The Truth: Innate Biological Born Same Sex Attraction.

A message to the counterfeit, the bigot, the ignorant, and the curious.

The Bible does not condemn biologically born same-sex attraction, and to claim otherwise is to lean on one of the most egregiously, negligently, willfully, and purposefully mistranslated pieces of literature ever created—the English Bible—rendered in one of the most impoverished languages known to exist, a tongue too thin to carry the depth of Hebrew and Greek.

In Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13 the Hebrew does not simply say, “if a man lies with another man,” but rather if an Ish—a man of power, covenantal responsibility, and societal authority such as a father, head of household, ish tzava (military officer), ish memshal (government statesman), ish kehunah (priest), ish sod (trusted advisor), ish mishpat (judge), ish chayil (warrior of valor), ish Elohim (man of God), or ish asakim (businessman)—lies with a Zakar (זָכָר)—a biological male without status or authority, often a son, servant, or subordinate, one whose very descriptor marks vulnerability and lack of autonomy—it is an abomination, and both shall be put to death. The contrast is deliberate: Ish is the man of power who initiates; Zakar is the powerless recipient. This text, read in its true language, unveils not a blanket prohibition of same-sex love or orientation, but a condemnation of coercion, exploitation, and the violation of household covenantal order. The so-called abomination is not the existence of those born with same-sex attraction, but the abuse of power where a man of standing imposes himself on one without it. For centuries, mistranslation has shackled millions in false condemnation, but the liberation of truth declares that those whose hearts and desires were formed in them at birth are not abominations to God; their very existence is not cursed but belongs to the divine image, freed from the weight of distorted words and restored to dignity in the eyes of the One who made them.

If we are to be honest about the New Testament as well, then we must confront the fact that the word “homosexual” was never in Scripture, nor was it inspired by the Holy Spirit—it was a human invention first coined in 1868, centuries after Paul, and only forced into Bible translations against the clear command of God not to add to or change His Word. When Paul wrote, he did not use “homosexual,” but chose two rare Greek terms: malakoi and arsenokoitai. The rarity of these words itself demands caution, and their true meaning has been obscured by translators with an agenda. Malakoi in Greek literally means “soft,” and Yehoshua Himself used the word in Matthew 11:8 to describe soft clothing, not sexuality, which shows its meaning is far broader than what later interpreters forced upon it. Arsenokoitai is even rarer, a compound word drawn from Levitical language, which, as we have already seen, speaks not of mutual same-sex attraction but of coercive acts where an ish (man of power) exploits a zakar (a powerless male). If Paul is indeed echoing Leviticus, from the Greek translation of the Septuagint, which itself didn’t capture the full nuance of ish and zakar, then by the logic of the Hebrew itself he is condemning exploitative and abusive dynamics of power, not the natural, biological reality of same-sex attraction. To take these rare Greek words and replace them with the modern political category of “homosexual” is not only a mistranslation, but a distortion of God’s intent, turning what was meant to restrain exploitation into a weapon against the innocent. It is simple math: the text itself does not condemn the very existence of those born with same-sex attraction, and to say otherwise is to accuse God of error when He formed them in His image.

The reality is this—people are dependent on these mistranslated verses to condemn same-sex attraction. It fuels their bigotry, it gives them a counterfeit foundation to stand on, and if they were to realize that God does not condemn innate, biological, born same-sex attraction, it would crush them. It would ruin their day because their identity, their pride, their religion, and their hatred are built upon a lie. The Scriptures make clear what the real abomination is: not love, not attraction, but contradiction—claiming the name of God while walking in lawlessness. “Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness” (1 John 3:4). “You believe that God is one. You do well; the demons also believe, and shudder” (James 2:19). “If someone says, ‘I love God,’ and hates his brother, he is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen” (1 John 4:20). “The one who does not love does not know God, because God is love” (1 John 4:8). To despise your neighbor while claiming salvation is hypocrisy, and hypocrisy is abomination (Proverbs 6:16–19). You cannot house hatred, racism, misogyny, bigotry, and prejudice in your heart and simultaneously claim to be filled with the Spirit of God, because “What harmony has Christ with Belial?” (2 Corinthians 6:15). The contradiction itself is the abomination. These individuals are not saved. They are Hellbound. Period. God does not live in them, God does not know them, and on that day He will say, “I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness” (Matthew 7:23). This is not about a name—it is about covenant, about keeping the commandments of Yehoshua, about fulfilling the royal law to “love your neighbor as yourself” (Leviticus 19:18; Matthew 22:39) and to “love one another, just as I have loved you” (John 13:34). Loving your neighbor means caring for them as you care for yourself, establishing boundaries, honoring life, and refusing exploitation. Loving one another as God has loved us does not mean embracing evil—it means mirroring divine love in truth, righteousness, and covenant. You do not have to connect with or embrace those who walk in hatred, bigotry, prejudice, misogyny, and racism. To value life is to acknowledge its sacredness; to distort scripture as a scaffold for counterfeit faith is to weaponize God’s Word against His own creation. That is the abomination, and that is the lawlessness which ensures God will not recognize them.
