Well, I’m not waiting around for Bart to save my faith.
Jewish males are considered to become men at the age of 13 because of a ceremony called a “Bar Mitzvah,” which marks their transition into adulthood and the acceptance of religious responsibilities as a Jewish man. (google AI) // A Bar or Bat Mitzvah is a coming of age ceremony for Jewish boys and girls when they reach the age of 12 or 13. This ceremony marks the time when a boy or girl becomes a Jewish adult. This means that they are now responsible for their own actions and can decide for themselves how they would like to practice Judaism. (Jewish Museum London)
Respect the culture. Explain why these males (Paul’s boys and Jesus with the young man in the garden) were younger than 12 or 13 or you are a fraud.

With ALL the homosexuality in Ancient Greece and with Alexander the Great, you want to pick on Jesus and Paul.
Go pick on HADRIAN.
Almost every noun and verb of the Ancient Greek language is associated with an Ancient Greek-Roman pagan god and ritual.
Paul speaks about the “transformation of the mind”. Romans 12:2 They were to transform their mind out of thinking about and doing those pagan meanings. That “transformation of the mind” is what caused the Holy Trinity theology which was developed by “the mind of the Church”.
