IF A MAN ALSO LIETH WITH MANKIND,
AS HE LIETH WITH A WOMAN,
BOTH OF THEM HAVE COMMITTED ABOMINATION.
- KING JAMES VERSION (KJV)
The Hebrew text and the King James say that a man who
lies with a woman (that is, a heterosexual man) commits abomination if he (that heterosexual man) ALSO
lies with a man. Notice that even if you removed the word ALSO, as Leviticus 18 does, it still makes the exact same statement.
It says nothing of a homosexual person whatsoever. The act described in this verse is a "bisexual" act (i.e. heterosexual
fornication with the same gender) - not a homosexual one. But witness now the blasphemous alteration of the Word of God by
the biased and bigoted editors and translators of the modern new age "bible" versions. Watch the key words "also"
and "he" totally disappear, watch "homosexual" inserted into the verse, and watch the injection of biased human emotion with
the words "detestable", "disgusting", "abhorant", "hateful sin", "very sinful", "put to death just as they deserve", "must
be put to death", "the penalty is death", and "capitol offense". These "bible" versions are intentionally trying to turn Believers
into hate filled, condemning murderers.
**NOTE: This bible version comparison is NOT suggesting or intimating that we do
not have God's perfect inherent Word with us today. To the contrary, it is to prove that the KJV is
the Word of God in English and that all others are blatant satanic frauds. There is no such thing as a Christian who
does not believe in the inherent Word of God, for there is no salvation outside the Scriptures.**
