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.
