The interpretive conflict regarding homosexuality and the Bible is a relatively recent phenomenon, between two fundamentally different positions and interpretive foundations. Historical/traditional scholarship evidences that the Bible contains laws which prohibit homosex (same gender sexual relations; also referred to as homoeroticism or homogenital relations), and which are as universal and immutable as laws against illicit heterosexual partners are shown to be (or even more so), as belonging in the same class. In addition, the necessary positive sanction of marriage, which is provided explicitly for opposite genders, is nowhere established for homosexual unions.

abstract
  • The interpretive conflict regarding homosexuality and the Bible is a relatively recent phenomenon, between two fundamentally different positions and interpretive foundations. Historical/traditional scholarship evidences that the Bible contains laws which prohibit homosex (same gender sexual relations; also referred to as homoeroticism or homogenital relations), and which are as universal and immutable as laws against illicit heterosexual partners are shown to be (or even more so), as belonging in the same class. In addition, the necessary positive sanction of marriage, which is provided explicitly for opposite genders, is nowhere established for homosexual unions. Pro-homosex polemicists have responded to this problem by asserting all the injunctions against homosex are culture or contextually bound and do not universally apply today, and or that the Bible is not inspired of God and provides no transcendent universal sexual ethic. In addition, advocates of homosex often propose or assert that homosexuality or perhaps same-sex marriage can be seen in many close relationships between heterosexual persons in the Bible. Those within the former camp see the attempts by pro-homosex polemicists as unwarranted, "revolutionary and revisionist", with homsexuality misinterpretations being a manifestation of the efforts made from the beginning (Gn. 3:1-5) to both negate what God has commanded in the Bible, as well as to otherwise drastically misconstrue Biblical meanings, sometimes by sophisticated forms of sophistry. Those within the latter camp often charge the former with ignorance, and or being motivated by homophobia This article deals with the phenomenon of pro-homosexual polemics in the light of traditional/historical Biblical exegesis, that of the explanation of a text, based upon proven principals of hermeneutics, or rules of interpretation.
