IS THE BIBLE AGAINST HOMOSEXUALITY?
A scholarly response on what the Hebrew and Aramaic Bible says concerning LGBTI people.
Desktop View: Clicking the aqua colored references should direct you to a different website for the Bible quotation. You can close the pop up window afterwards to return to my website. I generally only linked the Deuterocanonical references where I didn't fully write out the verse.
Mobile or Tablet View: If you click on the Bible reference, just click on the back "button" on your Android phone or the back "arrow" on your Tablet to return to my website. (Sorry, I don't know what the button looks like on an iphone or ipad). Please download and add the Bible Scripture Tagger Chrome Extension. That way you can still see the Bible reference verses during any INTERVAL between when I republish my website with the updates and the re-adding of the Bible Reference Tagger later.

Website Brochure
I made a brochure that you can use for witnessing. You will need to buy the tri-fold brochure paper at Office Depot or somewhere else though. The Matte brochure type works best for non smearing. If you buy the Gloss brochure paper, then make sure you change your printer paper settings from plain paper to the top of the line photo paper of the respective printer manufacturer. This may eliminate any smearing of the words on the brochure.

Also, if any of you know how, and want to make a better brochure then let me know.
“…, then if they [the rulers (commanders) & judges] are acting foolishly [ܡܲܣܟܿܠܝ̣ܢ: offending], be ye reproving (showing to be wrong, convincing, rebuking) them justly, … & these shall be corrected (reformed, amended) that they should not again be being guided by the will of their souls.” (Addai 45:24-46:3 [78]). The Aramaic word masc-lin also means: "going astray, causing to fall; being offensive, injuring, doing wrong" or "sinning" (Roger Pearse Translation). Since we are in the computer or digital age, you can also do this easily by saving your rebukes and then copy and paste them to individuals, the President or members of Congress. You just may need to edit the message a little for each person or situation.
“Preach the message! And stand with diligence in the [right] time and when [it’s] not the [right] time. Reprove and rebuke with all patience (long-suffering) and teaching.” (2 Tim. 4:2 P’shitta). Compare (Lev. 19:17; 2 Chron. 19:10; Prov. 24:25). This is the same Aramaic word but in the imperative as: a-cis, which means: “Reprove (Correct, Show to be wrong, Convince). Also, sometimes God uses us even though (1 Chron. 16:21) technically says: “He didn’t put (leave) any man to oppress (wrong, defraud, extort) them; & He rebuked (ויוכח: reproved) kings for their sakes,” SILENCE = DEATH:

The Pink, Upside Down Triangle was used in Nazi Germany during World War II to indicate the reason a person was imprisoned. It indicated homosexual men, bisexual men and transgender women.
