Editor: In a previous letter captioned âChristianity, the homosexualâs worst nightmareâ, published in your newspaper two weeks ago, I detailed the anti-Christian agenda of the homosexual movement, as told in their own very words. I will here point out a few examples of how they are seeking to destroy the Holy Scriptures by perverting the verses which condemn their behaviour as abominable.{{more}}
In a recently produced gay version of the Bible, which they called the Queen James Bible (http://queenjamesbible.com/gay-bible/), homosexual translators have softened Godâs hatred for sodomy and have twisted plain scriptures to suit the sinful act of homosexuality. They have changed eight scriptures, including Leviticus 18:22. This verse was changed from âThou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is an abominationâ to âThou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind in the temple of Molech: it is an abomination.â The attempt in this rainbow coloured book is to make homosexuality an abomination only when it is practised in a pagan temple. The original scripture, however, shows that homosexuality is an absolute abomination regardless of where it is practised.
Where the Bible pronounced the death penalty for the sin of sodomy in Leviticus 20:13, the âgay bibleâ made the death penalty applicable to homosexuality only when committed in the temple of Molech. This makes homosexuality okay if done outside this temple.
They also added to the plain straight scriptures to dilute the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah. They, inspired by the devil, changed Genesis 19: 5 from â Bring them out unto us, that we may know themâ to â Bring them out unto us, that we may rape and humiliate themâ replacing the words âknow themâ with ârape and humiliate themâ. There is no ârape and humiliateâ in the original Hebrew text. This changes the meaning of the text to make the sin of Sodom appear to be raping in order to humiliate, when humiliation was not mentioned in these scriptures. Men having sex with men now seem okay, as long as it is not ârape and humiliateâ. All these changes they make to justify the sin of homosexuality.
For Romans 1: 26, 27 they made sodomy wrong only when it is done as a ritual in worship of idols. They removed from verse 26 the portion that refers to sodomy as âvile affectionsâ and recreated the scripture to the issue âritual lustâ. In other words, they removed the strong condemnation of homosexuality and replaced it with a condemnation of lust that is practiced when worshiping idols. They also perverted verse 27, supplying the word âpaganâ and saying âGod gave the idolaters up unto vile affectionsâ. These words were supplied and are not there in the original Greek. They were supplied to justify the abomination of homosexuality. Imagine, a homosexual can now claim to be a follower of Jesus (not a pagan) and practise Sodomy and it will not be sin, according to this deranged perversion.
In I Corinthians 6:9, they replaced Godâs condemnation of the âeffeminateâ with the words âmorally weakâ. Morally weak can be applied to anyone, but âeffeminateâ is specifically referring to men behaving as women. The transgender and transvestite are here condemned, but they have removed this condemnation, so that they can freely practise this sin and not read the Bible without discomfort. They also changed âabusers of themselves with mankindâ to âpromiscuousâ. The original meaning of that phrase in the King James Version is âmale bed partnersâ (according to the Greek New Testament 4th Ed).
Homosexuality remains a sin in the Holy Scriptures, even when men may seek to change that fact by producing their own âBibleâ. Those who add or subtract from Godâs Holy Scriptures, as these homosexuals did in their blasphemy, will suffer in the plagues when God destroys the wicked (Revelations 22:18, 19; Deut 4:2).
