I have just gone through many versions of bibles and researched this word thoroughly; And from my research I can only deduce that there was as place called Sodom. In Sodom there were 'sodomites'. Sodomites from my deduction were
men who had wives who wove tapestries of Asherah. So thus, sodomites were people/culture who worshiped Yaweh and Asherah. All references I have found speak of pushing the 'sodomites' out of the area. Destroying their idols. Sodomy could thus then be deduced to, the act of worshiping and practicing the cultural lifestyle of those who'
s culture was one of those who believed in the
old god Yaweh and his wife Asherah.
My thought on this is that sodomites were possibly a tribal like people who created
idol's of Yaweh and their gods which they believed in. It speaks of the women creating 'tents'. The
books honestly speak of how all the 'sodomites' being driven from the lands, and their idols being destroyed. Getting rid of in one way or another the culture of people who believed in "Yaweh" and "Asherah". Sounds like it was a religous
war, which resulted in the destruction of a people.
It's completely
ridiculous to think that 'sodomy' (The practice of worshiping Yaweh & Asherah, -or- those who practice cultural beliefs of 'sodomites'.) means '
anal sex' -or- 'gay sex'. Look it up yourself.
'Sodomy' isn't
even a word mentioned in the
Old King James -or-
Darby's translation (which is a translation of the original)
Christians persecuted the sodomites, destroyed their lives, demolished the idols they
built and were dead-set on not allowing any other religions to be practiced. Anyone who practiced sodomy were either
killed or driven from the lands along with their wives; As they were NOT going to allow those who
believe in "Yaweh" -and- "Asherah" live in their domain.
