Default In the Torah, what did Leviticus mean when he said this?

"Thou shall not lay with men as with women"?

And what if you would just lay a little bit differently, is it OK then?

Well, men don't have vagina's, so it's kind of hard to break this rule...

IMHO.

Leviticus 20:13
'If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.

I cant Imagine of any "Position" Men had not tried on Women till this day :P
But I guess you can Always Seek for New "ways" to Evade The Law ...

Do not have sex with men (males) the same way you have sex with women(females). - When you have sex with a man ( male) don't think of him as being a woman (a female). It has nothing to do with homosexuality. God was and is to the point. If he wanted to say male should not have sex with
another male, he would have said so, just like you will not steal, you will not --etc.

Very simple... you may not have sexual relations with men, as you do with women.
And it's not about how you lay but whom you lay with.:...

If you?re looking for a way to cheat the context of a piece of Torah (bible) then you are never going to pass G-D's test.

It might do you well to realize that the book of Viyekra (Leviticus) is not written in the first person by a prophet. In fact it is not know who wrote it.

The issue is the book of Devarim (Deuteronomy) basically outlaws addition and subtraction to its book and it is the only book written in the first person (by Moses). In Devarim 13 it outlaws following the instructions from men pretending to be authorized by G-d to add laws. (false prophets)

Since a comparison between the last word given in Devarim before Moses dies and the book of Virekra you find that the Levis corrupted Torah and added even rules about long eyelashes and permitting adultery with slaves to go unpunished.


That passage you mention is not in Devarim but G-d does give his opinion on cross-dressing not being allowed because it causes confusion. Obviously this confusion is an evil thing to be avoided.
