No. It's a slam against Baalite male cultic prostitution. Servants of other gods were to be killed.

Jeez....If any of you think this is reassuring to gay people (with the rare exception), you are quite mistaken. You're basically saying, "No, but..." This kind of qualified answer suggests that Gay people have everything to fear from Christians. IF the answer is no to killing Gays, then the answer is NO. Anything less definitive leaves open the door to a return to Nazi atrocities.

God did a lot of striking down in the OT but under Mosaic Law committing the act of homosexuality was punishable by stoning and no not with a bong.
With Messanic law after the new covenant (Jesus dying on the cross) sins can be forgiven so the act of homosexuality while listed as a sin can be forgiven but the person comitting the act is not to do it again because that is seen as not a true repentance.

no.
That is why Jesus fulfilled the Law. Now it is not the letter of the Law but the Spirit of the Law we are to live by. The Spirit is love, grace, mercy, peace, fairness and forgiveness.
Death for expressing love in an intimate way between to consenting adults is not of God or God's will and way.

God wishes all people, gays included would turn from their sin and accept Jesus as their personal savior.

God made gays - do you think that God wants to kill what HE created? NO! God says to love your neighbors (that includes EVERYONE) and leave the judging to HIM!

No matter what the sin, we are forgiving when we ask, since Jesus die, and cover out shame. God know we all have the ability to change, that's why God is patient with us.

No. That was the Old Testament and that ended with the New Testament. However that does not change the fact that homosexual acts are a sin.

No, He wishes that all of us as sinners will turn to Him in repentance and accept His free Gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ His Son.
