I at least went to church long enough as a child to know that that was actually a mistranslated thing. It was supposed to say man shall not lie with young boy and if you actually get the original Hebrew Bible, that is the direct translation.

the bible is a wonderful thing because we can look back and compare bibles over the centuries and look at the (mis)translations as well as what shit was just randomly added centuries after jesus

Oh yeah! Remember how the king James version of the Bible came out and had a bunch of edits because King James was (at least) bisexual and didn’t want people to find out? That’s actually where the mistranslation came from.

While progressives might take it that way, when Zakar is used, it is mostly there to point out that it applies to males of all ages not just children

Lmao😭 Entirely possible lol. And yea that mistranslation has caused me a lotta headache💀 Same for the Leviticus story. I read to see what it actually said and I can tell you right now the moral of that story was NOT “gay people are evil”.

People also try to use Sodom and Gomorrah as something to hate on gay people and say that everything was destroyed because of them. Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t it destroyed because men were 🍇ing angels?

You’re genuinely uneducated about the bible. I’d be happy to correct you in the DMs if you’d like

Oh shit that was the one I read and not Leviticus. The one where the message was “hey maybe don’t gang rape people who visit your town that’s kinda awful”😭 And then they did it anyways except for like one family. So god smited those towns and then when the family was leaving the mom looked back at it and turned to a pillar of salt for some reason. That parts weird. But yea it was that story not Leviticus that I read lmao.

Oh and yea there were angels there too. God sent them to scope things out I think. See if the people actually were awful or deserved to be saved.

Feel free, because any real religious scholar will tell you that in the context of the Bible, Zakar is not referring to a boy in the sense of pedephilia

As a matter of fact there are plenty good Hebrew words that be used to refer to boy, but they weren’t used. Why is that, if I’m so uneducated?
