How about if we combine the two and bring back the death penalty for homosexuality?

“How about if we combine the two and bring back the death penalty for homosexuality?”

There was a very brief period in this country in which homosexual acts were capital crimes.

Both the Old and New Testaments affirm that this merits death. However, there are many other things that do as well. And probably most of us would be guilty of at least one of them, under God’s moral code.

And that’s not to mention that the “wages of sin is death” (Rom. 6:23), which is even broader.

But I think the severity of the consequences of tolerating homosexuality as normative behavior in society is incalculable. God already demonstrated with Sodom how He will deal with this. And His judgment of fire in that case is merely foreshadowing what is going to come upon the whole world.
