Of all the various sexual sins, homosexuality is the one sexual sin that God describes as an abomination.

Who's lying now, Gina Miller ?

Check out Leviticus 18:26-30 and you'll see the whole list is classed abomination unless, mystifyingly, "all these" and "any of these" and "any one of these" somehow reference only one item.

(I used the KJV for reference.)

In her zeal to offer a scope of severity, I notice she does not address equal punishment--put to death, even by fire--for the other sexual sins listed (adultery, incest, bestiality, etc.). Such punishments are listed in Leviticus Ch 20 which parallels the listing in Ch 18.

Miller's cherry-picking, a common mote in the eye of some of the loudest on this subject, is every bit as deceptive as the "advice" columnist. At least the columnist doesn't claim to speak authoritatively for God.

Hello, Newzjunkey.

I was not “lying” about Leviticus. When you look at each “itemized” sexual sin, various descriptions are used. In the KJV, only the sexual sin of homosexuality is described as an abomination in that list. You are correct about the blanket abomination statements at the end of the chapter, but that does not diminish my point—which is not a lie—that the listing of each sin describes each in various ways and only uses the word ‘abomination’ for homosexuality.

I am not “cherry-picking’ anything. As for the punishments—ALL sins are punishable by death—eternal separation from God, if we do not accept the free grace of salvation through Christ. The ultimate death penalty for sin has always been the case and continues to be the case, apart from salvation.

Your post is as well deceptive as it "cherry-picks" Old Testament Leviticus penalties while not mentioning the sin remaining sin regardless the Leviticus physical penalties being abolished yet spiritually fulfilled in the New Testament.

...an exclusive focus on Leviticus as a premise for normalizing homosexual sex is a common mote in the eye of the loudest homosexual agenda promoters who often only pretend to speak truth while in essence promoting evil...
