Old testament laws do not apply to Christians today.
The "New Covenant" as mentioned in 1 Corinthians 11:25 and 2 Corinthians 3:6 means just that -- a new covenant (promise, agreement, compact).
For the poster above me, Leviticus 20:12 does not say that at all.

Friend, you need to get your line of thought cleared, No we are not to kill gys, God will do that, But you try to use Exodus 22:20 as pertaining to Jesus , Jesus Christ was not even born yet, he was only still a thought in God's mind. Yes there is one Lord & that is God, That is why when John Baptized Jesus at age 30 Jesus was then & not before then had the Spirit of God in him without measure, meaning that God invested all his power into Jesus Christ Which still makes that One LORD, & after the millieunnium Jesus Christ will once again give all that power of redemption back to his Father & Jesus will become our elder brother.

First please find two non related witnesses that saw the act in question. In addition someone must warn the two individuals that the action they are about to commit is a death penalty offense.
Then find a court that has the biblical authority to carry out a death sentence.
Since such a court has not existed for about 1600 years the point is mute.

We are to do nothing. God is the judge.
In ancient days the Israelites were to keep the nation clean. They were to kill those who would bring reproach on the rest. They felt they were only as strong as their weakest link. There is an incidence where the parents of a drunken 'man' took him to the elders. The verdict was they were to stone him to death and the parents were to throw the first stones.
The first commandments are to love God with your whole heart, soul and mind. Have no other Gods against my face.

Leviticus 11:9-12 says:
9 These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.
10 And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you:
11 They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.
12 Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.

Being put to death means at the end of time, because God forbids,,and it is a sin for the same sex to be together. So, yes if you break any of God's commitments, you are doomed for hell.

People used to live these laws to the letter of the law and they became dead in the law because they had no mercy or forgiveness, Jesus came to bring mercy and forgiveness, it is OK for us to hate the sin but we are required to Love the sinner and show them mercy, forgiveness and compassion. Did you miss the commandment that says Thou shalt not kill?
