Originally posted by sonhouseI think what he is saying is that the killing of homosexuals simply because they were gay, historically, was "ok" because it was "obeying God" - even though some Christians acknowledge that Mosaic Law was the law of Moses and not the law of God.
So you are ok with the killing of homosexuals simply because they are gay?

BTW, the act of clitoris removal is practiced today and has been in the past and if that tribe never saw, heard of, or read about Jesus, they are all insane and therefore bound for hell?
No. I think we should kill them for being left handed.
The "act" of mutilating a girl's body is barbaric. Or don't you know that?
Originally posted by josephwI thought I was offering a fair paraphrase actually. You say then: So "the killing of homosexuals simply because they were gay" is/was right/wrong, sane/insane, obeying God/not obeying God, Mosaic Law/God's Law, historically/nowadays? Which is it to be?
That's not what I was saying.

Do you think crime of any kind should go unpunished?
Originally posted by josephw'God is only for me and my religion: not for people who have other religions.' This is a textbook religionist assertion. There is scarcely a more prominent religionist on this web site than you. It's interesting that you deny it, although I understand why.
There's only one way to "heaven". Eternal life is the gift of God. It isn't earned by "doing" or "being" good. No matter how "virtuous" one is, without Christ they are lost.
I'll leave the judging to God.
Originally posted by josephwWell you have conceded that executing a homosexual for being a homosexual is barbaric and insane. So if you have a further clear point with regard to this, please go ahead.

What does "crime of any kind" going "unpunished" have to do with what we are discussing?
Originally posted by FMFReligion is the practice of rites, rituals, and ceremonies by man in an effort to establish a relationship with God.

I do none of that. If you want to label me a "religionists" because of what I "believe", then have at it.
",..although I understand why."
You haven't a clue.
