A 'sodomite' (as used in the KJV) is the term used for a male temple prostitute. ONCE AGAIN ...a temple prostitute served a specific purpose within the temple and whether or not he was gay or straight was IRRELEVANT! Any condemnation from the early Christian Church (as well as the few references found in the Old Testament) regarding 'sodomite' activity was LESS about 'homosexuality' (these ancient folks didn't know what 'homosexuality' was!) and MORE about the worship of false gods!
That said ...and I'm truly serious here, HWC2040 ...do you honestly believe that a gay person is supposed to read 1 Timothy 1:9-10, here it is again . . .
9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
. . .and feel that this scripture is aimed at them and that they should hang their head in shame and convert to being straight?
You should be ashamed of yourself coming on here and preaching such unadulterated nonsense because this is precisely what it is!
Romulus, your wrong. Paul used the term sodomite knowing that the Physical Temple had no bearing on Christianity for Christ's Body is the Temple. It would make no sense for him to say they were temple prostitutes when that context is not valid.
Here is 1 Tim 9-10:
1Ti 1:9 knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly sinners, for the evil and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
1Ti 1:10 for fornicators, for homosexuals, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine,

For fornicators, for (those who jump from bed to bed) prostitutes, for kidnappers, for liars, ...
Nothing about being committed to a relationship, as in marriage? Or, anything about adultery here.
