Episode notes
Ancient vs. Modern Sexuality
- The Bible condemns specific acts, not orientations, as orientation was an unknown concept.
- Modern interpretations often impose current understandings of sexuality onto ancient texts.
Sodom and Gomorrah's Sin
- The story of Sodom and Gomorrah condemns violence and inhospitality, not homosexuality.
- Lot's offering of his daughters reflects ancient cultural values, not divine approval.
Sexuality as a Concept
- Ancient cultures lacked the modern concept of sexual orientation.
- They focused on acts, not inherent inclinations, making direct comparisons problematic.
