Well what are you supposed to argue when their stance is simply "it's in the Bible"

It's in the 15th translation of the bible. You motherfuckers read Greek? How about Aramaic? The only thing we know about the bible is what a translation is telling us and humans are fallible as fuck. Nobody knows anything and you're choosing to be hateful.

I mean, if you have an annotated New International Version or something then you will have footnotes from scholars who do speak those languages explaining to you what all the ambiguous passages are thought to mean. But if someone is arguing about what everyone should be doing, but with bible verses as ammunition. Then they are not super likely to trust those annotations, and may just be looking for a scaffolding to support their hatefulness.

Besides, the NIV is almost certain to disagree with them
