PAUL’S COIN: ARSENOKOITAI

​​

Paul’s arsenokoitai (1 Cor 6:9, 1 Tim 1:10)—“homosexuals”? Bullshit. He welds “male” (arseno) and “bed” (koitai), skips Greek’s gay slang—paiderastes sat idle. Fresh term, sharp sting: false teachers, church leeches twisting truth raw. 1 Tim 1:7—“They yap law, don’t know jack”—“killers of fathers, killers of mothers” ain’t Pharisee lingo, it’s Paul’s gut-punch for spiritual rebels shredding God’s reign. Arsenokoitai? Exploitative crooks bedding the flock with angel-worship lies (Jude 6-7)—not lovers, but cons with venom tongues. Paul’s thorn (2 Cor 12:7)—liars clawing his gospel—birthed these oddball words his flock knew cold from his roaring ministry. Time faded their bite—homophobes hijacked it, smeared it queer. Context got gutted; mistranslation bled hate—Paul’s war’s on doctrine rot, not bedroom doors.
