1 Corinthians 6:9

Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind...

The word effeminate here is translated from the Greek word malakoi which is traditionally translated in English as "effeminate." It may mean exactly that (unmanly or lacking virility), or it could also mean "soft." Paul was a Jewish theologian. Someone from a Jewish background would consider "unmanly" or "effeminate" behavior etc. to be unacceptable. Greeks did not feel this way about effeminate behavior. However the part of this that is actually used against homosexuals in today’s Fundamentalist Christian society is the part that refers to “abusers of themselves with mankind”. The Greek word used for this is arsenokoitai. This word is made up of two parts, arsen, meaning “man," and koitai, meaning "beds." An ancient pre-Christian translation of the Old Testament into Greek translated the Hebrew word qadesh as arsenokoitai. We already know the meaning of quadesh from before. It meant male temple prostitute. Some leaders in the early Christian church also thought it meant temple prostitutes.

quote:“Some authorities believe that it simply means male prostitutes with female customers -- a practice which appears to have been a common practice in the Roman empire. One source refers to other writings which contained the word arsenokoitai: (Sibylline Oracles 2.70-77, Acts of John; Theophilus of Antioch Ad Autolycum). They suggest that the term refers ‘to some kind of economic exploitation by means of sex (but not necessarily homosexual sex).’ Probably ‘pimp’ or ‘man living off of the avails of prostitution’ would be the closest English translations. It is worth noting that ‘Much Greek homosexual erotic literature has survived, none of it contains the word arsenokoitai.’”

There are others who believe it means “masturbators”. Also some that believe the word refers to catamites (a boy or young male who engaged in sexual activities with older men -- these were usually slaves). Now there are so many different theories about the word because the original meaning has been lost. There is no way to know what it is actually referring to, but I am certain that it does not refer to consensual, committed homosexual relations as we know them today.

I suppose that since memory = information and memory can be destroyed by physical actions, it would be fair to say that information is a part of the physical world, and that part is a certain section of our brains.
