In the Bible But not in the Quran (4): Kill the Gay!
Homosexuality can refer to sexual behavior between organisms of the same sex.
The word homosexual is a Greek and Latin hybrid from of the Greek prefix homo- ("same"), and the Latin root sex, thus connoting sexual acts and affections between members of the same sex, including lesbianism.
Gay refers to male homosexuality and Lesbian denotes female homosexuality. Gay and lesbian are the most common alternatives of homosexual.
In religious cultures, the law established sodomy as a transgression against divine law, a "crime against nature" and subject to severe penalties, including capital punishment—often inflicted by means of fire so as to purify the unholy action.
In the 1950s, at the height of the red scare in the United States, hundreds of federal and state employees were fired because of their homosexuality in the so-called lavender scare.
Homosexual acts are punishable by death in some present-day countries including Iran, Mauritania, Nigeria, Pakistan, Sudan, Yemen etc.
Reform Judaism, the largest branch of Judaism outside Israel has begun to facilitate religious weddings for gay adherents in their synagogues. Jewish Theological Seminary, considered to be the flagship institution of Conservative Judaism, decided in March 2007 to begin accepting gay and lesbian applicants, after scholars who guide the movement lifted the ban on gay ordination.
In 2005, the United Church of Christ became the largest Christian denomination in the United States to formally endorse same-sex marriage.

The Gay in the Bible:
Do not be a Gay, the LORD Commands:
In Leviticus 18:22, the LORD commands not to be a gay.
1- New International Version
"'Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable.
2- New American Standard Bible
You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination
3- King James Version
Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
4- The Message
"Don't have sex with a man as one does with a woman. That is abhorrent.
According to these four different versions of the Bible, to be a gay is detestable, abomination and abhorrent.
However, the sin of the gay is greater than that, that is why:
In Leviticus 20:13, the LORD commands to kill the gay! Look at these four different versions of the Bible:
1- New International Version
If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.
2- New American Standard Bible
If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their blood guiltiness is upon them.
3- King James Version
If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
4- The Message
"If a man has sex with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is abhorrent. They must be put to death; they are responsible for their own deaths.

The Gay in the Quran:
The Noble Quran considers the gay act as a big sin that deserves punishment in the afterlife.
But the Quran does not command to kill the Gay!
-----------------
What if the Quran was the Book which commands to kill the uncircumcised, to kill the one who curses his parents and or to kill the Gay? What the western media would have said? What names they have given the Quran in such case?

Back to the main issue of my series of articles; this is my question to you smart readers: "Is the Quran quoted from the Bible?"

Eighteen different Biblical versions give many varied and wrong translations when translating " foreign woman" and " the stranger who flatters with her words" In the entire Quran, the term "foreign woman" is not mentioned therein; all women are equal in respect to their rights and responsibilities regardless of race, color, location etc.

What are the “basics” of Christian living – the most foundational activities and disciplines that God wants in our lives? For a long time, I believed that Bible study and memorization, prayer, fasting and attending church were high on that list. But is that what the Bible teaches? Or is there more?
So will the world end on May 21, 2011 or in October 2011? This is at least the second (if not more) time that this Preacher has predicted a date for the World's End. He is the same Preacher who exclaims that the "Church Age" has ended. Ironically, he and his followers still hold church like meetings. Also, he and his ministry continue to solicit finances to expand their ministry.
Malcolm S Forbes said: Too many people overvalue what they are not and undervalue what they are. God’s character goes into the creation of every person. It is human nature to want to see how we measure up in comparison to others; especially if we think that they are better than us or have more of something we want.
What Paul calls the Way, they called a sect. The Way of Christ refers to the entire cultural structure of Christianity in its wholeness, its totality. The Way of Christ is a way of life, a lifestyle. Paul received from Christ a vision of Christian society or culture and it was that vision, that cultural practice, that way of life, that Paul was passing on to the Corinthians.
Adultery is violation of the marriage bed; it is the voluntary sexual intercourse between a married person and someone other than his or her lawful spouse. However, four Biblical Versions translate "foreign woman" to "adulteress", "woman who commits adultery" and "adulterous woman". The term "foreign woman" is not mentioned therein in the entire Quran.
Eighteen different Biblical versions give many varied and wrong translations when translating " foreign woman" and " the stranger who flatters with her words" In the entire Quran, the term "foreign woman" is not mentioned therein; all women are equal in respect to their rights and responsibilities regardless of race, color, location etc.
Pagan is an irreligious, uncultured, uncivilized or hedonistic person. Also, pagan is an unconverted individual of a people that do not acknowledge the God of the Bible. However, some Biblical versions translate "foreign woman" to "Pagan woman". In the entire Quran, the term "foreign woman" is not mentioned therein; all women are equal in respect to their rights and responsibilities regardless of race, color, location etc.
A Study of 18 different Biblical versions reveals that they could not translate this phrase correctly:" we had betrayed our God and we have taken strange women of the peoples of the land". On the other hand, the term "strange woman" is not mentioned therein in the whole Quran; all women are equal in respect to their rights and responsibilities.
How do the many Biblical versions translate "the peoples of the land" mentioned in the verse of Ezra 10:2; seven out of 18 Biblical versions translate it correctly, however, the strangest translation was in two Biblical versions that translate it to "pagan women of the land". According to the original Hebrew verse, "pagan women" is not the Word of God.
Only four out of 18 Biblical versions translate we have taken correctly; while 13 versions translate we have taken to we have married or by marrying (in six and seven versions respectively). One version translates it to "we settle". Literally, "we have taken" is quite different from "we have married".
In Hebrew, the word pronounced as "No-kh-re-yoat" is the plural of the English word "stranger". Also, the word pronounced as "Za-roat" is the plural of the English word "Foreign". Both "No-kh-re-yoat" and "Za-roat" are used in the Hebrew version when talking about the stranger women and the foreign women respectively.
Eighteen Biblical versions could not translate 12 simple Hebrew words correctly; also, in two Biblical versions "strange women" is translated to "pagan women". In the entire Quran, the term "strange woman" is not mentioned therein; all women are equal in respect to their rights and responsibilities regardless of race, color, location etc.
