    The Bible is quite clear about what is sin and what is not.
    The Bible is also clear that women should not have braided hairstyles, wear gold or pearls,
    or expensive clothing. And that a woman should not teach or have authority over a man.

    Are these things sin, too? Or are you going to reinterpret them so that they don't have these
    literal meanings anymore?

    You really couldn't be more wrong. I bet you don't think that animals masturbate either.

    prittybeta would call you a sinner. of course a woman should not teach, it says so in the bible. in fact i am quite sure that she thinks that if a woman would have the cure for cancer, she should hold it for herself if her husband tolds her to shut up

    not sure what joseph would say but beta would surely not attempt any reinterpretation. she is absolutely sure that if her husband is to bury all their savings under a rock and leave her children to starve she should do nothing because material things are irrelevant to the salvation of the soul. but if her husband should ever dare to propose a threesome(😉) involving her, him and some other woman she is to disobey him.

    two chimps giving each other blowjobs. explain that mister "farmer man who understands zoology because he lives in a farm". explain what is the hidden meaning behind what you say has absolutely nothing homosexual about it.

    (well to a degree you are right, it isn't homosexual it is chimpsexual, the chimps are not human, but you get the point i hope)

    'Homo' just mean 'the same', as 'hetero' means 'the other'.
    So chimps can actually be homosexual, meaning, sexually attracted to the same sex.
    But what's the name of a chimp being sexually attracted to a human? "Zoophile"? or "Homophile"?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo_%28genus%29

    The word homo is Latin for "man", in the original sense of "human being", or "person". The word "human" itself is from Latin humanus, an adjective cognate to homo, both derived from Proto-Indo-European language dhǵhem- "earth"[1]. Cf. Hebrew adam, meaning "human", cognate to adamah, meaning "ground". (And cf. Latin humus, meaning "soil".)

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosexuality
    Etymologically, the word homosexual is a Greek and Latin hybrid with homos (often confused with the later Latin meaning of "man", as in Homo sapiens) deriving from the Greek word for same, thus connoting sexual acts and affections between members of the same sex, including lesbianism.[13][14]

    yes, you are right, a chimp can be homosexual. if it is attracted to a human you can call it homophile if you mention you mean homo latin not homos greek 😀 zoophile is human who is atttracted to a chimp or other critters.

    No, 'homo' means 'the same'. As a species you interprete homo as 'the same species as you and me', i.e. man, as you and me, not human per se.

    See other constructions with 'homo', like homomorph, homologue, homogenous, homocentric, etc. Nothing to do with 'man'.
    Do the same with 'hetero' and you will see the congruence.

    The homophile chimp, was a joke, sorry...

    My question didn't assume it was easy to define. My question was did the poster take a position that sexual perversion did not exist.

    Aside from the difficulty of defining specifics, does "all sexuality" mean sexual perversion (difficult or easy to define from culture to culture) not exist?

    One, two, or more adult persons, all agreeing of what they do, not harming eachother, engaged in sexual activities, can't be wrong.

    Sex with people (or others) not wanting to be a part of it, is always wrong.

    God created sex. Sex cannot be a sin. Denying gods intention may be a sin though.

    So in these few Levitical instructions you believe that God was wrong and needed to get further clarification from you?

    Let's assume your mutual consent scenario.

    1.) " You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother's sister, for she is your mother's flesh." (Lev. 18:13)


    Would you say regardless of this relationship sex between two consenting parties was not wrong?

    2.) "You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law; she is your son's wife; you shall not uncover her nakedness." (Lev.18:15)

    Mutual consent makes this an error on God's part?

    3.) "You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a woman; it is an abomination." (Lev. 18:22)

    Did God need some correction here if mutual consent was involved with "no harm"?

    4.) " The nakedness of your father, that is the nakedness of your mother, you shall not uncover, She is your mother; you shall not uncover her nakesness." (Lev. 18:7)

    Did God need some adjustment here ethically if mutual consent was involved with "no harm"?

    5.) "And you shall not take a woman as wife in addition to her sister, as a rival to uncover her nakedness while she is alive." (Lev. 18:18)

    Would group consent here nullify the wrongness assigned to this situation?

    Is it just me or does that passage say that incest is OK as long as you keep your clothes on?

    I personally say that there are a host of perfectly good logical reasons for incest to be both immoral and illegal. I don't need a god or the bible for this to be so.

    EDIT:
    5.) "And you shall not take a woman as wife in addition to her sister, as a rival to uncover her nakedness while she is alive." (Lev. 18:18)

    This one however (between consenting adults) I have no issue with.

    7 Then Nathan said to David, “You are the man! Thus says the LORD God of Israel: ‘I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you from the hand of Saul. 8 I gave you your master’s house and your master’s wives into your keeping, and gave you the house of Israel and Judah. And if that had been too little, I also would have given you much more!
    Let's assume this lack of consent scenario. Did God need some ethical adjustment for taking men's wives and giving them all to the same guy? Could this qualify as deliberate "harm"? Would Godly consent here nullify the wrongness assigned to this situation? 🙄

    So you don't have any own opinion, you have to quote some authority text?
