NO-HARM AND LOVE

    SUMMARY

The following argument shows that male-male
penetration (anal sex) is okay if no direct or indirect
harm is caused:

  • We should question the views of Moses and Paul
    condemning male-male penetration because we
    don’t accept their views that owning other people
    as slaves is okay.


  • The Bible provides a test to decide whether male-
    male penetration is good or bad.  This is the no-
    harm test.

  • Male-male penetration passes the no-harm
    test when each man acts with caring love and
    does not harm himself, the other man or any third
    party (e.g., a partner), physically, emotionally,
    mentally or relationally, directly or indirectly.

  • There is also the Biblical principle that you should
    treat other people as you would want them to treat
    you, i.e. with kindness and honor.  This helps to
    ensure that no harm is done.
