A very legitimate argument can be made that the New Testament phrases that purport to condemn homosexuality are, in fact, condemning the sins of pederasty and temple prostitution instead. The term "homosexual" as we have come to understand it in the modern era does not really have a corresponding word in the ancient Greek and Hebrew languages that the original manuscripts of the Bible were written in.</blockquote>
