You were asked the question:
Quote:Does not The Bible have exhortations to murder Gay people in it? YES/NO
Your answer was:
Quote:NO!
Is this not in the Bible? Quote:Leviticus 20:13New Living Translation (NLT)
13 “If a man practices homosexuality, having sex with another man as with a woman, both men have committed a detestable act. They must both be put to death, for they are guilty of a capital offense.
Aussie,
Yes that comes from the bible.
But to whom do those laws refer [
and apply to] ?
Those Old Testament laws only apply to the ancient Israelites, living in the land.
The ancient Israelites dedicated themselves [in a covenant with their God] to being a holy people. [the O.T. scripture is cited below]
Homosexuals among the ancient Israelites, were to be put to death,
....because they had broken their covenant with their God,
TO BE A HOLY PEOPLE.
Again, they were to be put to death
because they had broken their covenant with their God.
It cannot be argued, nor proved scripturally, that those Old Testament laws have any application outside of the land of Israel, or, to persons who are outside of the congregation of the people of Israel [and who were not living in the land of Israel].
.
Their God, demanded that the ancient Israelites dedicate themselves to being a holy people. [and 'a light unto the gentiles']

Re those O.T. punishments;
All of those punishments which you quoted, applied to
ancient Hebrew covenant breakers.
And
ONLY to Hebrew
covenant breakers.
AS PER....The
Hebrew nation was in covenant with their God.
And those religious laws [and punishments] applied to members of the
Hebrew nation, because they were 'in covenant' with their God.
AS PER....Exodus 19:8
And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do.
And Moses returned the words of the people unto the LORD.
Leviticus 20:22
Ye shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: that the land, whither I bring you to dwell therein, spue you not out.
23 And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.

26 And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the LORD am holy, and have severed you from other people, that ye should be mine.

ISLAM makes no such qualification regarding homosexuals.
And
EVERY moslem who understands his religion understands that.
