That idiotic BS about King David and Jonathan was shot down several times on other threads as pure non sense.In Judaic beliefs, you guys DO realize that King David and Jonathan had a FORMALLY RECOGNIZED same sex union?
Yet you keep posting is as though it was true.
What do you care? You're a Muslim!
Oh.........and for the record...........
Men in the Middle East greet each other with a kiss on the cheek much like the French people do.David and Jonathan
There is an extensive and very sympathetic description of a same-sex relationship in the Bible, the story of David and Jonathan, e.g.: 1 Samuel 18:1-5, 1 Samuel 19:1-7, 1 Samuel 20:30-42, 2 Samuel 1:25-6. While their bond is described as non-sexual, it is difficult to characterize it as purely one of friendship.
Jonathan was the son of Saul, David's nemesis. Their souls are described as 'knit together'. David and Jonathan 'made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.' The word convenant is significant, because in the Tanach this word always implies a formal legal agreement. To mark this convenant, Jonathan literally gives David the clothes off of his back, as well as other gifts such as weapons.
Later in the narrative, Jonathan successfully intercedes with Saul to spare David's life. At their last meeing, 1 Samuel 20:41, they are described as kissing one another and weeping together. David's grief at Jonathan's death is profound and moving. In Davids lament for Jonathan he describes their friendship as '(sur)passing the love of women'. This elegy, 2 Samuel 1:18-27. known as 'the Bow,' is one of the most beloved passages in the Hebrew Bible.
That is just cultural and has nothing to do with being a queer.
The Bible DOES NOT say that King David and Jonathan were swapping spit or locking lips.
The faggot agenda wants to try to say they were fudge packers.
Which is one of the stupidest things I have ever heard.
