So you’re basically saying that the only way that you, as a Christian, can stay away from these yourself is if Caesar (government) bans it?
You basically just said that if a law is required for your neighbor to stop these, that same law is required for you to stop these.

Her initial posts weren’t about discipline or safety, but were open for comment.
Her reaction of, “My kid doesn’t run my house” followed by, “first signs of open defiance” reflects that her anger isn’t about the safety of her child, but about her control over her daughter.

In Scripture, specifically 1Tim and Titus requirements for overseers, all of the terms are gender-neutral in the Greek, and the masculine pronouns have been added in the English to set the narrative for a patriarchy. The Greek τις means literally anyone, but is translated ‘man’.

Nowhere in the Bible is marriage even sanctioned. Sure, it discusses husbands and wives, but it doesn’t present any sacrament of the relationship, nor does the Bible mention who can be married, nor to how many, other than overseers.

There is a distinction made in the Hebrew between the אִישׁ (man) and the זָכָר֙ (male). Martin Luther, and others interpret the זָכָר֙ as a young male, making the passage against pederasty, not homosexuality.
Luther used the word knabenschander in 1Cor 6:9 to reflect this.

αὐθεντεῖν does not mean to usurp authority; it is two Greek words for ‘self’ & ‘armor’ and is properly interpreted ‘don’t battle with the men’. Also, it says for Ephesians women to be ἡσυχίᾳ, calm (not quiet). Paul was asking for equality.

The Greek word that means hitting the mark is τυγχάνω, tugchanó. This word is usually translated as ‘receive or obtain’.
On the flip side, if you miss the mark or don’t receive, that Greek word is ἁμαρτία, hamartia, which is translated ‘sin’

The Hebrew doesn’t use the word mankind. In Lev 20, the Hebrew says, if a ‘mature man’ lie with ‘zakar, which is typical of a young male’. This was the practice of pederasty where an older man would have young male lovers. The Didache backs this interpretation.
