Just because they find ways to adjust the texts to the times doesn’t mean the texts don’t say what they say. Yes I have heard that episode where Dan tries to contextualize the homophobic stuff away. Greco-Roman world had gay marriage and we are supposed to believe that Paul only understood gay sex in terms of dude raping his slave, when Paul specifically calls out lesbianism?
Stop apologizing, you know what the text says. The faster you can see what is literally on the page the faster you can leave religion
But sex was understood differently (as was gay marriage) in the classic age then as it is today. For instance consent wasn’t a thing.
And no, we can’t agree on what biblical text says, whether that’s about how it should be translated, which passages take priority over which others, what is parable versus what is literal and so on.
Yeah yeah consent wasn’t a thing. Which is why they had criminal and civil penalties for rape written on paper for over a thousand years prior. And which is why Cicero argued a rape case defense 8 decades prior to Paul. Stop making up stuff, you know they knew what rape was.

Doesn’t matter. A slight difference in understanding doesn’t mean there are no laws.
And no, we can’t agree on what biblical text says,
I didn’t ask for your agreement.

All the games in the world won’t change what those passages say. Go ahead and try to square the circle
