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.
Esther's Eunuchs
PICTURES OF EUNUCHS:
Esther finds a little one crying. The eunuch asks: "What is this commotion?" Esther asks the eunuch if she (the little one) could only be with her sister. Esther further states: "An easy remedy by a man of authority here." The eunuch replies, "Men, you won’t find any men here."
Note: Gay men are also called "women" and “females” in the Aramaic language. They aren’t always considered being a man because they aren’t attracted to women.

Esther and some other women are watching this eunuch perform the proper etiquette of a queen before the king.
