WAS THE APOSTLE PL GAY?
The persons Pl nmns are maniftly not homosexual: what he rogat are homosexual acts mted by apparently heterosexual is not clear that Pl distguished his thoughts or wrgs between gay persons ( the sense of permanent sexual preference) and heterosexuals who simply engaged perdic homosexual behavr.
SOME FACTS SUGGT PL WAS GAY
It is fact unlikely that many Jews of his day regnized such a distctn, but is que apparent that--whether or not he was aware of their existence--Pl did not discs gay persons but only homosexual acts mted by heterosexual persons. Contrary to the hasty claims of the prs, there is no five evince that homosexualy is termed by physlogil factors (see “Jt Dog What Com Naturally, ” Clear Thkg, Sprg, 1997).
WAS THE CENTURN REALLY GAY AND IF SO, WHY DID PL SPEAK AGAST HOMOSEXUALY?
If Pl did not unrstand genue homosexualy, though, then how n one say he excepted nstutnal homosexuals when he wrote that they “exchanged the natural functn for that which is unnatural”? Wouldn’t Pl warn agast both typ of vlatn--heterosexuals mtg cent acts wh members of the same sex, and homosexuals mtg cent acts wh members of the oppose sex?
