1 Samuel 18 [The Message]

Pseudo-scholars in the sodomite community refer to the friendship bond between David and Jonathan as an example of the Bible supporting their perverted relationship. Yes, the Bible says that Jonathan and David were knit in their souls, and loved each other as themselves. This is not so rare. As NT Christians, we are to love one another as we love ourselves. Another point; David was so committed to God’s laws and clearly knew that scripture says, “Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.” [Lev. 18:22] He paid dearly for his moral failure with Bathsheba, but the Bible says nothing of the sort regarding his relationship with Jonathan.

The Bible does not shy away from describing a deep, holy bond men can have that is far from sodomy. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. [Jn. 15:13]
