Leviticus 18:22 DOES NOT condemn homosexuality!

[chair]

lol Homosexuality wasn't condemned by the ancient Hebrew culture. What was condemned was homosexual shrine prostitution which is prostitution done in worship of foreign gods. That's what went on at the time. Later on, more modern Christians changed the original meaning because of their homophobia.

Where did you get the idea that this is referring to "shrine prostitution" from?

So there were gay relationships in the old testament. Can you show us any?

There's no solid proof of gay relationships in the Old Testament, but it's hinted David had a gay relationship with Johnathan. David basically said he loved Johnathan more than he loved women. When Johnathan stripped in front of David (1 Sam. 18:3-4), he probably got naked. Undergarments didn't exist in that time period.

Because idol worshipers of the time would have homosexual relations in worship of other gods via. prostitution. Like the Canaanites with the god Molech. It fit the historical context of Leviticus considering how Leviticus was addressing ritual purity.
