So I assume by your response that you also believe the Bible is faulty and that
Romans 1:27
"And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet"
is a poor interpretation as well.
Therefore my response to this bit of shocking news that
"Bible passages condemning homosexuality are .... faulty translation and poor interpretation"
Is that some alleged scholars use statements such as this to advocate there own personal agendas.
Lastly, and in closing, I will leave you with this pearl of wisdom.
Opinions such as these are like rectums, everyone has one, some just smell worse than others.

Nobody knows whom - but the fact remains obvious that it happened !
I "assume" only that if a bunch of scholars from a broad cross section of academia suggest one thing - giving vast evidence of their research and reasoning,
and Shadow believes otherwise but produces no evidence whatever,
I'm inclined to go with the scholars and theologians.
BTW - A brief Google-session will reveal heaps and heaps of others with similar conclusions.
I know, I know. They are all dumb or led by Satan or part of some Grand Conspiracy
and the fundies are right. Of course.
