Comment:
Leviticus 20:13
‘If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.
Response:
As Christians, Act 15 frees us from following the law of the Old Testament, which is why we happily eat shrimp fried rice and wear polyester shirts and cotton pants at the same time.
And if you are wondering about the extreme punishment, consider that all punishments in the Old Testament are pretty gruesome….some things routinely done today, such as working on the Sabbath, were a capital offense(Exodus 35:2) as was using the Lord’s name in vain, which warranted stoning (Leviticus 24:16)
