3. <"You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination." Leviticus 18:22.
"If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death...." Leviticus 20:13>

"These passages are translated very differently, in various versions of the Bible. All translation is interpretation. The cultural biases of the translator inevitably creep into the translation."


Yes Bill, translation and context are very important to understanding the meaning. My Bible has wording which is quite different from the book of Leviticus presented above.

The Bible that Pat Robertson uses even includes the word homosexual, but that word was not used when the Bible was written, and it is his translation.
