Can believers of Jesus Christ assist or promote productions that showcase homosexual acceptance?

[janice marie newton]

I was just browsing and came across this discussion one Minister replied that Sodom and Gomorrah was not about homosexuality, however he did not say what is was about. I am looking for some clarification. What was it about if not homosexuality?

" But do we know that these abominations are homosexuality? We do not. "

"And if a man lie with mankind, as with womankind, both of them have committed ABOMINATION: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them."

[Minister Gerald Palmer]

The question was in regards to Ezekiel and also that form of abomination deals more with religious practice. Check it out.

The fornication that Jude is speaking of is homosexuality.

"Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire." [Jude 7]

One could always call homosexual relations "fornication" because such behavior was outside of the sanction of marriage.

Jude describes what the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrha did, Ezekiel characterizes it as "abomination": The two commentaries complement one another.

ἑτέρας eteras, the other (of two options)

Many words do have multiple meanings. This is why a careful translator uses context to determine the intended meaning. A commonly accepted use of eteros (in its various forms) is to distinguish one of a pair of things. Some specific instances include Luke 5:7 and Acts 23:6:

"And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other [eterō] ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink." [Luke 5:7]

"But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other [eteron] Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question." [Acts 23:6]

So, when Jude writes of the Sodomites that they were "going after eteras flesh," and we look to the context of Genesis 19, we see that the meaning is "the other" of two options. The Sodomites demanded that Lot turn over his male visitors for their sexual gratification. Lot actually offered the crowd his daughters instead, but the men of Sodom rejected that compromise and tried to break into the house and get at the male newcomers. When given the option of having sexual relations with women, the Sodomites persisted in persuing the other flesh instead. Contextually, it isn't difficult to discern Jude's meaning. And in that Jude is criticizing the Sodomites intent to have sex with men rather than women, Jude is criticizing their homosexual behavior.

Nobody with a brain the size of a peanut agrees with you homosexuals neither. The only reason you believe what you believe ,  in the asshole of another man, is because you are demon-possed.

[EVANGELIST TOSHIA GRIFFIN]

WOW REALY RUDE AND UNGODLY... WOW.. REPLIES LIKE THAT WILL REALLY GET EM DELIVERED????  WOW

[Andy C Wuhraizer]

No it will not get them delivered but it is sure better than the stupidity of coniving and the silliness of thinking men of God should be accommodating, sentimental, and all embracing.

[newview]

It was about having abundance and not caring for the poor ANNNNND homosexuality.

[Minister Gerald Palmer]

Sodom was set to be destroyed before the angels arrived and before that we don't read anything about homosexuality.

[newview]

Is there anything wrong with homosexuality?
Can a man lie with a man as he would a woman and not be sinning?

Do you minister to men who have homosexual proclivities that they should fight those leanings and that they should fast and pray that those desires for men leave their hearts and minds?

Do you teach men that they will not only go to hell for laying with a man but that they will go to hell for behaving effeminately?

How do you minister to those drowning in sexual perversions?
How do you minister to those that commit fornication - whether they are straight or gay?
Do yo tell them that fornication is wrong - and that if they are burning in their flesh that they should just go get married?

Wow....I guess that homosexual would have a problem.

[Minister Gerald Palmer]

You ask a lot of questions but you never responded to my point that homosexuality was not the cause of Sodm's fall. Why only the focus on men? What about lesbians?
