that way by men; and others have renounced marriage because of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it."
