Lesson: finding the answers at the core
Recently, there was one of you that brought something to my attention. I don’t doubt some of us have experience with other languages from either family or simple self study.
I myself have learned Spanish, French, a bit of Russian, and a bit of Greek.
What are you getting at? Well, in order to see whether something is true or not you go to the source don’t you? When it comes to the Bible, you go search up either the Hebrew, Greek, or Aramaic.
Henceforth, given the rise of questioning whether LGBTQ is a sin or not, I’m giving a display of what the Greek says. This is Romans 1:26-28, and I’ve included the Hebrew and Aramaic at the bottom.
For in the end, many scholars can say something, so, why don’t we all put that to the test?
I challenge each and every one of you to read and search for yourself the translations presented. And then truly ask yourselves whether it’s a sin or not.
Διὰ τοῦτο παρέδωκεν αὐτοὺς ὁ Θεὸς εἰς πάθη ἀτιμίας· αἵ τε γὰρ θήλειαι αὐτῶν μετήλλαξαν τὴν φυσικὴν χρῆσιν εἰς τὴν παρὰ φύσιν,
ὁμοίως τε καὶ οἱ ἄρσενες ἀφέντες τὴν φυσικὴν χρῆσιν τῆς θηλείας ἐξεκαύθησαν ἐν τῇ ὀρέξει αὐτῶν εἰς ἀλλήλους, ἄρσενες ἐν ἄρσεσιν τὴν ἀσχημοσύνην κατεργαζόμενοι καὶ τὴν ἀντιμισθίαν ἣν ἔδει τῆς πλάνης αὐτῶν ἐν ἑαυτοῖς ἀπολαμβάνοντες.
ἐξεκαύθησαν-were inflamed
κατεργαζόμενοι-working out
Καὶ καθὼς οὐκ ἐδοκίμασαν τὸν Θεὸν ἔχειν ἐν ἐπιγνώσει, παρέδωκεν αὐτοὺς ὁ Θεὸς εἰς ἀδόκιμον νοῦν, ποιεῖν τὰ μὴ καθήκοντα,
ἐδοκίμασαν-they did seem fit

בעבור זאת נתנם האלהים לתאות בושה כי נשיהם החליפו את התשמיש כדרכן בשלא כדרכן׃
27 וכן גם הזכרים עזבו את תשמיש האשה כדרכה ויחמו זה בזה בתשוקתם ויעשו תועבה זכר עם זכר ויקחו שכר משובתם הראוי להם בעצם גופם׃
וכאשר מאסו להשיג האלהים בדעת נתנם האלהים בידי דעה נמאסה לעשות את אשר לא יתכן׃

To the Christian teens server:
As the owner of this server, I do not wish to see those here stray. I’ve seen this first hand with many other topics including Islam and false denominations.
So as God as my witness, I plea that each of you take this to heart and truly study to show yourself approved (2 Timothy 2:15).
To those who see this post:
Study and reflect the truth of this, and the truth will set you free (John 8:32). Do not look through the eyes of man, but of heavens.
