Believer: It is important that we believe what the Bible has to say in it's literal, historical and grammatical sense, and not infuse our understanding or presupposition onto or into it. God's word is true and right it's our interpretations that at fault...

the context here points out that sexual perversion is intended, see the words used before, "Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals..."

The point is not that the bible is offensive or filled with hate speech, the point is people want complete autonomy from God's rules and regulations. We do not like to accountable for anything, and especially a God who will judge us for what we did in this life. Even if this man does get money it does not change the inspired truth of God's word. May God save him from his life and love of sin.

No Bible believing Christian should ever need to defend the truth expressed in the scriptures. We did not author it, God did. What people do not know is, they are accusing God of "hate speech". God is not accountable to man and what he says, we affirm as true. Jesus said "No homosexual... will enter the kingdom of God."
