"Kill" is symbolic, but the Jews had very strict rules.
Homosexuals and adulterers are sex sinners. They will not enter the kingdom of Heaven.
However, if they repented, then he said "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone"

Why don't you ask the man who wrote the book, Skeptic. Great website! Why did you bother? You could have asked the very angry person who wrote homosexuals are fifthly perverts. My view of the bible is that men are perverts and woman are whores. I never seen that word used as much I did in a couple of pages. IWhy didn't God just kill them himself with a flood or something. He is the creator, so if he feels that homosexuals were his mistake he could have done something to fix this big problem this country seems to have. There really are not any intelligent answers from men and the people that be live this crap to be true just makes me sick. How in the hell can you say you are a Christan and God is all about love not hate (earlier today) but yet all you see is nothing but hate and ignorance.

Leviticus 20:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
followed by a whole bunch of "laws" including
Leviticus 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
Some of the goofiest stuff is in Leviticus.
Leviticus 11:20 All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto you.
So, there are 4 legged fowl and we are not supposed to eat them?
Leviticus 11:23 But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you.
What creatures are there that fly and have four feet?
Don't forget the biblical treatment of leprosy. Leviticus 14:2-52.

Because they are sins that pervert people. Israel was a new nation UNDER GOD, and had a LOT of baggage left over from Egypt that needed to be dealt with. God wanted a pure, holy people, and they obviously didn't have a clue what that meant, so God had to spell for out to them.
If they had had a heart for God, I don't think so many Laws would have been required, but as it is, there was a LOT of cleaning up to do, like moving into a home that's been vandalized and used by squatters and left to deteriorate. A LOT of renovation and rebuilding was necessary for God to move in.

The creature can not ask the writer "why did You try this or that?" See Rom 9:20. He explains Himself particularly for sure in His be conscious. the actual query is "why do human beings refuse Him who has so for sure popular His love and mercy for them?" the answer to the query is given in Romans financial disaster one million. nonetheless, you may repent, ask His forgiveness and be forgiven. you're actually not ignorant in any respect, or you does not be asking questions like this. you would be on the brink of a clean existence. you would be shocked. Many others have been. as an occasion, C. S. Lewis and Josh McDowell. To get on your unique query, the bibles i take advantage of do not use the term "fake idol", yet basically "idol". The term idol represents a dozen or so Hebrew words (some on the topic be counted of one yet another) and one Greek be conscious eidolon. Technically, there's a distinction between the guy-made merchandise and the "god", no be counted if angel or demon. for sure, there's a connection interior the experience that the idol worshipper is associating the object with the "god". What God is telling us is that this - "do not worship something different than Me." To worship something is to characteristic nicely worth to it. The scriptures say that basically he's worth to be praised. I even have discovered that that's authentic. in case you examine the Scriptures to make certain what he's announcing, i believe you will additionally stumble on that he's authentic and good. The issues that the enemy makes use of to accuse Him are fake, and if we believe him, then we are deceived. yet you're able to try this. Ask God this. while you're actual, show your self to me so i'm able to understand the actuality. If he's not actual, then no answer would be acquired. If he's actual, then it extremely is on your pastime to get the actuality and not be deceived. it extremely is as much as you. meanwhile, i will pray which you're making the nicely suited determination. remember, love is extra effective that the grave. If it weren't for romance, i does not have spent the time sharing this with you as I have not have been given something to learn. yet once you do as I propose and additionally you settle for Him, then i ought to have gained a sister in eternity.

God did not instruct Moses to do this, this is what the price of sin costs us, God is telling Moses where this leads.
This did cost alot, because those that read this, read also into it wrong, and thought it was upon them to be the judge, and they were actually killing and stoning people. They did not see what God was actually saying.
It took Jesus having to come in the flesh to teach us, we are not to hurt anyone, we are to turn the other cheek, not seek revenge, we can be forgiven of these things through Jesus Christ, but if we don't go to Jesus and truly ask forgiveness,
The wages of sin are death, and that is what is meant, if you still have sin, you have death.

because the bible says that it is only wright and natural that a man and woman should love eachother and also most religion has a practicall side to it because most things it tells you to do will be good for the world e.g. God doesnt like adulterers and homosexuals because they will not create offspring

Punishments for various crimes and sins were very different back in those days than they are now. It hasn't been that long ago that we still were hanging people for crimes. Punishments have lessened over the years, but punishment is still enforced for crimes. In that day and time, homosexuality was a crime, along with many other things that we couldn't imagine today. We all still sin but luckily, we're not killed for them in today's society. Alot changed from the old testament to the new testament. Jesus's teachings are to turn the other cheek and to love each other. Sin is still wrong - but thank goodness it is up to God to judge us and not for us to judge each other.

How do you know that God really said that? It was Moses who claimed God said that. At any rate, Jesus set an adulterous woman free and He never said one thing about homosexuals.

He did not, Moses took his name in vain - on the sixth day God saw the world and it was good - including Gays as for adultery - judge not less ye be judge.
In truth we all take from the Bible what we want.
