@bannedChristian@Dillisyp Imagine sitting here making an argument about the “perfect” word of God and having having to debate which translation is the best. Don’t you think like an omnipotent being would’ve just made it clear? This is also funny.
@Dillisyp@bannedChristian The funny thing about all this is everyone’s missing the fact that the context that comes right before this is how the world’s gonna end really soon so if you can’t hack celibacy, feel free to get married.
@RobSteele3@God_Questioner I will say this about Satan, it’s interesting watching the title go from a position to a person throughout the Bible as Greek mythology got popularized.
Nothing to do with pedophilia. Paul thought the world was ending and that everyone SHOULD remain unmarried and celibate.
Does not mention children
Does not define an age of consent.
Does not discuss adult sexual attraction to children.
Does not prohibit marriage before “the prime of youth
@_ObjectiveTruth@yoko_kevin Only one of the three did (Dionysius) and he was talking about someone specific. No church Fathers did, which is why I’m assuming you didn’t mention any of them.
@fc_arsene@yoko_kevin Yeah, because overpower and seize clearly means consensual. Go seize a woman and see if she feels it’s consensual. Honestly, what the fuck is wrong with Christians that they just can’t say yeah that’s weird.
@_ObjectiveTruth@yoko_kevin This is the equivalent of me making the statement Effeminate men shall not inherit the kingdom of heaven, and those who have sex with effeminite men shall not inherit the kingdom of heaven. But I really mean boys and pedophiles. That would make no sense.
Like I said before that doesn’t mean young boy. Your first mistake was using a shitty lexicon. Aside from that, Greek in Paul’s time had actual words for young boys (pais) and also pedophiles (paiderastēs). Why didn’t Paul use those words? Because that’s not what he’s talking about. Paidophthoreō means seducer and corrupter of young boys. If you wanted to get the pedophile point across, he had a whole host of words he could have used. He wouldn’t have used one that means something completely different.
Ἢ οὐκ οἴδατε ὅτι ἄδικοι θεοῦ βασιλείαν οὐ κληρονομήσουσιν; μὴ πλανᾶσθε· οὔτε πόρνοι, οὔτε εἰδωλολάτραι, οὔτε μοιχοί, οὔτε μαλακοί, οὔτε ἀρσενοκοῖται.
The exact Greek from Papyrus 46. Do you see malakos in there? Me neither. Let me and the world know when you find an earlier copy of this verse.
