The Bible Should Be Amended To Allow Sex Before Marriage—Boris Kodjoe
Hollywood actor Boris Kojoe recently expressed his belief that certain aspects of the Bible are outdated and no longer relevant to modern society.
Specifically, he mentioned rules such as premarital sex, which the Bible strongly discourages, and suggested that they should be amended to allow for sexual relationships outside of marriage. Kojoe argued that despite identifying as Christians, many people do not adhere to these rules, indicating a need for the Bible to be updated to align with current practices.
During an interview with Bola Ray, Kojoe was questioned about the possibility of amending the word of God, which is considered to be timeless.
In response, Kojoe acknowledged that while the Bible is indeed the word of God, it was written by fallible men who interpreted God’s inspiration through their own perspectives. He emphasized that it is these human perspectives that have shaped the content of the Bible.
Therefore, Kojoe suggested that the Bible should undergo another round of editing to reflect the evolving nature of society. As an example, he cited the rule against premarital sex, which he believes should be reconsidered in the context of the 21st century.
Kodjoe’s full name is Boris Frederic Cecil Tay-Natey Ofuatey Kodjoe. He is a German actor and former model best known for his roles as Kelby in the 2002 film Brown Sugar, the sports courier agent Damon Carter on the Showtime drama series Soul Food, Dr Will Campbell on CBS’s Code Black and a recurring character on FOX’s The Last Man on Earth.
Kodjoe was born in Vienna, Austria, to Ursula, a German psychologist of Jewish descent, and Eric Kodjoe, a Ghanaian physician of the Nzema people. His namesake is the Russian poet and writer Boris Pasternak. Kodjoe’s great-grandmother on his mother’s side was Jewish and tragically lost her life in the Holocaust, while his maternal grandmother managed to survive by hiding during the war.
When he was six years old, Kodjoe’s parents divorced, and he spent his formative years in the vicinity of Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany. He has a brother named Patrick and two sisters named Nadja and Lara.
Recognized as one of the “50 Most Beautiful People in the World” by People magazine in 2002, Kodjoe gained prominence as a regular cast member on the Showtime drama Soul Food, which aired from 2000 to 2004.
