Execute away Naz.
Firing squad, hanging or lethal injection? (I bet you're the kind that would want to stone these sexually confused kids to death).
Once again: Jesus repealed the penalty phase against homosexuality (there is a reason why Christian legislators rarely imposed the death penalty on acts of homosexuality, and I'm thinking because they understood Scripture better than you).
(1)
Lets be clear that having a sinful desire is sinful,
but does not constitute a punishable death penalty offence under the Torah,
unless a person acts on their sinful desire, and an abominable act is committed.
The Torah permits only a limited authority to enforce the law,
against overt acts which are forbidden and condemned.
The Torah does not permit anyone to kill anyone if they have not
committed one of the forbidden acts listed as death-penalty abominations.
The Torah does not give authority to punish sinful thoughts,
nor any means to test for them,
although it DOES forbid them (10th commandment) and
demand that people avoid sinful thoughts, clearly denoting them as sin.
(2)
You on the other hand, like most confused modern Christians,
especially Roman Catholics who don't really study or understand the
authoritative Holy Scriptures,
think that somehow Christ had the power to,
and somehow actually did, change the Law of God itself.
Any claims about Holy Scripture or any kind of repealing of the Law of God,
must be clearly and compellingly proven using the Holy Scriptures themselves.
You have made an incredible, ridiculous claim about Holy Scripture:
"Jesus repealed the penalty phase against homosexuality" - aCW

What are you even talking about?
(1) As far as Holy Scripture is concerned,
there never was a 'penalty phase' for mere homosexuality,
if by that you mean homosexual thoughts.
(2) Only homosexual
acts such as
sodomy were condemned by the death penalty,
and the penalty was certain death.
There are no other penalties for homosexual acts like sodomy.
Now in the next breath you back-pedal and allow a penalty for homosexual acts,
but without any authority whatever, sidestep the Death Penalty.
What do you think you are doing?
That's not to say if someone who engages in homosexual behavior is found guilty of a capital offense that the ultimate penalty shouldn't be carried out (purposely spreading a deadly incurable disease; molesting a child, etc.).
Try to follow this simple logic:
(1) Sodomy is a death penalty offence.
(2) THEREFORE, sodomizing a child or anally raping ANYONE is a death penalty offence.
There are no other alternatives,
and nothing in the ENTIRE New Testament suggests
that either sodomy is now legal, or that the death penalty for sodomy
has been revoked.
Recriminalizing homosexuality would amongst other things put a stop to the widespread of AIDS.
This is an unsubstantiated medical claim. Perhaps even a prophetic one.
But again, there is nothing in the Bible to support it.
The rampant plagues that killed thousands of Israelites in the Old Testament
were not because of homosexuality per se, but because of promiscuity,
mainly heterosexual sex outside of legal bounds,
bounds of tribe, and bounds of marriage.
That is, Israelites were struck down and killed by God,
for engaging in extramarital sex with non-Israelites.
Read your Bible, and get back to me.
I suggest you avoid consulting a 'priest', since they are total idiots.
