Newcomer here. As you said, it would be hard to wade through these hundreds of pages. Could you please explain why you think the writers of the Bible could not have known anything about homosexuality? I've never heard that assertion before. And while you're at it, could you also give explanations of how you dismiss what you call the "clobber texts"? Thanks in advance!
I think what he's referring to (and Romulus is free to correct me if I am wrong) is what we now know is the fact that some people are born with an attraction to people of the same gender or to both genders. The people who lived at the time of the biblical writings against did not have the concept of "homosexuality" and in fact had no term for it. They only knew about the ACT of sex between two people of the same gender, and it was forbidden. A man shall not lie with another man as he would with a woman is all they had.
This of course was not unexpected in a tribal culture that relied on a high birth rate to keep up strength in numbers. If Reuben is playing with Aaron rather than the two of them having sex with their wives, no children will be forthcoming.
The idea that two men were by nature attracted to each other and not women and that this was normal for those men would have been a foreign concept.
As for the "clobber texts", I'll let him answer that since he has done so several times and states it succinctly.
Guess you can't comprehend my level of intelligence. You can't win debating with a brick wall. That doesn't mean failure.

This topic is good in the sense that is helps expose the bitter/poisonous "fruit" of those who rebel against the word of God.
I think you mean it exposes the dark spirit, cold heart, and non-think rampant among those naifs who believe a collection of pamphlets by anonymous men who pooped in the sand contains "the word of god."

Then stop rebelling and turn to Jesus. The Bible is your cross and you've nailed yourself to it rather than depend on the Spirit of God--as that Bible teaches.

Now please come back with the "not one jot nor tittle" verse so I can nail you again!
