Since the days when Moses penned the first book of the Bible people have
attributed to the text of the Scriptures something it doesn't say. When you have something
as powerful as the Word of God itself, people tend to play around with it a little, attempting to squeeze in their point of
view in hopes of making their views look like God's views. We've seen this happen throughout history, to the spiritual and
physical death and ruination of untold millions.
The most popular way that people have misused God's Word is by
misquoting it through adding, altering or deleting a letter or word, or by rephrasing a verse. Another way is by using
a modern Bible version whose text was already altered before it reached the bookstores.
Why do people alter God's Word? Because they want God to think like they do.
So instead of people reading the Bible and correcting their way of thinking by it, they chose instead to alter the Bible to
match their way of thinking.
Would you like to make an experiment and
test whether you are reading God's Word as He wrote it, or if you are reading what you want it to say? If so, it's very simple.
There are two statements below. After each statement you will be asked, by multiple choice, to define the statements.
First Statement:
If a man also writes with his
left hand,
as he writes with his right hand,
he has committed abomination.
Which of the following sentences
defines the statement above:
A: It is abomination for a right handed man
to also write with his left hand
OR
B: It is abomination to be left handed
After you are confident about your choice,
scroll down to the 2nd statement
Second Statement:
If a man also lie with mankind,
as he lieth with a woman,
he has committed abomination
(Leviticus 20:13)
Which of the following sentences
defines the statement above:
A: It is abomination for the man that lies
with a woman
(a heterosexual) to also lie with a man
OR
B: It is abomination to be homosexual
You may notice that both statements above are
identical, with only the subject being changed.
If you selected "A" for both statements,
congratulations! You are correct!
The wording of the first statement automatically
implies that the man in question is right handed and is being forbidden to also use his left hand; it says
nothing about left handed people. The wording of the second statement automatically implies that the man in question is a
heterosexual and is being forbidden to also lie with men; it says nothing about homosexual people.
The biblical law forbids heterosexuals - not
homosexuals - from mating with the same gender.
