So it's no longer an abomination and therefore should go unpunished?

Why would all my beliefs purely come from the bible? To answer your question I feel that gay sex is a totally uneccessary and dangerous act. If that's what people want to do then fine, I'm not going to speak out against them.

How is it dangerous any more than anal sex between men and women, or vaginal sex? It's not even unnatural as it occurs frequently throughout nature.

I think a Creator God would have a better understanding of the world than some bloke from England.

Don't get high and mighty with me Welshie, you don't even have a proper country
I'm just happy that this "bloke from England" has a better understanding of morals and right from wrong than your god.

Remind me, who brought up the subject of Leviticus?
|
I did in #284 in response to your posts. I even mentioned the OT/NT cut off, and pointed out how you no longer apply the rules about milk and meat, but still apply the "homosexual acts are a sin" rules.
So thank you for reminding us of an example of how you are taking aspects of society from thousands of years ago and trying to apply it to modern days.

Are they not applicable today?

Wouldn't it be out of context to apply them today?
After all, they're from "different" times.
So which is it Russ?
Cherry picking, all, or nothing, with regards to the OT and the laws within.
How about the NT?
That was 2000 years ago, aren't you taking things out of context if you try to apply the NT to modern times?

He didn't feel loved.
He made a mistake.
He's a psychopath.
He didn't like how humans were using their freedom of choice as they chose not to worship him.
He's a genocidal tyrant.
He didn't, it was a story absorbed into early Hebrew scripture during their time as slaves in Mesopotamia from their mythology because it suited their needs.
Take your pick.
