It also says that all the tribes of Israel gathered together to wipe out a city full of them. (Battle of Gibeah)
Also it clearly says in the bible that they should be killed. (Leviticus I think)
I read this as being a special group that God does not want on planet earth.
“My recollection is that God’s answer to Homosexuality is to burn them to death with fire from above. (Sodom and Gomorrah)”
Ummm...that was ONE time. You’ll notice God is not burning homosexuals to death in SF, and Raymond Burr was not struck down by divine fire!
“I read this as being a special group that God does not want on planet earth.”
I guess I notice this:
“And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 that WHOEVER believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that WHOEVER believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” - John 3
“God our Savior, 4 who desires ALL MEN to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.” - 1 Tim 2
“Say to them, As I live, declares the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live; turn back, turn back from your evil ways, for why will you die, O house of Israel?” - Ezekiel 33
If Raymond Burr was still alive, I’d have no problem praying for him. But I wouldn’t try to kill him. Don’t think Jesus would either - and there is no difference between the God of the OT and the NT!
