The gay bible

Leviticus 18:22

“You shall not rest with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.”[1] It is not a surprise that this verse seems to say that lgbtq+ male sex is forbidden in the eyes of God. The dominant view of western Christianity forbids same-sex relations. This verse is one of the clobber passages that people cite from the Bible to condemn homosexuality. This essay first looks at the various ways the verse is translated into the English Bible and then explores some of the strategies used to create an affirming perception of what this corridor means for the LGBTQ community. More specifically, it presents the interpretation of K. Renato Lings in which Lev. 18:22 refers to male-on-male incest.

While Lev. 18:22 is used to condemn homosexuality, we must realize that the word “homosexuality” was only recently coined in the English language. So did this term exist in ancient Israel? Charles D. Myers, Jr. confirms that none of the prophets in the Hebrew Bible talk about homosexuality.[2] He also contends that in ancient Israel same-sex relations were viewed as an ancient Proximate East problem. The ancient Near East tradition included pederasty and relations between an older man and

Synopsis

A Male lover Bible

The Queen James Bible is based on The King James Bible, edited to resolve interpretive ambiguity and prohibit homophobic misinterpretation.

Homosexuality in The Bible

Homosexuality was first mentioned in the Bible in 1946, in the Revised Standard Version. There is no mention of or reference to homosexuality in any Bible prior to this - only interpretations have been made. Anti-LGBT Bible interpretations commonly cite only eight verses in the Bible that they interpret to mean homosexuality is a sin; eight verses in a book of thousands!

The Queen James Bible seeks to resolve the interpretive ambiguity in the Bible as it pertains to homosexuality. There is no ideal Bible translation, but we wanted one that could not be used to spread hate in the name of our Faith. We edited those eight verses in a way that makes homophobic interpretations impossible.

The Queen James Bible?

As one can see there is no treasure at the end of this LGBT rainbow of colorful adding and subtracting from God's Synonyms. LGBT may change some printed words, but the Word endures forever (1 Pet 1:25; Psa 119:89; Isa 40:8; Matt 5:18; 1 Pet 1:23; 2:2; 2 Pet 1:19; 1 John 1:1, 3). Perhaps instead of trying to justify their sinful behavior, the LGBT movement (and especially the editors of the QJV) should spend more time reflecting on God's eternal Word in 2 Corinthians 4:1-2, which says:

Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

Only the reality [the full truth and nothing but the truth] can put one free (John 8:32).
