Today's Word Homosexuality
This word is a really touchy subject for me. I was with my friend Crystal and we were looking through the bible and decided to research homosexuality. Below are the passages that discuss homosexuality, we decided to translate them ourselves and this is what we came up with:
Leviticus 18:22
" 'Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable."
Tyler's Translation
In other words, Do not lie with a man who ALSO lies with a woman. It says nothing about lying with a man who DOES NOT lie with a woman.
Roman 1:27
"In the same way, their males also abandoned their natural sexual function toward females and burned with lust toward one another. Males committed indecent acts with males, and received within themselves the appropriate penalty for their perversion."
Tyler's Translation
Men who once laid with women developed lust for other men, making it a sin. Men who are gay were born with the attraction to men, thus never having attraction for men, which this is not stated in the bible as a sin. If a man who once had relations with a woman develops attraction for a man, that is considered a sin, not if the man only had attraction for other men to begin with.
What are your thoughts after reading this blog? Do you think my translations are right? If not, why?

Soo after reading this I really didnt know what to think, mostly because I am not a very religious individual. But i do know that you cant help who you fall for, wheter it be a guy or a girl. I feel as long as its love and not lust, it cant be wrong. there is already too much hate in this world, why try and stop the love just because it happens to be between 2 men or 2 women? Love is precious, and when it grabs ahold of you, cherish every moment of it before it flutters away :)
