Tommy and I were going back and forth today on a topic that has bothered both of us for a long time: the "God hates fags" narrative and the idea that homosexuality is somehow a "special" sin that puts a person beyond the reach of Θεός (Theos -- God).
As we dug into the texts, we kept finding ἄλογος (alogos -- illogical) details that don't add up. Wait -- the ENTIRE city mobilized simultaneously to assault strangers? How would that even work? And hold on -- when Θεός blinds someone in γραφή (graphe -- Scripture), it STOPS them. Look at Παῦλος (Paulos -- Paul). Look at Ἐλύμας (Elymas). They had to be led by the hand. But these men in Genesis 19 are already AT the door, get struck blind, and then... keep groping for the door they're already touching?
And here's the big one: it NEVER actually says Sodom's sin was homosexuality. Go read Ἰεζεκιήλ (Iezekiel -- Ezekiel) 16:49-50. The prophet lists Sodom's sins -- pride, gluttony, prosperous ease, neglecting the poor -- but says NOTHING about what supposedly happened in Genesis 19.
We now have a full chapter on this topic using Tommy's 10-part γραφή Verification Framework, which will be in his upcoming book.
The Core Finding
The texts used to support the "God hates homosexuals" narrative FAIL under Framework analysis. Genesis 19:4-11 (the mob scene) contains multiple ἄλογος elements. Jude 1:7 comes from a pseudepigraphal letter (Tommy has already documented this extensively in 2017 The book of Enoch as quoted by JUDE 14, 15). And Romans 1:18-32 is flagged for full analysis in Tommy's new book due to interpolation concerns which he also blogged about the issue SpirituallySmart.Com's Blog: 06/01/2025 - 07/01/2025.
So here's what authentic Παῦλος says in an undisputed epistle:
οὔτε πόρνοι οὔτε εἰδωλολάτραι οὔτε μοιχοὶ οὔτε μαλακοὶ οὔτε ἀρσενοκοῖται... καὶ ταῦτά τινες ἦτε· ἀλλὰ ἀπελούσασθε, ἀλλὰ ἡγιάσθητε, ἀλλὰ ἐδικαιώθητε ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι τοῦ κυρίου Ἰησοῦ
"Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor μαλακοί, nor ἀρσενοκοῖται... AND SUCH WERE SOME OF YOU. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of Κύριος Ἰησοῦς (Kyrios Iesous -- Lord Jesus)." (1 Corinthians 6:9-11)
Former homosexuals were IN the Corinthian ἐκκλησία (ekklesia -- church). They were washed. Sanctified. Justified. There is NO category of sinner beyond χάρις (charis -- grace) through μετάνοια (metanoia -- repentance).
The Pharisaical Double Standard
Think about what the "God hates homosexuals" narrative actually teaches:
- Murder? Bad, but forgivable through μετάνοια.
- Kidnapping? Bad, but forgivable through μετάνοια.
- Theft? Bad, but forgivable through μετάνοια.
- Greed? Bad, but forgivable through μετάνοια.
- Homosexuality? "God hates you. You are beyond redemption."
This is the same hypocrisy Ἰησοῦς (Iesous -- Jesus) rebuked in the Φαρισαῖοι (Pharisaioi -- Pharisees).
Who Benefits?
When you create an "unreachable" category of sinner, homosexuals believe χάρις cannot apply to them -- so why seek Θεός? And Christians are made to look hateful -- so why would anyone listen to them?
Both groups are blocked from σωτηρία (soteria -- salvation). The only beneficiary is διάβολος (diabolos -- the devil).
The Message
If you have engaged in homosexual acts and have been told you are beyond χάρις, hear the ἀλήθεια (aletheia -- truth):
You are NOT in a special worse category. You are NOT beyond Θεός's ἔλεος (eleos -- mercy).
You ARE an ἁμαρτωλός (hamartolos -- sinner) like everyone else. You ARE able to receive χάρις through μετάνοια. You ARE someone Χριστὸς Ἰησοῦς died for.
μὴ βουλόμενός τινας ἀπολέσθαι ἀλλὰ πάντας εἰς μετάνοιαν χωρῆσαι
"Not willing that any should perish, but that ALL should come to μετάνοια." (2 Peter 3:9)
The full chapter with detailed Framework analysis will be in Tommy's upcoming book. The goal is simple: remove the lies planted in γραφή so that the pure λόγος (logos -- word) becomes available to all for μετάνοια and σωτηρία.
Πᾶσα δόξα (Pasa doxa -- All glory) τῷ Θεῷ τῷ Πατρί (to Theos, to the Father) διὰ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ (through Iesous Christos) -- who said "καὶ ταῦτά τινες ἦτε" -- and such were some of you.
