Liberal Bible research and homosexuality

 

Many liberal Bible scholars don't believe that homosexuality is a sin. In the matter of fact, they don't believe the Bible at all in many important issues. In many issues, they distort the truth of the Bible. Raija Sollamo is a Finnish Bible scholar who has studied the cultural history of the Bible. Sollamo has said that the present-day homosexuality cannot estimate thousands years old culture. Sollamo thinks that teaching of the apostle Paul based on unrestrained liberalism of the Roman Empire. Sollamo says that Paul wrote heterosexuals, which were practiced lustfully homosexuality. Sollamo has emphasized that the manners of the time of Paul have nothing to do with the present-day. Sollamo has said that apostle Paul didn't know the present-day homosexuality, because the science of today knows that homosexuality is congenital, where homosexuals have responsible behavior.

Sollamo has said that being absolutely right is dangerous and is closely a relation to fanaticism.  According to Sollamo, the Bible is not the sufficient tool. She meant that the Bible can't determine homosexuality. Sollamo has said that the Old Testament knew homosexuality as sexually defamation, violence act and raping of conquered nations. She said that this kind of phenomenon homosexuality was condemned and passed a death sentence. Sollamo has said: As said in the language of the religion, God has created homosexuals and heterosexuals; Can you interfere in the results of God's creation?

Sollamo's interpretations are totally non-biblical, because the Old Testament and the New Testament condemn homosexuality as a sin and an abomination before God.

When we read Sollamo's text, we can see clearly that she thinks that she is absolutely right about homosexuality, and that it is not a sin. She takes a position in the same category, in which she accuses people about fanaticism. In the matter of fact, the question is that God is only one who is right, because He has written the Bible by people, which He has chosen. Jesus' disciple who is full of love of God doesn't think that I'm right, but that God is right and He expresses His will in His Word.

The word of God in the Old and New Testament bring forth very clearly that homosexuality is a sin and against the will of God.

God has created men and women and enacted practicing of sex between man and woman in a permanent relationship (marriage). God condemns homosexuality as a sin.

Sollamo has stepped and settled in a very dangerous place, because she distorts the word of God and replaces it by her own twisted "truth".

Ro 1:
24 for this cause, god gave them up to the filthy lusts of their heart, to dishonor their bodies with them.
25 and they changed the truth of god into a lie; and worshipped and served the created things, much more than the Creator of them, to whom belong glory and blessing, for ever and ever: Amen.
26 for this cause, god gave them up to vile passions: for their females changed the use of their natures, and employed that which is unnatural.
27 and so also their males forsook the use of females, which is natural, and burned with lust toward one another; and, male with male, they did what is shameful, and received in themselves the just recompense of their error.
28 and as they did not determine with themselves to know god, god gave them over to a vain mind; that they might do what they ought not,

The Bible cancels Sollamo's thoughts about homosexuality. The Bible very clearly says that homosexuality is a sin and against the will of God and not congenital identity.
