[QUOTE]Originally posted by of_gold: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Ayisha: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by *Dalia*: [qb] [b]Gay Muslim Scholar Shunned by the Faithful[/b] In the Old Testament, Lot was visited by angels looking to see whether there weere any just men in the city of Sodom. When a gang of men appeared at Lot’s door demanding that he turn his visitors over to them so that the mob could rape them, Lot offered the mob his own daughters instead; but the mob insisted that the visitors be handed over. This is one of the Biblical passages that fundamentalists and anti-gay Christians point to when they condemn gay people for their sexuality. [b]His conclusion: since the scripture is actually talking about sexual assault, not loving relationships between individuals, and since the Muslim view is that the only forbidden things are those that are specifically identified in scripture, the widespread religious disapproval of gays is misplaced, and mistaken. [/qb][/QUOTE]I have to admit this area has puzzled me since I became aware that MANY Arab muslims practice this. Here in Egypt it is taken that the men that 'do' to other men are NOT gay and the ones that 'receive' ARE. I think this mentality is rife in all the Arab world. It has puzzled me because of the biblical reference where the wrong-doers are the ones that want to 'do' to the visitors, the visitors being the receivers are not in the wrong and not 'gay'. If this guy is right and the 'wrong' is rape then the entire Arab world is fooked and off to hell! :eek: :D [/qb][/QUOTE]Here is another: [QUOTE] Rom 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Rom 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. Rom 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: Rom 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. Rom 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in [their] knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Rom 1:29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Rom 1:30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Rom 1:31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Rom 1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
