Answer 2

adultery (Leviticus 20:10)
homosexual behavior (Leviticus 20:13)
kidnapping (Exodus 21:16)
loving anything more than God (Leviticus 20:2)
occult practices (Exodus 22:18)
pre-marital sex (Leviticus 21:9)
not observing the Sabbath (Numbers 15:32-36)
striking or slandering a parent (Exodus 21:15, 17)

Makes you wonder, who would be left to pull the last trigger, huh?

Look, the Old Testament is not meant to be taken literally anymore. It was a guideline for folks before the time of Christ who needed firm laws and regulations to guide them. The NEW Testament is new for a reason. It is supposed to be a replacement of the OLD testament's draconian rule set by the sacrifice of Christ.

Answer 3

The "Death" the Bible speaks of is an iternal death of your soul, or eternity in hell. As for a person being able to put someone to death for working on sabbath or being gay, Jesus tells us "He who is without sin cast the first stone. "

Answer 4

Do you have to be homosexual and work on the sabbath ? I work on the sabbath but am not homosexual so If I was ever tempted to be homosexual does that mean I will have to give up my work ? Would I then be able to claim benefits as I would have been forced to give up work on the sabbath because of my sexual orientation and the sexual discrimination law would kick into force if I didn't...... gosh its a complicated life

Answer 9

Paul points out that the fruit of the law; all of the commandments, is death. And as James points out, to break one point of the law was to be guilty of all.
