Didn’t expect this leftist garbage from a Baptist church.

Edit: thanks for the support pedes. My faith in God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit is not diminished. I’m just disappointed in the pastor. I will keep looking for a church that is rooted in God only.

Here is a translation from the Greek from a scholar that is very expert in the Greek of that era, that pertains to the bullet items I listed:

2 Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not engage in pederasty, do not engage in sexual immorality. Do not steal, do not practice magic, do not use enchanted potions, do not abort a fetus or kill a child that is born.

When I did the search "pederasty definition" this is the top listing that came up:

ped•er•as•ty n. Unnatural carnal union of males with males, especially boys. n. Sexual activity between two males; sodomy; the “crime against nature“; -- used especially when one partner is a boy. n. Erotic love, sexually expressed or chaste, between a man and an adolescent boy.

You might be wondering if the phrase "do not abort a fetus" is really an accurate translation. Here is what the scholar that did this translation has to say when asked that question:

I hope it’s an accurate translation, since it’s mine! The Greek literally says: “Do not murder a child who is in corruption” That means, a child who is still not completely formed. That it is referring to an unborn child is clear from what is said next “Nor kill a child once it has been born”
