Again trying
to convey just how indifferent the people were in
the early Christian times
on mixing of gender and sexes in
relationships and marriages,
is a hard sell in the modern day
world that has been shaped
by conscious and unconscious evolution
of the biblical teaching
of a bias toward homosexuality. The very
idea of the "homosexual"
concept, as an individual defined by
their sexual orientation,
is a modern social construction. By
example it can be pointed
out just how little was placed on the
sex of the mate one chose.
Suetonius, the Roman biographer, relates
that Julius Caesar (100-44
bc) a little before the Christian era,
prostituted his body to
King Nicomedes of Bithynia, and in an
oration by Curio the Elder,
he called Caesar `a woman for all men
and a man for all women.'
Emperor Nero, who reigned between 54 and
68 ad, took the marriage
vows with a young man named Sporus, in a
very public ceremony, with
a gown and a veil and with a formal
ceremony of matrimony, after
which Nero took this Sporus with him,
carried on a extravagant
litter, and many times sweetly kissed him,
all decked out with ornaments
and jewels and the finery normally
worn by empresses, and went
to the resort towns in Greece and Italy.
As has been
shown before there is same sex love and same sex
marriage in the bible. There
are also biological factors that
must be taken into account.
There are those born with both sexes,
Jesus had to have known
of Hermaphroditus the son of the goddess
Aphrodite who was born with
both sexes, and where the word
hermaphrodite comes from.
No doubt this caused Jesus to say:
Matthew 19:12 "For there
are some eunuchs which were so born from
their mother's womb." Then
in context Jesus says: "He that is able
to receive it, let him receive
it" to receive marriage, even if
you cannot procreate and
even if you have both sexes or no sex.
This can be shown if the
verses in Matthew 19:3-12 are restricted
without out the clutter
of the other people talking, to only
see what Jesus is saying:
Mat 19:4 ...Have ye not
read, that he which made them at the
beginning made them male
and female,
5 And said, For this
cause shall a man leave father and mother,
and shall cleave to his
wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
6 Wherefore they are
no more twain, but one flesh. What
therefore God hath joined
together, let not man put asunder.
8 ...Moses because of the
hardness of your hearts suffered you
to put away your wives:
"but from the beginning it was not so."
(marriage is to be a life
long commitment, not everyone can do this,
but Moses allowed a written
bill of divorce)
9 And I say unto you,
Whosoever shall put away his wife, except
it be for fornication, and
shall marry another, committeth adultery:
and whoso marrieth her which
is put away doth commit adultery.
(except for having ritual
sex of idolatry to other gods (fornication),
then if you marry another
person you commit adultery,
Fornication zanah {zaw-naw'}
harlot, go a whoring, whoredom,
whore, whorish, harlot,
to be a cult prostitute.)
11 ... All men cannot receive
this saying, save they to whom it
is given. (not everyone
can marry for life)
12 For there are some
eunuchs, which were so born from their
mother's womb: and there
are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs
of men: and there be eunuchs,
which have made themselves eunuchs
for the kingdom of heaven's
sake. He that is able to receive it,
let him receive it. (biologically
not everyone is born only a
man or a woman, some are
born intersexuals, who often have both
sexes, if they can commit
for life, let them marry)
What Jesus is
saying in context is that marriage is a life long
commitment, that not everyone
can achieve. Jesus is saying, people
say that marriage is only
between a man and a woman to become one
flesh to multiply. Jesus
says, that there are also intersexuals
born from their mother's
womb, that you have not taken into
account. They cannot have
children nor can those that have made
themselves unable to have
children and those who were made unable
to have children, but I
say (Jesus) that he that is able to
receive it (marry for life),
let him receive it (and marry for life).
It can be easily
shown that the words usually assigned to
the mythical sin of homosexuality
prove themselves to be otherwise.
The word Sodomite (qadesh)
means a male temple prostitute,
which is referring to the
Chemarim priests in the worship of
Baal-Molech Zep 1:4, they
were no more homosexual than today's
priests are cannibals for
drinking the blood and eating the flesh
of Christ. Both are doing
their religious duty, neither were
cannibals nor homosexuals,
they were performing their religious duty.
Baal-Molech were fertility
gods the way one worships fertility gods is
to have sex, to entice the
gods to have sex to bestow fertility
upon the land, animals and
people. It was these peoples way of praying.
Zep 1:4 "I will also stretch
out mine hand upon Judah, and upon
all the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
and I will cut off the remnant
of Baal from this place,
and the name of the Chemarims with the
priests;" Deu 23:17 "There
shall be no whore of the daughters of
Israel, nor a sodomite of
the sons of Israel.
18 Thou shalt not bring
the hire of a whore, or the price of a
dog, into the house of the
LORD thy God for any vow: for even both
these are abomination unto
the LORD thy God." (Which is saying
there shall be no temple
whores of the daughters of Israel,
nor male temple whores of
the sons of Israel. You will not make
temple whores for God as
they did for Baal, or sell them for the
price of the pimp, the dog
was like a pimp you paid for the temple
whores. The money went to
the upkeep of the temple.) 1 Kings
14:23 "For they also built
them high places, and images, and
groves, on every high hill,
and under every green tree.
24 "And there were also
sodomites in the land: and they did
according to all the abominations
of the nations which the
LORD cast out before the
children of Israel." (The high places
(ramah) were places of illicit
worship, and the sodomites were
the Chemarim priests and
their male and female temple whores.)
2 Kings 23:5 "And he put
down the idolatrous (Chemarim) priests,
whom the kings of Judah
had ordained to burn incense in the
high places (places of illicit
worship) in the cities of Judah,
and in the places round
about Jerusalem; them also that burned
incense unto Baal, to the
sun, and to the moon, and to the planets,
and to all the host of heaven...
7 And he brake down the
houses of the sodomites, that were by the
house of the LORD, where
the women wove hangings for the grove."
(The Kings of Judah started
to worship Baal, they started to build
temples places of illicit
worship, where Chemarim priest and temple
whores could be bought for
a price to give seed to Baal-Molech.
After these Kings they started
to tear down their temples, the temples
of the Chemarim priests
to Baal, the sodomites.)
Keeping this
in mind that the word sodomite means a temple
prostitute, and that they
were the Chemarim priests not homosexuals,
gives further understanding
of Sodom and Gomorrah. It can be shown
from Jeremiah 23:13-14 that
the sin was of the worship of Baal that
was Genesis 18:20 "And the
LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and
Gomorrah is great, and because
their sin is very grievous;"
Jeremiah 23:13 "And I have
seen folly in the prophets of Samaria;
they prophesied in Baal,
and caused my people Israel to err.
14 I have seen also
in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible
thing: they commit adultery,
and walk in lies: they strengthen
also the hands of evildoers,
that none doth return from his
wickedness: they are all
of them unto me as Sodom, and the
inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah."
They were worshipers of Baal.
The verse in
question (Genesis 19:5) when it come to homosexuality
is the confusion over the
use of the word (yada) "to know", which
can mean either to know
as to know if they were spies, or to know
as in went to bed with them.
It can be easily shown in the very
kind of instance exactly
what to know them was all about:
Judges 19:22 "Now as they
were making their hearts merry, behold,
the men of the city, certain
sons of Belial, beset the house round
about, and beat at the door,
and spake to the master of the house,
the old man, saying, Bring
forth the man that came into thine
house, that we may know
him."
Judges 20:4 "And the Levite,
the husband of the woman that was
slain, answered and said,
I came into Gibeah that belongeth to
Benjamin, I and my concubine,
to lodge.
5 And the men of Gibeah
rose against me, and beset the house
round about upon me by night,
and thought to have slain me:
and my concubine have they
forced, that she is dead."
Now for the answer why they
would want to know strangers in Sodom
and in this case. Spies
preceded an invasion, they scoped out the
place, then the city
was destroyed. Easily seen in:
Numbers 21:1 "And when king
Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in
the south, heard tell that
Israel came by the way of the spies;
then he fought against Israel,
and took some of them prisoners.
2 And Israel vowed
a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou wilt
indeed deliver this people
into my hand, then I will utterly
destroy their cities."
2 Samuel 10:3 "And the princes
of the children of Ammon said unto
Hanun their lord, Thinkest
thou that David doth honour thy father,
that he hath sent comforters
unto thee? hath not David rather sent
his servants unto thee,
to search the city, and to spy it out,
and to overthrow it?"
In Genesis 19
the people of Sodom wanted to know if the angels
were spies, they want to
talk to them "to know" them. Sodom and
Gomorrah was destroyed for
the worship of Baal and using their
bodies which were the temple
of God against God, in their worship
of Baal, and inhospitality
toward the angels. How did this notion
start that somehow Sodom
was destroyed for homosexuality? In the
first century ad Philo of
Alexandria was the first to express that
Sodom was destroyed for
homosexuality, which was 1400 years after
the story was written. No
one before him had ever said this in
reference to Sodom, yet
today most all non- scholarly christians
take it for granted that
Sodom was indeed destroyed for homosexuality.
The only basis in the bible
is confusion over the word (yada)
to know. Each layer you
get into toward the facts of homosexuality
in the bible one finds layer
upon layer of cultrual acretion of
mistranslations and taking
verses out of context to provide the
myth of sin of homosexuality
where in fact in context the bible
says nothing about homosexuality
at all, only using your body
against God to worship Baal-Molech
and the other fertility gods,
which is not homosexuality
but doing their religious duties.
Let's add one
more piece to the puzzle, we need to know one
more god, and he is Bacchus.
Bacchus plays an improtant mindset
for Paul, as does the gods
Baal-Molech and Venus. The rites to
Bacchus evolved into a festivals
held under the cover of darkness
five times a month. Where
all emotional and sexual restraints were
thrown off, and the only
law was that all the laws of ordinary
life should be transgressed.
Frenzied women, with their hair
flying in the wind, ran
screaming down to the Tiber to plunge
burning torches into the
river and bring them out again, miraculously,
still lit. The men, raving,
incoherent, scarcely in control of
their limbs, devoted themselves
to the initiates, young men under
twenty whom they "forcibly
debauched." In this highly charged,
orgiastic atmosphere, murder
was the natural sequel for any
initiate who struggled against
his fate. Bacchic rites, in which
all participants were fellow
conspirators, helped to encourage or
cover up other kinds of
crime, such as murder, false witness,
the forgery of wills and
similar documents. This no doubt
played heavliy on the mind
of Paul as he witnessed such rites
of Baal-Molech, Venus and
Bacchus in Corinth where he lived for
a year and a half.
Corinth was
a notorious city of prostitution for the gods. It
would be like a sailors
dream come true today. Sex was plentiful
and carried the double pleasure
that what you were doing was
actually being religious
and a good person, (unlike it would be
today). This giving seed
to gods made for a very welcomed religion
among men. Any sex that
can come to mind could be had, and every
act was a prayer to god.
The money you paid went to the upkeep of
the temples, so the more
you had sex the more favored you were.
The very rich could have
sex with what would be today the Pope
himself, the Chemarim priests.
This blessing was enormous to
yourself and toward the
fertility of the land, animals and people.
No doubt the Grandmothers
in their devout religous gossip would
say about such a man, you
know he is a very devout man, he even
gives seed to Baal with
the Chemarim priest, you don't say, yes.
One can see Paul knew of
this by:
Romans 11:4 "But what saith
the answer of God unto him? I have
reserved to myself seven
thousand men, who have not bowed the
knee to the image of Baal.
5 Even so then at this present
time also there is a remnant
according to the election
of grace."
Now we are ready
to read 1 Corinthians 6 keeping in mind what
fornication means (to go
a whoring after gods) and what Paul saw in
Corinth, those giving seed
to the other gods in ritual prostitution.
Fornication zanah {zaw-naw'}
harlot, go a whoring, whoredom, whore,
whorish, harlot, to be a
cult prostitute.
1 Corinthians 6:8 "Nay,
ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your
brethren.
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous
shall not inherit the kingdom
of God? Be not deceived:
neither fornicators (cult prostitues or
those that go whoring after
them), nor idolaters (worshiper of
Baal, Venus or Bacchus)
nor adulterers (those married but having
sex at Bacchus rites), nor
effeminate (acting as a woman whore,
a male temple prostitute),
nor abusers of themselves with mankind
(givers of the seed in temple
whoredom),
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous,
nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor
extortioners (those who
partake in Bacchus rites), shall inherit
the kingdom of God.
11 And such were some of
you: but ye are washed, but ye are
sanctified, but ye are justified
in the name of the Lord Jesus,
and by the Spirit of our
God.
12 All things are lawful
unto me, but all things are not expedient:
all things are lawful for
me, but I will not be brought under the
power of any.
13 Meats for the belly,
and the belly for meats: but God shall
destroy both it and them.
Now the body is not for fornication,
but for the Lord; and the
Lord for the body (don't use your body
to give or receive the seed
to other gods, God shall destroy you).
14 And God hath both raised
up the Lord, and will also raise up
us by his own power.
15 Know ye not that your
bodies are the members of Christ? shall
I then take the members
of Christ, and make them the members of
an harlot? God forbid (your
body is the temple of God, it is not
ok to even use your body
as a prostitute for God).
16 What? know ye not that
he which is joined to an harlot is one
body? for two, saith he,
shall be one flesh (sex is the
consummation of joining
of two people, if it is done with a temple
prostitute the seed is waisted).
17 But he that is joined
unto the Lord is one spirit.
18 Flee fornication (flee
temple prostitution). Every sin that
a man doeth is without the
body; but he that committeth fornication
sinneth against his own
body (when you give the seed to temple
whores you are entering
a body that is supposed to be the temple
of God not a temple to other
gods, it is idolatry) .
19 What? know ye not that
your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost
which is in you, which ye
have of God, and ye are not your own?
20 For ye are bought with
a price: therefore glorify God in your
body, and in your spirit,
which are God's."
Now for Romans
1, Romans was written following Paul's long
residence at Ephesus in
58 ad, and was written in Corinth (where
the worship of Venus and
Baal by giving the seed to them was known)
where Paul founded a church.
Paul wrote Romans because he wanted
to go to Rome but was bound
for Jerusalem, so meanwhile Paul
dictated the letter to the
Romans to Tertius who took credit for
actually writing Romans
(Rom 16:22), to be read in the Roman church.
Paul made it very clear
that sexual rites to the gods was corrupting
mankind. Not only were they
lusting after other gods, but they
were lusting for the other
gods. They were both with their minds
and their bodies lusting
with the other gods. Acts of idolatry
not homosexuality.
Romans 1:24
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness
through the lusts of their
own hearts, to dishonour their own
bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the
truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and
served the creature more
than the Creator, who is blessed for
ever. Amen.
26 For this cause
God gave them up unto vile affections: for
even their women did change
the natural use into that which is
against nature: (instead
of having sex to procreate to build the
nation of God, they were
prostituting themselves for other gods)
27 And likewise also
the men, leaving the natural use of the
woman, burned in their lust
one toward another; men with men
working that which is unseemly,
and receiving in themselves
that recompense of their
error which was meet. (The men would
not only go a whoring after
idolitrous women and not have them
for the natural use of a
woman, which was giving seed to procreate,
they also gave seed to Chemarim
priests, and lusted after Baal.
The Chemarim priests received
in themselves the seed for Baal
in idolatrus error, the
seed was being spilled and more over it
was being spilled to worship
other gods. Those having enough
money to give seed to Baal
with a Chemarim priest lusted after
the arrogance and status
of giving seed with the High Holy, the
Consecrated Ones.)
It can be seen
in Adam Clarke's Commentary that the temples
to Baal were houses of prostitution.
Ezek 16:
24 That thou hast
also built unto thee an eminent place,
and hast made thee an high
place in every street.
Adam Clarke's Commentary
Ezek 16:
Verse 24. Thou hast also
built unto thee an eminent place a
stew or brothel, a bordel
house. "Thou hast builded thy
stewes and bordell houses
in every place." ... "Thou hast
built a brothel." Houses
of this kind were of a very ancient
date.
In the verse the use of "high
place (ramah)" means a place of
illicit worship. And Adam
Clarke's Commentary on Romans 1:26.
Adam Clarke's Commentary:
Romans 1:26.
For this cause God gave them up. Their system
of idolatry necessarily
produced all kinds of impurity.
How could it be otherwise,
when the highest objects of
their worship were adulterers,
fornicators, and prostitutes
of the most infamous kind,
such as Jupiter, Apollo, Mars,
Venus.
Again the more you look into
the case for a sin of homosexuality
the more it becomes obvious
there is not, that it was a myth
started that has grown favor
to the extent that now it is taken
for granted there is a sin
of homosexuality, and a few choice
verses out of context are
used to prove their myth. It seems
those that propagate this
myth of the sin of homosexuality in
the bible cannot differentiate
between the act of same sex
(giving the seed to Baal-Molech),
from the orientation of
homosexuality (being a homosexual).
They see two men together
giving the seed to Baal
as an act of homosexuality, not a religious
duty. It would be no different
than the inablilty to separate the act
of drinking the blood and
eating the body of Christ from
cannibalism. They are not
cannibals, they are performing a
religious duty. The same
can be said of the giving of the seed
with Chemarim priests, it
was not an act of homosexuality it
was a prayer and religious
duty to Baal. The Chemarim priests
were no more homosexuals
than are today's priests cannibals,
both are just performing
a religious duty. The sin of
homosexuality is a myth,
the sin is of ilolatry, using your
body which is the temple
God against God, to give or receive
the seed in the worship
of other gods. That is idolatry, not
homosexuality, to say otherwise
is blasphemy.
