Absolutely right. I am proud to be a practising Christian but have little time for Bible fundamentalists.

The New Testament was mainly written many years after Christ and is subject to the failings of human memory. It is the work of humans and therefore prone to error both in the writing and the interpretation of it.

The errors include mistakes in translation. It was originally written in Hebrew and Aramaic, then translated into Greek and only about 1,400 years after Christ was it translated into Medieval English. Even after that it has been updated many times.

I wonder what Bible fundamentalists make of the so-called Adulters Bible? An error was made in printing it and as a result the sixth commandment reads, “Thou shalt commit adultery”. 😊

The Bible should be read and interpreted with reason and common sense. I have no doubt but that God loves us all, including members of the LGBGT+ community.
So he loves Hitler, wars, famine and cancer? Sounds like a bit of a c**t tbf.

“Maybe the UK isn’t the place for them” is massively hypocritical.

Neither Morsy or Guehi or McLean or whoever is next to ‘step out of line’, is forcing their beliefs on anyone. It’s very much closer to the other way round. As has been said by the sensible, there are so many better ways to promote it that doesn’t include empty gestures by players. Kit on, play, kit off, go home. That’s all it needs to be.

Correction - the New Testament was originally written in Greek, the Koine Greek version from the first century.
There may have been fragments that were translations from Aramaic or Hebrew but this is disputed by scholars.

Come on mate. Douglas Murray is a pretty well known person who many would regard as 'far right', and he is gay. He writes a lot and very well about the threat of Islam to his way of life.

I don't think people with right leaning views are pretending to care about LGBT rights in general either.
Sure thing. It’s not like the next far right US President spent tens of millions of dollars to run adverts on trans athletes…

It’s hardly hypocritical ffs they’re bigots hiding behind their religion and I’m not going to apologise for saying that either.

The beauty of the modern day. Despite what many seem to think, you don’t have to apologise for your view, fuck them if they expect it.

The languages mainly spoken by the persons depicted in the New Testament (apart from the Romans) were Aramaic and Hebrew.

Their words were then translated into Greek before, after 1,400 years, being translated into Medieval English. Over time it was translated into the St James Bible and subsequently into more modern versions.

The fact is that, as the words have been translated many times, there is plenty of scope for error and for people to come to different interpretations depending upon which version they read. This was my point.

I find the breadth of the discussions that we have on SBT to be quite amazing and part of the joy of it.

No. You're upset about the US election and you're projecting on everything.

I like you a lot Brighton, but since Trump won you've let it get the better of you.
Not particularly, it's relevant in response to the idea that right wing politics doesn't touch LGBT issues when it was a major feature of a presidential campaign this year.
