Re: Scripture Challenge
Paul used the Greek word malakoi which means soft, fine or weak. To translate it as 'effeminate' or anything remotely connected to homosexuality is a mistranslation. If Paul wished to condemn homosexuals he would have used the common term of the day, paiderasste.
Learn the context of the passage! You cannot take it in isolation. It is part of the wider Holiness Code which concerned sexual practices in pagan temples. It prohibits homosexual relations in a women's bed within a pagan temple. It has no wider application.
Context and meaning is precisely the same as above.
The passage has nothing whatsoever to do with homosexuality, but instead refers to early Christians who left the Church and revered to pagan practices, including participating in both homosexual and heterosexual orgies.
Contrary to popular opinion, a sodomite is not a homosexual. Learn what the term means.
Nothing here about homosexuality. You need to learn what the sin of Sodom was.
