“...They must be put to death...”
See that right there is pretty good evidence that much of the bible was written by people with as many flaws as you or I. Or do you believe that homosexuals should be executed?
This was a commandment direct from God. Your comments about being written by people with many flaws don’t apply here.
Right? Unless you think God was flawed in making that law.
As far as being executed; that was right and just at that time. Now - thanks to the Cross - there is not a physical death. But unless they repent and are saved, there is worse - an eternal death.
The concept, I think, is of spiritual death, in the sense of Adam and Eve eating from the tree, or Cain mudering Abel. They were allowed to live on but from thence were flawed beings. These parables make sense in the world. Not to suggest that it didn’t happen, but there is no specific incident of execution for homosexuality in Torah.
After the human Birth of Jesus, the Law was fulfilled and our sins were atoned for. "The Law is a curse." The Law was not destroyed, but it WAS fulfilled by Jesus. We no longer have a man to judge us under the Law, nor do we have a man to put mankind to death for adultery, homosexuality, etc. Our system of laws in this country are based on Judeo-Christian values which is is why we have capital punishment for capital offense.
That aside, Jesus will be our Witness at the Judgement; we will either be given death and eternal damnation or written into the Book of Life and granted immortal life with our Father in Heaven.
Just because you don't like what is written in the Bible and take issue with God's Word and Law.......doesn't mean that the Word is flawed.
And to answer your snarky question posed to another poster.....I believe that homosexuals should be shown the Truth and the Light so they may repent of their sins and be free of the death that awaits in their current sin. If they do not repent and turn from their sin, then Lord's Will be done; but it is not for me to judge them nor to put them to death.
"And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell."
Hmmmm... Let's see. Two choices only: behind door #1 we have execute the depraved homosexual sex practitioners OR behind door #2 we have the Bible is not the divine word of God...
Two choices for you then: are you a homosexual sex practitioner promoter or did you simply stay at a holiday inn express and attend unwittingly the homosexual sex practitioner community organizing event for leftists?
You sure quack like a homosexual sex agenda promoting duck here with your absurd statement. You do know that homosexual sex is not approved for promotion on FR?
