KJV DICTNARY DEFN: GAY
* gay definition bible *
HomosexualyIt is signifint that the word "homosexualy" did not enter the English vobulary until the early twentieth century. Some today will therefore argue that what the Bible appears to nmn n be distguished om homosexualy.
They mata that the homosexual orientatn, to the extent that velops early childhood or even before birth, is not nscly chosen and is therefore not sful. As long as this form of sexualy is exprsed monogamoly, is argued, homosexual relatns merely nstute an expansn of the biblil view of marriage.
More specifilly terms of homosexualy, then, same-genr partners n at bt pretend to effect a differentiatn that is physlogilly (and perhaps psychologilly) theologians have suggted that to be created the image of God acrdg to Genis means to be social fellowship wh other persons. Others duce that homosexual relatns are merely an expansn of the tegory of marriage unr this bric of fellowship; that is, timacy and not blogy is the appropriate measure of nformy to the Genis marriage mol. Bee a homosexual relatnship nnot produce a uny of sexually differentiated begs, there nnot be a marriage.

Conmnatns of sexual s the Old Ttament foc on heterosexual Acts, but is important to note that all sexual s, cludg homosexualy, is prohibed relatn to the posive mol of marriage prented Genis. Th, while the Old Ttament scrib homosexual activy as trsilly unjt or impure, the nmnatns do not differ qualatively om nmnatns of heterosexual viatns om the marriage first and most faiar Old Ttament passage is the acunt of tend male rape at Sodom ( Gen 19). Referenc to the cy later bee mon extrabiblil Jewish phemisms for sexual perversn general and homosexual practic particular ( the New Ttament, see 2 Peter 2:6-7; and Ju 7).
Some morn revisnists pot to the subsequent Jewish tradn nmng Sodom for hospaly and argue that the passage do not have homosexual rape view. The homosexual muny, wh s long history of persecutn, naturally se self scribed the Beatus and other offers of hope to the downtrodn. In the se of slavery, for example, the biblil msage is ambiguo; the se of homosexual Acts, on the other hand, what ltle material we have is all cidly negative.
