As noted racists happy cite this biblical passage just as you cite Leviticus passages.
When is the last time you went on vacation and learned another language while you were gone? Never, well, that's because you weren't a KJV translator.
But you use Sodom to justify your own personal prejudice. However you wish to cherry pick just what you want out of that particular story ignoring the actions of Lot and the acquiescence of rape and child sexual abuse that is part of that same story. To use Sodom to justify prejudice against homosexuals is to leave one open to having to deal with the fact that Sodom also ends up showing child sexual abuse and rape are not immoral things
Well either the Bible promotes, or condemns slavery, which is it?No, I was not bringing condemnation on the Bible, I was just trying to get my point about slavery addressed. It's not off-topic, it directly relates to the issue of homosexuality.
It doesn't even have anything to do with racism. I would LOVE to hear someone use them for racism. Are you joking?
None of which changes what was posted about the translation problems of Leviticus 18:22
Ok, I see what you are saying. You are saying that I think Lot should have used his children as substatutes. Ok, well, that's an easy one. Lot was wrong, and should have never said what he said. He shouldn't have done it, and the Bible also doesn't say that he should have done it either.
The bible never condemns slavery
Except for the fact that their is no translation problem. Just because you think there is, doesn't mean there is. The KJV translators were aware of your translation problem, and they didn't make a mistake by translating it the way they did. They carefully had studied, and knew of all these things, they were 100% qualified to translate what they did. You are wrong, that "miss translation" is not correct. If you think you found something new, that these translators didn't already know about, you are wrong. They were smarter than you, and knew about it. They also knew not to translate it that way, end of story.
The Bible never says slavery was a good thing. You are the ones that say it promoted slavery. So, YOU tell me. Was the Bible wrong?
The passage is in reference to the curse that Noah places on Canaan, the son of Ham because Ham saw Noah naked after Noah went out and got snorting drunk. The "curse of Ham" has been used by some individuals to justify racism against the descendants of Ham, who are people of African ancestry.
Lot TRIED to use his daughters (which is interesting if one is pretending that the men of Sodom were homosexuals) and despite his advocating of rape and child sexual abuse was still considered by God to be moral and get a free bus pass out of Sodom.
Except you are claiming Leviticus 18:22 says "Do not have carnal relations with a man." When it does not say this.

God allows a lot of things, but that doesn't mean that sense he allows certain things, that he wants us doing it. Again, now you are bringing condemnation on God, saying he promotes slavery.
The evidence is that they were SMARTER THAN YOU. They were 100% qualified in doing what they did, and I will go with THEIR translation of those words, over your translation of those words, because they were smarter, and more educated.
