The holiness codeīecause this section, between chapters 17 and 26, is often called the holiness code because of the emphasis throughout it on holiness, on being holy, on being pure. First of all though, some general points about this section of Leviticus. To understand these verses, we need to know a little bit about the background to them. If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination they shall be put to death their blood is upon them. You shall not lie with a male as with a woman it is an abomination.Īnd the second one is similar. First of all Leviticus 18:22, which says: There are two verses from Leviticus that figure in the debates over the Bible and homosexuality. You’ve heard this? Keep watching to find out why I disagree. The book of Leviticus in the Bible says that homosexuality is an abomination, and so it can’t possibly be right for Christians. It makes no more sense to condemn Christians who are gay as practising abomination than it does Christians who sport tattoos, wear mixed fibres, or eat ham and cheese sandwiches.
It is not a rule book to be followed, because the Law’s time has come to an end, fulfilled in the single command to love. It then goes on to how Christians use Leviticus generally. The video first explains the context in which Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13 were written: male temple prostitutes for pagan goddesses and pederasty. This video explains why Christians should not consider homosexuality an abomination because of Leviticus.
