You quote from Zephaniah 3:15 in your tagline; are you a professing Christian ? Yes.
And yet you argue for laws that are directly contrary to Scripture ?
Only a law mandating sinful acts would be directly contrary to Scripture.
If you advocate for your nation to legalize sinful acts, God have mercy on your soul.
Lying is generally legal, as is acting unlovingly toward one's spouse and being uncharitable toward the poor. Do you support criminalizing all these sinful acts?

Biblical law; the crimes and penalties are all there for all to see.

No, if an act is described in the Bible as a sin that merits the death penalty, and our civil laws do not say that the act merits the death penalty, then our civil laws are unscriptural.
Theft is against the moral law of the Bible and also illegal under our civil laws. But in Nevada, prostitution is legal, however in the Bible is merits the death penalty. We can't pick and choose which moral laws of the Bible we want to codify in our laws and which we choose to ignore or decrease the penalties according to our own tastes, and then rightly claim before God that our laws are compatible with Scripture.
