  • Women get a free pass!!! Lol, no since the Bible was written in a time when men were consider superior and women didn't have much standing, much of the language is geared towards men. Other translations state "those who practice sexuality" which would include women. And thinking through it, I just don't think any god would just give women a free pass. I found this to be helpful as well. Greek translation is tough: http://www.gotquestions.org/arsenokoitai.html

  • Men or Man in the Bible is often used in reference to Mankind in general and not just the gender

  • Ah. Did some more digging and it seems a fairly disputed section vis a vis the translation. Oh well. Just found the first hit odd, but you make a good point.
