Quote: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.
Dunno why you are shouting.
It is clear that 'God' wanted poofs murdered.Simple as that.
The God of the ancient Israelites entered into a solemn covenant with all of the people whom he redeemed from captivity and slavery in Egypt [Egypt = = a land of [spiritual] darkness].
And the God of Israel stipulated, in that covenant, with the people of ancient Israel, that those persons who blatantly betrayed, disregarded, and broke, their holy covenant with their God [by engaging in unholy behaviour], must be put to death.
"It is clear that 'God' wanted poofs murdered. Simple as that."
No,
it is even simpler than that.
Blatant covenant breakers, by assent and mutual agreement [cited Exodus 19:8], were to be put to death.
.
In the people of the ancient Israelites, God wanted to have a relationship with a people who God himself, could define as moral and spiritually clean. [see Deuteronomy 4:7-8]
That exact desire, of God our creator [which was revealed in the O.T.],
was also restated again, and again, in the New Testament.
2 Timothy 2:19
....the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ
depart from iniquity.
Matthew 7:21
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven;
but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me,
ye that work iniquity.
John 14:15
If ye love me, keep my commandments.
16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
21
He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
John 6:44
No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove
what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

1 Peter 1:13
Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
16 Because it is written,
Be ye holy; for I am holy.

all ye workers of iniquity.

....know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

2 Corinthians 6:16
And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said,
I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
