Kevin, where do you get your references to "porneia" referring to
homosexuality and bestiality? I know Lidell and Scott defines it as
prostitution or fornication, but that's all I'm aware of. And the term is
quite significant to my work (Christian apoc. act literature), so I'm quite
interested in your response.
Thanks, Jill Gorman
