Anywhere. It is unjust for anyone to think it to be legal anywhere. A just judge would not say that it is legal.
"Think it to be legal"?
It is either legal or it isn't. Whether it legal or not is not a matter of opinion. The law is either on the books or it isn't. A judge does not get to make up the law or to simply ignore it (theoretically speaking, of course. There are judges in this country who do this all the time but that's a whole different problem). A judge cannot be just if the laws he is adjudicating are unjust. If a judge in this country were to decide to punish someone for being homosexual, it wouldn't be long before the homosexual was set free and the judge was the one being punished.
In other words, justice is not defined by the law - any law. It is perfectly legal to murder babies in this country so long as they haven't been born yet. That doesn't make it just.
There is a chapter in the Bible that is about sexual immorality. And I wonder if it has been a part of American Law.
The bible has been the basis for western civilization's jurisprudence for centuries and has served as the standard of morality for just as long. Anyone who tells you that this country was never a Christian nation is either stupid or lying.
When the Law was given it is eternal so of course it is active even today though not everyone acts on it. It is my belief that heaven and earth have not passed away.
Active?
In what way is it active?
What nation enforces the Mosaic Law? Who was the last person executed for collecting food or fire wood on the Sabbath? Where are the ashes of the last bull sacrificed on the alter? Who was the last to offer a sin offering that actually counted? (I know the answer to that last one!)
Romans 3:21 But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, 22 even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference; 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, 26 to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
Romans 10:4 Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
I am unfamiliar with this.
Well, the next time someone asks you why homosexuality ought to be illegal, you'll have something more substantive to say than "because the bible says so".
It is good. That's why God outlawed homosexuality and other forms of sexual perversion. It leads to misery and death all over the place in various and even counter-intuitive ways.
I do not believe this to be the case. God would never allow it. Even if people say it is true. Even if people act like it is.
WHAT?
What are you talking about? It is entirely legal in several states for homos to get married. And, if you're legally married in one state, that marriage is recognized in every state of the Union. You can pretend like that isn't true but you're just stupid if you do.
"God would never allow it"? What does that even mean? Of course He'd "allow it". Just the same way He "allows" people to rape and murder and commit all kinds of evil every minute of every day.
I suppose I could mention execution with how the person would die, not just that they die or that they suffer the consequence of their sin in their body, but saying that things should happen according to Torah Law might not use the word execution, capital punishment, death penalty.
English please.
What?
Who was the last person convicted of adultery in this country?
Biblically speaking adultery is not just a crime, its a capital crime. When was the last time anyone anywhere in western civilization was executed for having committed adultery?
Neither is fornication or pornography.
Have you completely lost your mind? What are you even talking about? Of course it's legal!
The pornography industry makes more money annually than Major League Baseball, The NFL and The NBA combined.
Laws about abortion are different [in] different places. It is a war going on. People are dead set against the ways of God, and they are not just defending those who have sinned.
The point was that people have no idea what justice even looks like. They have no idea what the laws should be or why and that includes the overwhelming majority of Christians and Jews who literally have no excuse whatsoever for their near total ignorance or what is right and was is wrong. Christians and Jews are both much more interested in being nice than they are in being just.
It is God whose character tells us how we are to act and behave, to love God and others the way God wants us to. From county to country to the whole world. We need justice. We need mercy.
In the context of criminal justice, justice for the criminal is mercy for the society in which the crime was committed. Conversely, mercy shown to the criminal is a crime committed against the society.
Deuteronomy 19:19 then you shall do to him as he thought to have done to his brother; so you shall put away the evil from among you. 20 And those who remain shall hear and fear, and hereafter they shall not again commit such evil among you. 21 Your eye shall not pity: life shall be for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
Resting in Him,
