Greetings to All:
My goal in this post is to use the New American Standard Bible, Vine’s Expository Dictionary of NT Words, Holman’s Exhaustive Concordance and Webster’s Online Dictionary to prove that a true ‘homosexual’ has never been born. The whole ‘Gay Rights’ debate is argument over a myth.
Paul says,
The King James Bible and Vine’s Expository Dictionary of NT Words cannot help us in defining the Biblical Greek terms for the word Homosexual. That term simply does not appear in the Text. The Lockman Scholars did inaccurately translate one Greek word into ‘homosexual.’ The Greek word is “arsenokoites” (#733a). This word is created from the joining of two Greek words “arsen” (#730) meaning “a man,” and “koite” (#2845) meaning “a bed.” The literal translation here is a ‘bed man.’ The NASB says,
The three words in our study are: Heterosexual, Asexual and Homosexual which all have ‘sex’ as the root of the word. The source is Merriam-Webster Online:
Sex >> http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/sex
The first (1) definition defines female or male as these two individual forms. Therefore, by definition every person alive today is either female or male. The second (2) definition includes the specific characteristics of living things by their ability to reproduce. So parents reproduce either females or males of our species. Definition three (3a) pertains to the phenomena or behavior of ‘sex,’ as in “having sex.” This definition is restricted in its scope by definitions (1) and (2), where ‘sex’ is a behavioral characteristic involved in reproduction of the species. And (3b) is the ‘act’ of having ‘sex,’ again, about reproduction. The final (4) definition pertains to the sex organs; again, of the male and female of the species from the definitions above.
Heterosexual >> http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/heterosexual
This primitive definition of our prefix (heter) means ‘different,’ or ‘other.’ Add the suffix (ual) and we have a word that describes people of different sexes (male and female) according to their ability to reproduce. Thus Hetero-Sex-ual.
Asexual >> http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/asexual
Homosexual >> http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/homosexual
Right here is where the dictionary fails to hold to the rules of grammar. As defined above, the root ‘sex’ appears to signify a means of reproduction. The word homosexual here is void of such language. In fact, these words ‘sexual desire’ are wrongly used to describe this behavior. Homosexual activities do not involve reproductive processes. This word does not accurately define anyone according to their ‘sex.’ Homosexual is not an accurate scientific term that describes any living thing on this planet. The joining of two sperm cells or female eggs will never produce a ‘homosexual’ male or female. By definition it is impossible for two people of the same sex to have ‘sexual intercourse.’ Instead, every living person on this planet is either a heterosexual male, or a heterosexual female by definition. They can call themselves homosexual males and females in the same way that people call themselves all sorts of things. The problem is that being male and female places them solidly within the heterosexual group.
This point becomes plainly obvious, when we consider that ‘reproduction’ creates copies/duplicates of the male and female parents. Every single person born naturally on this planet is the product of one heterosexual male and one heterosexual female. Therefore, every person ever born is a duplicate/copy/facsimile of their heterosexual parents. Therefore, according to the definition of the terms, a true homosexual male or female has never been born.
In Christ Jesus,

The NKJV says,
Both of these translations are actually paraphrased attempts at interpreting the Greek for you, instead of being an actual literal translation. But, we can gain a proper understanding from both. The important thing to note is that they are describing people by their behavior. For the record, Paul kicks off his most widely read New Testament Epistle by talking about this behavior, saying,
Paul closes his discourse on this topic by saying,
Once again, the Apostle Paul is describing people by their behavior, and not by the means in which they were originally born into the world. In fact, when 'they exchanged the truth for a lie,' then God gave them over so that their women 'exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural.' And herein rests the key to unlock 'the truth' of this homosexuality matter. Holy Scripture gives us descriptions of people who have exchanged something natural for something unnatural. Let us go to Webster’s dictionary, as a neutral secular source, and work through a short word study on three related words. Then we can draw some conclusions from the true definition of those terms.
The three words in our study are: Heterosexual, Asexual and Homosexual which all have ‘sex’ as the root of the word. The source is Merriam-Webster Online:
Sex >> http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/sex
The first (1) definition defines female or male as these two individual forms. Therefore, by definition every person alive today is either female or male. The second (2) definition includes the specific characteristics of living things by their ability to reproduce. So parents reproduce either females or males of our species. Definition three (3a) pertains to the phenomena or behavior of ‘sex,’ as in “having sex.” This definition is restricted in its scope by definitions (1) and (2), where ‘sex’ is a behavioral characteristic involved in reproduction of the species. And (3b) is the ‘act’ of having ‘sex,’ again, about reproduction. The final (4) definition pertains to the sex organs; again, of the male and female of the species from the definitions above.
Heterosexual >> http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/heterosexual
This primitive definition of our prefix (heter) means ‘different,’ or ‘other.’ Add the suffix (ual) and we have a word that describes people of different sexes (male and female) according to their ability to reproduce. Thus Hetero-Sex-ual.
Asexual >> http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/asexual
Here again, the ‘sex’ part of the word causes the definition to include “reproducing by reproductive processes . . .” Both Heterosexual and Asexual organisms are defined by how they reproduce. That is the common trait of both words that contain the root ‘sex.’
Homosexual >> http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/homosexual
Right here is where the dictionary fails to hold to the rules of grammar. As defined above, the root ‘sex’ appears to signify a means of reproduction. The word homosexual here is void of such language. In fact, these words ‘sexual desire’ are wrongly used to describe this behavior. Homosexual activities do not involve reproductive processes.

There are no gays or gay sex? Nicely done. I do so love it when a man can wrangle semantic abstractions into a desired outcome so masterfully.
