Matt Slick, founder of CARM, Christian Apologetics and Research Ministry, has the essential answer about the homosexual claim that the word 'homosexual' did not appear in Bibles until the mid-20th century.
The term, he says, was developed by a German scientist in 1890s in the biological realm. It was the most distinct way of expressing the situation with its Greek and Latin roots. Prior to this 'sodomite' and 'pervert' were used. Slick argues it would take about 50 years for common usage to result in its use in Bible translation.
And, in any case, the word is the Greek 'arsenokoites' which is male-male intercourse. It is distinct from 'porne' but not far removed.
