Supporting arguments
David and Jonathan engaged in a homosexual relationship, which is described in the Bible by David and Jonathan, as well as Saul. That this was tolerated by God proves that the Bible should not be interpreted to condemn all same-sex sexual behavior. [1] [2]
|
Opposing arguments
The correct interpretation of the story of David and Jonathan is that they were heterosexual men who shared a deep and loyal friendship. There was no sexual component to their relationship, and the story is thusly not instructive regarding same-sex sexual behavior. [3]
|
The Hebrew words used to describe the relationship between David and Jonathan are used elsewhere in the Bible to describe both sexual and non-sexual relationships, but the words most typically were not used for sexual relationships.. Thus, it is likely that the relationship between David and Jonathan did not have a sexual component. [4]
