I am a transgender person trying to understand the Bible more accurately. I feel like the Bible is used to unfairly attack people of the LGBT community and I need to know why. I decided that I would read the Bible cover to cover in order to understand it fully but a very short way through I realized that I was only analyzing it as if it were a fictional piece of literature. I was using my own preconceived notions and my own life experiences to understand and form meaning in the words. This is not what I want. I need to understand the original text and the context in which it was originally written. I would love to ask you questions if you have the time or interest to answer them. If not, I understand. I would like to thank you for taking the time to read this e-mail anyway.
In case you are interested in helping me I will go ahead and ask a few questions now.
In Genesis, Eve is referred to as Adam's "an help meet." What word did this originally come from? What does that word mean?
In Genesis 2:25 it says Adam and Eve were naked but were not ashamed. What does this mean? I originally assumed it meant they did not know what sex is but that can't be so because in 2:24 Adam spoke of fathers and mothers.
Also, what do the phrases "shall cleave unto his wife" and "shall be one flesh" also from 2:24 mean?
Thank you again.
Sincerely,
Eamon
