Your entire argument is based on disagreements on the definitions of
the words "****ea" or "****eia" and "akathartos." You believe they
refer to the loving, longterm, monogamous relation****ps of today and I
don't. We could both produce sources that agree with each other's
meanings until the cows come home and neither will be convinced.

However, there is a significant difference between us in real life: I
know and have associated with GLBT people for decades and you, at
least what I can gather from your surreptitious 'answers,' have not.
The substantial difference is your 'knowledge' is merely intellectual
and mine is real-world. As most people understand, there's no
substitute for real-world knowledge and experience.

I suggest getting to know some GLBT people in real life. And, just
maybe, your ideas will change (though I'm not holding my breath).

So when Jesus stormed into the temple that had been setup as a
marketplace. overturning tables, he wasn't railing? Come on.
