They consider the so called "Prophecies" of the coming of Jesus, yet they completely disregard the Verses stating that homos should be killed in the SAME TESTAMENT!!!
Either take it all, or leave it all, you can't Choose what you like, because it's ALL from God as you claim.
Your thoughts on this?

Lev 20:13 And if a man lie with mankind, as with womankind, both of them have committed abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

Okay bright one, where does it say to kill a homosexual? I do not particularly care for the lifestyle they lead, and my bible says it is an abomination. But nowhere does it say kill a homosexual. Homosexuality is a sin, no more or less of one than lying, cheating, stealing, murder, or adultery. Perhaps you need to look again.

The Old Testament led up to the New Testament. It's an account of history and prophesy. Christians follow the New Testament, which says that although homosexuality is wrong, they should not be put to death. Instead, if there is one in a church, and they refuse to repent, they should not be allowed inside the door.
This is not from me, it's from the Bible!
And yes, the Old Testament is from God. However, much of it was no longer applicable with the coming of Christ.

Anyone who sinned was to be killed. Not just homosexuals. God said the wages of sin (not just homosexuality) is death.
This is the law that man is unable to fulfill, requiring a blood sacrifice to pay the penalty.
Gods intent was not to have all of mankind die, but for them to live Holy. They were unable due to the entrance of sin.
However we should still try to live Holy.
Many laws and commandments were given to the Israelites, circumcision being one. Yet it was not required of Gentiles that came to Christ. Because circumcision of the heart was the adequate. They now live for God, what would it profit men to be circumcised if they would live wickedly? Would God count a man who lived righteously unclean due to lack of circumcision? The disciples were told no, through revelation. The same applies to all.
The greatest commandments are to love God with everything we have and are, and to Love one another as we love ourselves. This is the fulfillment of all the law, and on love hangs all the prophecies, commandments, and righteousness.
You have to accept it all to know why Christians are, and what we are to do, and how we should live.
"By this they shall know that you are my disciples, that you love one another", not by how many homosexuals you stone.
If you hate a homosexual or anyone for that matter, you are a murderer in Gods eyes, and no murderer has eternal life in them. We should show the love of God to all people, not try to kill them. If they accept Christ, they will turn from their sin, just like we all did. We can do no more than plant a seed. God does the rest.

You do not have your scriptures in order, The bible says those who commit such acts are worthy of death, it does not tell us to go out & kill them, Friend you need to keep your line of thought in tune with the scriptures, instead of trying in a slick way to deceive people, it won't work with me.

Started With Eve
Satan started discrediting Yahweh, with Eve.
Genesis 3:1-4__
1 Now the serpent was more subtle and crafty than any beast of the field which Yahweh had made. And she said to the woman; Has Yahweh indeed said: You shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2 And the woman said to the serpent; We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden;
3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, Yahweh has said: You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, or you will die.
4 And the serpent said to the woman; You will not surely die.
Yahweh had already told Adam, first, then Eve, that they would die the second death in the lake of fire IF THEY DISOBEYED HIM!
Genesis 2:17__
But of the Tree of the Knowledge of Righteousness and Evil you must not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.
Yahweh did not say, "You will immediately die IN THE DAY you eat of this tree,'' as the King James translation might lead one to believe. Yahweh was saying that Adam and Eve would be given over to The Second Death if they disobeyed Him (Romans 6:23).
Adam and Eve became worthy of The Second Death the day they disobeyed Yahweh. Likewise, those of us living today, become worthy of The Second Death the day we start disobeying Yahweh. Satan, who knows this truth, started with Adam and Eve in her quest to get man to disobey Yahweh.
How Does Satan Do This?
Satan took advantage of Eve's misunderstanding, and told Eve that she would not die. Satan may have instituted, at that very time, the FALSE BELIEF that man has an immortal soul, and will live forever in one state or another. Yahweh tells us no such thing!
Yechetzqyah 18:20__
The soul that sins, it will die. The son will not bear the iniquity of the father, nor will the father bear the iniquity of the son. The righteousness of the righteous will be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked will be upon himself.
Obedience is worship! By deceiving Eve into disobeying Yahweh, SATAN WAS OBEYED! Satan received WORSHIP FROM ADAM AND EVE, which she was craving. OBEDIENCE to Satan is WORSHIP of Satan!
Yahweh Is Not A God!
Another deception Satan spreads among men is that Yahweh is just one of many gods. By this false doctrine, Satan has deceivingly EQUALIZED herself with YAHWEH in the eyes of the DECEIVED WORLD!
Many people today even believe Satan is mightier than Yahweh, and have openly raised up groups to call upon Satan to help them gain riches.
This has been accomplished because deceived man thinks Yahweh is just a god among many gods:
Exodus 20:3, KJV__
Thou shalt have no other gods before Me.
Exodus 20:3 is part of the first commandment of the Ten Commandments. The word which has been translated other in the King James Version is the Hebrew word, acher and means: hinder, those left behind.
Yahweh commanded His people not to WORSHIP THE GODS they left behind in the land of Egypt! The word, other, was deliberately placed in the King James Version to deceive man into thinking YAHWEH is just ANOTHER god.
In the days of Mosheh, the Egyptians worshiped every god known to man. Jewish writings say the names of these gods were written in a book. Jewish writings also say, the Egyptian Priests COULD NOT FIND THE NAME OF YAHWEH in that book!
The word el, which has been translated into English as god, was NEVER A TITLE FOR YAHWEH in the days of Mosheh.
It was only AFTER the Israylites moved into the LAND OF CANAAN that this title EL, was ACCEPTED by the Israylites to identify our Heavenly Father.
In the original and up to the days of Yahshua Ben Nun, this title, El, was NOT APPLIED TO YAHWEH by the followers of Yahweh.
In the days of Mosheh, Yahweh was NEVER known nor identified as EL, ELOHIM or GOD. Yahweh commanded Mosheh in Exodus 20:3 ``You shall have NO HINDER GODS (elohim) at all, in opposition against Me.''
Yahweh brought Israyl out of Egypt where ALL THE GODS WERE WORSHIPED and He said to the Children of Israyl, "Leave the gods alone! I am Yahweh your Heavenly Father, your Guide and your Protector! I am ALL you will ever need!''
