Why are these translated so differently?

Pretty much all American biblical translations say this...
Leviticus 18:22 - KJV
"Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination."
Leviticus 20:13 - KJV
"If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
Leviticus 18:22 - NKJV
"You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.”
Leviticus 20:13 - NKJV
"If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them."


All German bibles (prior to 1983) say this (apparently older Swedish/Norwegian bibles do too)....
Leviticus 18:22 - Lutherbibel 1545
"Du sollst nicht bei Knaben liegen wie beim Weibe; denn es ist ein Greuel".
"You shall not lie with a young boy as with a woman; for it is an abomination."
Leviticus 20:13 - Lutherbibel 1545
"Wenn jemand beim Knaben schläft wie beim Weibe, die haben einen Greuel getan und sollen beide des Todes sterben. Ihr Blut sei auf ihnen!"
If anyone sleeps with a young boy as with a woman, they have done an abomination and both of them are to die. Your blood be on them!

Leviticus 18:22 - Lutherbibel 1912
"Du sollst nicht beim Knaben liegen wie beim Weibe; denn es ist ein Greuel."
"You shall not lie with a young boy as with a woman; for it is an abomination."
Leviticus 20:13 - Lutherbibel 1912
"Wenn jemand beim Knaben schläft wie beim Weibe, die haben einen Greuel getan und sollen beide des Todes sterben; ihr Blut sei auf ihnen."
"If anyone sleeps with a young boy as with a woman, they have done an abomination and both shall die to death; their blood be on them."

Who gives a fuck if it’s in the Bible or not when it’s clear that Christianity is against sodomy as it is against all gluttonous excesses that bring one farther from god like extramarital sex. Why do people these even claim to be Christians when it’s taken over by progressive dogma? I see Protestant churches all over since I moved with BLM, stop hate, and LGBT flags on them. I don’t understand why they even continue to operate under the guise of being a Christian church when it’s something else now entirely

Clearly Sodom was entirely populated with young boys. Onan got zapped for wasting his semen with a woman but the same God obviously approves of buggery. I imagine that since "young boy" is sort of vague the legions of "ephebephiles" among the gays will claim that's OK too. Literal snakes all of them.

This is incredibly easy to deboonk. The Hebrew word used in this sentence is: זָכָ֔ר (zā·ḵār). This same word is used throughout the Old Testament to mean "male" without an exact reference to age. The Greek word used in this sentence is: ἄρσενος (arsenos). Again, this word means "male," and it's used throughout the Bible to mean "male" and only "male." Not boy. A quick look at the Peshitta reveals a similar translation. So whether you're using the Hebrew, Greek, or Syriac, the word used means "male," not boy. Anyone trying to sell you a different definition is bullshitting you.

How would the basic tenants of "stop hate" or "Black Lives Matter" be against the Bible?

The same language uses for homosexuality commands death for cursing your parents, and death for all parties in adultery. You should die childless if you marry your brother's wife in one section of Leviticus but are also commanded to marry your brother's wife if he dies before having kids on pains of banishment.

Do conservative churches enforce brothers marrying brothers' wives? Same language. Cheese burgers are also an "abomination" and they are served in Churches. If you take the OT law as superceded there is no reason to prioritize one over the other.

Jesus doesn't mention homosexuality. Paul mentions it in passing but uses a word that refers to having sex with boys not men and doesn't prescribe death.

>Jesus doesn't mention homosexuality.
Jesus condemns "πορνεία", referring to all sexual immorality, which, given the cultural backdrop, includes homosexuality.
>Paul mentions it in passing but uses a word that refers to having sex with boys not men and doesn't prescribe death.
Paul condemns "ἀρσενοκοίτης," which literally means "man-bed" or "man-bedding." Notice he doesn't say "boy-bed" or "boy-bedding."
Every attempt to define these words differently ignores the clear and obvious etymology of these words, their contexts, and usage elsewhere in the Bible; in other words, every attempt to define these words differently is an act of deliberate obfuscation.

That's a misrepresentation, it's not even a real Greek word:
>Arsenokoitai, occurs once each in I Corinthians and I Timothy (1:10), but nowhere else in other literature of the period. It is derived from two Greek words, one meaning, "males" and the other "beds", a euphemism for sexual intercourse. Other Greek words were commonly used to describe homosexual behavior but do not appear here. The larger context of I Corinthians 6 shows Paul extremely concerned with prostitution, so it is very possible he was referring to male prostitutes. But many experts now attempting to translate these words have reached a simple conclusion: their precise meaning is uncertain.

>>19264335
Support for BLM peaked at over half the population of the US. With 160 million people you get a lot of interpretations. The broadest is that the affirmative statement "Black lives matter," is supposed to be juxtaposed with the fact that they don't appear to matter when police kill Black citizens using unwarranted force. A prime example being in Aurora where multiple officers were there to restrain a single 130lb autistic kid and beat him while having EMTs overdose him on ketamine. No official wrong doing was found until protests and indictments much later. I don't see how that is unbiblical.

>"Black lives matter," is supposed to be juxtaposed with the fact that they don't appear to matter when police kill Black citizens using unwarranted force.

It's actually more juxtaposed by black-on-black violence and abortions being far, far, FAR more common than police brutality cases. Police brutality is posed as being more prevalent than reality; and lives, regardless of race, and posed as mattering more than reality.

Christianity should be nothing except what is contained in the bible. If homosexuality is not condemned in the bible, then Christianity has no justification for condemning it. How is this hard to understand? You can't just make up rules and attribute them to the will of God if they haven't been handed down as such

Why should homosexuality a priori bring one further from God? That's quite the loaded assumption.

Dietary laws (what goes into a man) = explicitly abrogated in the New Covenant:
>"Once again Jesus called the crowd to Him and said, “All of you, listen to Me and understand: Nothing that enters a man from the outside can defile him; but the things that come out of a man, these are what defile him.” After Jesus had left the crowd and gone into the house, His disciples inquired about the parable. “Are you still so dull?” He asked. “Do you not understand? Nothing that enters a man from the outside can defile him, because it does not enter his heart, but it goes into the stomach and then is eliminated.” (Thus all foods are clean)" (Mark 7:14-19)

Morality and conduct laws (what comes out of a man) = explicitly confirmed to still be necessary in the New Covenant
>"He continued: “What comes out of a man, that is what defiles him. For from within the hearts of men come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, wickedness, deceit, debauchery, envy, slander, arrogance, and foolishness. All these evils come from within, and these are what defile a man.” (Mark 7:20-22)

Not sure what you're implying, but the scripture is pretty obvious and explicit here. If you are a follower of Jesus Christ, you must condemn homosexual acts and other acts of sexual immorality, and keep all of His commands - "Whoever has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me. The one who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and reveal Myself to him", says the Lord.

Have you actually read I Corinthians 6? It's largely about sin (and especially sins against one's own body, which is the temple of the Holy Spirit) and redemption through the baptism that joins man's spirit to God, and he lists some of the things that damn us ranging from idolatry to thievery to fornication to homosexuality.

probably not going to be welcome here, but this is why.

homosexuality is a mental illness that occurs VERY commonly among children who experienced childhood sexual abuse. homosexuality is coupled with high rates of depression, anxiety, suicide, BPD, disease, and a rate of other scourges like proclivity to pedophilia at rates far higher than the general public.

Minorities lost all my support when they openly state they would like to exterminate white/straight people and get 70 thousand upvotes and nobody "cancels" them but if someone ever so slightly points out that they shouldn't be hateful they get immediately obliterated. All this stuff like capitalizing black but not white and saying that white people are too white and everything that white people do is bad and wrong and all males are rapists and so on is not about equality, it's just institutionalized hate and I refuse to hate myself as much as I don't want to hate minorities. I refuse to agree that children should be taught that being trans is normal. If someone is trans he's mentally ill, mentally ill people deserve respect and help but indulging in their schizophrenia and enabling sociopaths goes to the detriment of everyone. I think there are far too many people involved in these movements who are driven by hate so as long as they are held up instead of shunned I will not support these movements.
