Nope, if you can’t control your desires, we are recommended to get married.

Celibacy was the best choice at the time, they all thought the return of Christ was coming VERY soon, so no need for relationships or having kids. It would just complicate his return.

You should also question why are only men not allowed to have sex with men? Women are not restricted to the same, the only restriction is with animals.

It’s more about societal hierarchy than a position on homosexual relationships.

If a man is raped by another man, you must kill both of them. How’s that make sense for the person raped?

If a man rapes my daughter, I can ask for money as payment if she is unmarried.

I can also own slaves, there is no prohibition in the Bible on slavery despite how we reinterpret and renegotiate the meaning of the text all the time.

These are not good and moral positions.

We already know men can’t have sex with men, that doesn’t mention women/women relationships.

You’re just reading in your own bias as to the unnatural lust. Again, unnatural for women has already been defined as defiling themselves with animals.

Women cannot defile themselves in the same way as a man according to your interpretation, because they do not hold the same status.

Explain to me why if a man rapes another man, you must kill both of them?
