*twiddles thumbs* No exciting adventures to report. Some doofus made a right-on-red as I was attempting to make a left turn into the same lane, with the Green Arrow of Left-Turning on my side; I honked at him but did not pursue the matter, as he was driving a rather large business-type van and I was in a cute little energy-efficient car.

Hi, you wanted a Bible verse regarding homosexuality. Since I don't have it right in front of me, the text may be slightly off. It's Leviticus 20:13 which says "if a man lies with a man like he lies with a woman, it is an abomination. they will surely be put to death, there blood shall be upon them." Also, if you do a google search regarding Bible verses regarding homosexuality, you may come up with findings in Galations, Corinthians, and Romans. There are many others but those are the most common.

Old Testament
Leviticus 18:22

Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. ASV

Correct Hebrew translation: "and with a male thou shalt not lie down in beds of a woman; it is an abomination".

It can be seen that, rather than forbidding male homosexuality, it simply restricts where it may occur. Culturally, a woman's bed was her own. Other than the woman herself, only her husband was permitted in her bed, and there were even restrictions on when he was allowed in there. Any other use of her bed would have been considered defilement. Other verses in the Law will help clarify the acceptable use of the woman's bed.

Wow, thanks, that's interesting (and a point I wouldn't even have known to make). I don't read Hebrew at all; is this your translation or is it available somewhere I could read more?

No worries about preaching (at least from me); I have to shut my internal monologuer up all the time. ^^

actually, the entire text was forwarded to me from a friend. but i will do my best to research its origin & let you know. :)
it's always nice to see different angles on things... makes you a more rounded invidual i think...
