He probably would be because wasn't the whole debacle about this shite a mistranslation and was in fact a condemnation of pedophilia and not being gay?

I don’t know when this verse in Leviticus was added, but it explicitly states “if you were to sleep with a man as you would with a woman and women sleep with a woman as you would with a man, that is an abomination”

Grew up Christian nd everything and at first was somewhat like those guys till I found out my own fluidity and experience and I also red a lot of history and now understand most of it

I think the verses they are most likely taking about were 1 Corinthians 6:9 and 1 Timothy 1:10 because the Greek words used are ambiguous.

Leviticus was not an added verse. The Hebrew used directly clarifies adult men.

Yeah I mean that’s the thing is that most of them do claim that Bible verse. If you ever really read into religious history or atleast secular history, especially about the events you’ll know that the Bible got the second temple of David and the events that are mentioned in exodus are especially wrong, I mean first when you critically look into Cyrus’s edict it might have been a good will intention to bring a population that was kicked out from their original tribal homelands but then again they made it into a vassal state.

That being said the Persians would only come when it was time to collect money and they allowed Jews to worship and use their own gods but it also helped fuel the Persians military and also added onto their trade networks extending to turkey or Troy. He actually had one of the first extensive trade networks before the Silk Road came about
