Bible discussion in Ludwigshafen: Hieke explains about homosexuality!

Ludwigshafen will become the scene of an revealing event on October 15th under the title "No second case Galilei: Why the Bible says nothing about homosexuality". The event, which is organized by the Hospiz as a place of life as a place of life of the Hospiz ELIAS in cooperation with the Heinrich Pesch House, promises to offer interesting perspectives on biblical teaching on homosexuality.

The focus of the lecture is Thomas Hieke, a renowned professor of old will at the Catholic theological faculty of the University of Mainz. Hieke will explain that the biblical texts, both the old and the New Testament, do not know today's understanding of homosexuality. This is a central point because the event aims to promote the acceptance of queer people. "With our series of events, we would like to publicly stand up for the acceptance of queer people and are therefore particularly pleased that we were able to win a proven expert in this area with Thomas Hieke," explains Dennis Marten, the education officer of the Hospiz Elias.

The event takes place from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in the Heinrich Pesch House at Frankenthaler Strasse 229 in Ludwigshafen. Admission is free of charge, but prior registration is recommended. Interested parties can register on 0621-5999 175 or by email to registration @ hph.kirche.org.

A crucial aspect of Hieke's argument is the need for a modern interpretation of biblical texts. In view of the scientific knowledge of human sexuality, an alternating perspective on the writings could help the church not go back to a conflict like that with the teachings of Galileo in the 17th century. This conflict, characterized by dogmatic beliefs, led to a paradox in which church dogms contradicted scientific truth. Hieke emphasizes that such a dogmatics must withstand the changing views of sexuality.

The event aims to open dialogue about sexuality and its biblical interpretation, emphasizing that the requirements for understanding and acceptance in society have grown. On this occasion, the historical context in which many biblical texts have arisen should also be taken into account in order to clarify misunderstandings about their meaning.

In addition, the invitation to the event emphasizes that the event is not only intended for the members of the church. All interested citizens are cordially invited to deal with the topics that play an important role in the current social discussion. The initiative underlines growing awareness of the needs and rights of queer people in a constantly changing social climate.

For those who want to learn more about the topic, this event is a valuable opportunity to receive sound information directly from an expert. The knowledge of the diversity of human sexuality and openness to different ways of life are essential for understanding one's own position and social cohesion.

If you are interested in the conversation, you should mark this appointment red in the calendar and reserve a place in good time so as not to miss an interesting and informative discussion. The event is all about dialogue and education and is an indication of the efforts to promote an inclusive society in which various identities and ways of life are respected and accepted.
