Church stance on gay marriage "for good of society", says Bishop Michael Nazi

[kılıç_mehmet]

Does it? If it does, what does it say in the verse that I've posted?

But I don't know what relevance it poses. Church doctrine is not written by me or you. If a church decides to make homosexuality sinful, they can simply quote the verse in the old testament, and it would still prove true.

I really don't understand what relevance German and Turkish translations pose. The Bible was written in Hebrew, Greek and parts in I think Aramaic. Anything else is a translation.

Saying that they are the same in translations in other languages. Besides, as I said, they have the same view on homosexuality in other abrahamic religions.

And yeah, from what I've read, cultic prostitution was happening back then. It died out by the time you get to NT days though.

It did.

And if you're right that it was pedestry (I've heard this from some of the authors I'm trying to get you read in fact) it does not follow that the Bible condemns homosexuality between two adults.

Well, the bible could not condemn homosexual acts between two adults, because I could state that such acts were unknown to the people of the time. This also ringed true for homosexuality in feudal japan, and ancient greece.
Christians could state that this could apply to homosexual relationships of today, as it doesn't really matter if one of the participants is of young age-it's still a male, and sex is still homosexual.
