      This is a case of modern morals trying to square a round hole.

      Here’s what the new American Bible standard says (which is considered the most accurate English translation by Bible scholars)

      If there is a man who sleeps with a male as those who sleep with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they must be put to death. They have brought their [j]own deaths upon themselves

      That’s it, not man and child but man and male. As in, lumping in homosexuality with pedophilia (that old chestnut).
