The chapter begins with a variety of admonitions by the apostle Paul, such loving each ...
Destruction of the sinful cities. Johannes Jakob Hartmann. Webster's Dictionary defines sodomy as having sex (either orally, through the anus, etc.) with a person of the same gender (e.g. homosexuality and lesbianism) or with any kind of animal (bestiality).

New Testament Usage. In the New Testament, the Greek word translated Amen (Strong's #G281) means the same thing as its Old Testament counterpart.

Its first occurrence is found at the end of what is called the ...
The fourth of the four horsemen of the apocalypse rides a horse that many Bibles state is pale. Its color, however, is more likely pale green or greenish. The Greek word from which the translations derive "pale" is chloros (Strong's #G5515) which clearly refers to green (Mark 6:39, Revelation 8:7, 9:4). The rider of this horse is Death, the ...
In the New Testament, eunuch is derived from a Greek word that means someone castrated and impotent (Strong's #G2135). If castration of a male occurs before the age of puberty or the gonads are injured, he will most likely not be able to have children or be able to perform sexually. A man without his ability to procreate can be trusted to guard ...
