It happened in Kentucky minutes ago with Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis explaining to a gay couple why she would not give them a marriage license....
Cameras were there......
Cleverness wasn’t my intention. I fully stand by what I said.
There’s a religion forum here you could use for such topics.
Yes, there is a religion forum.
However, the subject at hand touches on religion.
And you seem to not understand that levitical law comes to us from the Torah, Jewish law, etc.
Which is where our old testament comes from.
And, once again for having supposedly been a Freeper since January 2001...
...why is your handle born on date saying August 17 2015?
Leviticus 20:13 enjoins the death penalty for both parties in man-on-man intercourse, and nothing in the Jewish or Christian Bibles abrogates that specific death penalty, let alone the death penalty generally.

It’s not my fault you and your little friends are too thick to grasp the difference between drawing an analogy among various prohibited categories of discrimination, and saying they’re the same category. Saying homosexuality is a religion, race, or creed would be as absurd as saying it’s a hubcap or a McChicken.
But have fun with your dismal straw man!
It’s not our fault you think this nation was founded as a secular nation, ignore article 6 US Constitution, amendment 1, and feel that Christians have no business holding public office.
FreeRepublic is pro-God as per site owner.
Thanks for reminding me.
So what was your prior handle?
People who do not understand that this is a separate covenant with the Hebrew people get the theology wrong, which is sad, because there is a right line of reasoning to gentile nations and it comes from the Noahide law.
The old covenant, as clearly spelled out in the book of Hebrews, is “obsolete and aging and will soon disappear.” I didn’t put that in the bible. I can’t take it out.
FR doesn’t zot conservatives.
Retreads don’t count.
Thank you for the courteous reply, which, however, smells to me of wishful thinking. Inasmuch as Jesus said He came to fulfil, not abolish, the law, fundamentalist Christians should feel bound by the law except in cases where Jesus enunciated a new principle, eg the Sabbath being made for man and not the other way around. However, I’m a non-fundamentalist Christian, so I eat pork and would jail homosexuals who publicly act lewdly or publicly advocate for open profession of homosexuality but would leave in peace those who kept their perversion private. Execution is and should be out.
Nothing wishful at all about Noahide law being that which inherits upon gentile nations. Nothing whatsoever.
It is straight up good and accurate theology. It’s the cherry picking which takes place for the sake of bolstering condemnation which smells of wishful thinking. Consider even what would have taken place EVEN IN THE HEBRAIC covenant if only one witness were available... yes, the offender would skate.
I didn’t put that in there. God wrote it into the bible. By claiming too much where it is convenient for us, we end up turning ourselves brittle with hatred and unable to deal with the real issues perpetuating the problem.
well, bye
Huckabee and Cruz have both visited her, apparently after her release.
(I mistyped Huckabee with a “J” to begin with - must be thinking about Heb!)

Hat tip to diamond for posting the link in the first place.
Not really. Here is a peak at her lawyer’s legal reasoning: https://www.liberty.edu/media/9980/attachments/2015/090715_Emergency_Motion_for_Immediate_Consideration_and_Motion_for_Injunction_Pending_Appeal.pdf
Hat tip to Diamond.
Cruz is there.
