My Understanding Of Luke 17:34-36

If you look closely, you'll see three same-sex couples in these three verses, two gay couples and one lesbian couple.

And if the passage refers to the rapture, then three of the homosexuals are raptured, and three are not. This means that Jesus did not issue a blanket condemnation of gays and lesbians.

In fact, this "Same-Sex Triptych" is the climax of Luke's Gay Apocalypse, which is Luke 17:20-37.

So, whatever else Luke 17:34-36 teaches, it includes Jesus' acceptance of gay and lesbian couples as equal with heterosexual ones.

Comments: This has to be some kind of joke because I don't see anything in those verses about that.

My Understanding Of Luke 17:34-36 Revealed Bible The

Because two men share one bed does not make them gay. Men camp out together or share a tent or bed, and families share beds this does not make them gay. Two women grinding does not make them gay. Grinding here is a grinding of grain. And two men in a field does not make them gay. This passage has nothing to do with being gay. God does not change he condemned homosexuality in the Old Testament and also in the New Testament.

King James Bible-

If your in a gay lifestyle ask the Father God for help in Jesus name. God does not let us down if we are sincere in our heart.

It matters not where you go or to whom you talk with. Everyone of us can come up with a scripture that they can twist and bend to make it sound like it supports their view point. I know that in the end the scripture that we read and the prays we say will get us to the promised land.

Comments: If you take Luke 17:34 all by itself, that would not be enough evidence that establish that the two men are gay, although the only O.T. Passages that refer to two men laying together are in Exodus:

But the verse after "two men in one bed" says:

In the O.T. The word "grind" is used sexually at least three times. Those verses are Job 31:10, Lamentations 5:13, and Judges 16:21.

The word "grind" was also used sexually in the time of Christ.

So we don't have just one verse taken out of context, but two verses side-by-side.

Additionally, these two verses come right after a description of the destruction of Sodom, which most people believe is about man-on-man sex.

My Understanding Of Luke 17:34-36

The Hebrew Word For Grinding Is...ἀλήθω alēthō it is only used two places, it is also used in Mat_24:41 which clearly says at the mill. This has nothing to do with sex. It is also almost interchangeable with the hebrew word ἄλευρον aleuron which means meal.

Title: Luke 17:23-37

Comments: The greek word "grind" was used as a euphemism for sex by Plutarch in the first century, at the same time Luke wrote his gospel.

I call Luke 17:23-37 "Luke's Gay Apocalypse." Not only do you have two men in one bed and two women grinding together, but you also have the chief symbols of man-on-man sex from Jewish culture and Gentile culture: 1) the story of Sodom, and 2) the symbols of Zeus and Ganymede (lightning and eagles).

The main message of this passage: Gay and lesbian celibacy is a non-issue for God. In Luke's Gay Apocalypse, half the sexually active gays and lesbians are acceptable to God, and half are not.
