Why are some people gay?
GG: For the small Jewish tribe the emphasis was on the survival of the tribe and homosexuality decreased childbirths. This made it a tribal taboo.
Kryptoid says: I'm doubtful that's the reason, since celibacy isn't a sin.GG: You raise a good point. The Catholic Church has always been against condoms. Yet celibacy is another form of birth control. some early Jews at the time of Jesus were celibate. The Church did not want married priests since they wanted all the money the Priests could achieve.
It was expected that when a brother died, the living brother would marry his brothers wife.
celibacy of the priesthood is not an OT idea
