It's really interesting that Paul teaches Torah , and if he does that, well we can assume that that particular law is probably good , wholesome and expedient for a believer to adhere to.
So adherence to this commandment is subject to whether one believes they are "under the law" ?
Lev 20:13 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.
While Paul clearly teaches that such behavior
is judgment because God has given those that turned away from the love of the truth over to a depraved mind. He's condemning them firsts for turning from the truth in the first place. And then they are given over to their lust as , judgement for not obeying God in the first place!
Rom 1:18 For the
wrath of God is revealed from heaven against
all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men,
who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
This wrath comes to those.... who hold the truth in unrighteousness.
Hold is :
Strong's G2722 -
katechō
1) to hold back, detain, retain
a) from going away
b) to restrain, hinder (the course or progress of)
They have a bible or a Torah with teachings and instructions telling them not to do these things , but they do it anyway. That is holding the truth back , they are not progressing .
The word says not to make idols , but they do it any way ... they are not advancing in the cause of righteousness. They are retarding it , and even going backwards, or back sliding.
So Paul clearly condemns this outright evil and reprehensible behavior , as my point was that this was about Men misusing "their" women , as well as men and men ... doing that which is unseemly.
That is what the Greek suggest , this is not about women and women it's about men misappropriating the natural use of the woman.
And I don't believe that includes other less intrusive options.. go read Song of Solomon for ideas on that ...
The reaction .. of those who don't want to obey the instructions of righteousness ,
just because God said to , but rather try to find some medical or logical reason why they should. Sounds to me like a snotty brat kid who has no respect whatsoever for their parents. And in this case OUR CREATOR. And continually ask " WHY'?"
The fact that one would , adhere to Paul's admonition and reject Torah is beyond me.
Especially when Paul said
2Ti 3:16 All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof,
for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
You want to know how to be righteous ? Go read the scriptures!
The steps of Abraham were first to believe God, and then to obey HIM. Belief alone will not complete our journey.
