'''Revelation 22:15''' contains a condemnation of [[homosexuality]] that is omitted from most modern English translations of the [[Bible]].

'''Revelation 22:15''' contains a condemnation of [[homosexuality]] that is omitted from most modern English translations of the [[Bible]]. The [[NASB]], for example, translates this verse as:

+

{{cquote|Outside are the dogs and the sorcerers and the immoral persons and the murderers and the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices lying.}}

+

But what is falsely (and absurdly) translated as "dogs" actually means, in the original text, male [[homosexual]] prostitutes.

The Complete Jewish Bible properly translates the term as "homosexuals" in Revelation 22:15.<ref>https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+22%3A15&version=CJB</ref>

Other references to "dogs" in English translations are probably likewise mistranslations of an ancient term that referred to homosexuals. Part of the error is attributable to an inadequate explanation of the meaning of the Greek term by James Strong in the 1800s.
