At one point in history, literal interpretations of the Bible were all the world had. At that time, it was acceptable to stone someone and condemn homosexuals. As the intellectual side of humanity developed, it stopped reading the Bible in a strictly literal interpretation. Society no longer stones people to death, but it still condemns those who speak out as gay. If Christians are willing to ignore some biblical teachings, they should not denounce others. Christians today should not condemn homosexuality. To begin, Christians must ask why homosexuality was condemned in the first place. The writers of the Bible were mostly Jews or Jewish converts. “In Jewish thought, homosexual activity was considered a gentile problem. The main historical writings that condemn homosexuals come from Jewish authors. These authors did not know that (1) sexual orientation existed and (2) only knew that same-sex relationships were abusive. People today should know that sexual orientation is a real thing and not all same-sex relationships are abusive. Identifying as gay is also not a way to worship idols as was originally believed. Laws change as society evolves. More and more information about same-sex partnerships is constantly emerging, so the laws that oppress these people must change over time. There was a time when women were considered completely inferior to men, this idea has also evolved and women now have their place in society. Finally, there is no precise interpretation of the Bible. There are as many interpretations of the Bible as there are people on earth, plus a million. Then adding other historical documents regarding homosexuality results in endless beliefs about the ethics of homosexuality. The Bible itself is unclear on its definition of homosexuality, so Christians cannot use it as a source of definition. Homosexuals should not be condemned based on ancient myths or for any other reason.
