yeah but its all dogma. Its what men wrote, not anywhere is this argument made with the word of god...
As I understand it: This whole idea is from Leviticus which is the Judean book of laws, which was created once Rome conquered Judea and the Jewish people needed a way to indentify themselves from the other citizen in the empire. BEing rightfully angry and a little against the empire one of the rules was "A man shall not lay down with another man as he would a woman." Thats the line everyone is using to validate this *** = anti-jesus sentiment. The reason that law was created is because the Romans condoned homosexuality within the military to promote on feild brotherhood. The Jews not wanting to join up with an imperialistic empire created this law to punish the romans.
I don't really know why history gets left out all the time. With things like 666 being the mark of the beast, why don't people get told that it was likely that that was aramaic (sp?) for Nero. I don't know, what do I know?
