Samuel 20:41


Can somebody explain to me how this isn't expressing homosexuality?

I don't agree with these nutjobs very often but I do here. I dont think this verse of the bible has anything to do with being gay.

Here in Vegas in the seventies and early eighties, when the italian mobs ran the show I saw them kiss each other all the time on the cheek and if you called them homosexuals, you would get whacked and buried in the desert.

Thank you.

Re: Question about a particular verse.

Are you looking for an justification for your homosexuality?

You won't find it by twisting bible verse.

This passage is about Saul's fears about David usurping as king. Saul seeks his death, but the plots only endear David the more to the people, and especially to Saul's son Jonathan who loves David (1 Samuel 18:1, 2 Samuel 1:25-26).Warned by Jonathan, David flees into the wilderness.

The homerness you claim to see is just two friends savoring the results of a successful ploy.

2 Peter 2 1But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

Do you see homosexuality in everything? That's usually the sign that you're a homer yourself. It is common in the middle east for men to kiss upon Greeting. Our Great President Bush kissed the king of Saudi Arabia, are you going to say that G.W. Bush is homosexual as well?

As for crying together, look at the context. David was being driven off by Saul, losing his best friend. Are you so heartless that you don't care if you will never see your friends again? I'll even bet that you're an atheist and only here to mock God. You didn't even have the common courtesy to introduce yourself in the introduction forum.

Samuel 20:41

When the boy left, David came out from the south side of the rock. He bowed face-down on the ground before Jonathan three times. Then David and Jonathan kissed each other and cried together, but David cried the most.
