#18: Arsenokoitai


The Greek word in 1 Corinthians 6:9 is arsenokoitai. Some will try to say that this doesn't mean homosexual.

There's nothing else it can mean.

Look at the word,

Arsen - which means man. Plain clear.
Koite - bed (the marriage bed in particular) and sexual intercourse

arsenokoitai means a man who engages in man-sex.

So that Bauer's lexicon reads, "a male who practices homosexuality, pederast, sodomite."

The person who practices homosexual activity has no place in the kingdom of heaven.
