GAY TRUTH

The Aleppo Codex is a medieval manuscript of the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh), associated with Rabbi Aaron Ben Asher. The Masoretic scholars wrote it in the early 10th century, probably in Tiberias, Israel. It is in book form and contains the vowel points and grammar points (nikkudot) that specify the pronunciation of the ancient Hebrew letters to preserve the chanting tradition. It is perhaps the most historically important Hebrew manuscript in existence. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) "You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination." (Lev. 18:22, NASB ). "If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltiness is upon them." (Lev. 20:13, NASB). Mr. Vines says, "Hebrews 8:13 states that the old covenant is now “obsolete,” because Christ is the basis of the new covenant . . .  it is true that Leviticus prohibits male

The Scapegoat by William Holman Hunt (1827-1910) (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Leviticus says not to eat shellfish (Lev. 11:9-12), use mixed seed or fabrics (Lev. 19:19), harvest the corners of fields (Lev. 19:9), and that homosexuality is wrong (Lev. 18:22; 20:13).  If homosexuality is wrong because Leviticus says so, then shouldn't we also obey the other laws about shellfish, seed, fabrics, and fields because that is in Leviticus as well?  If not, then why not?  Why would Christians pick and choose what parts of the Bible to follow? First of all, not all of Leviticus is written to everyone.  There were abominations that applied only to the Jews such as eating shellfish, rabbit, and pork, etc., which were things that typologically represented purity before the Lord.  We know this because God says, "Speak to the sons of Israel saying..."  He gives instructions to the Israelites , not to the rest of the nations. Here is a list of instances when the occurrence of t

No, homosexuals , gays, and lesbians should not be put to death. We don't live under the  Old Testament  Law in which the moral and civil requirements are both in effect. Instead, as Christians we are to pray for the salvation of those who are lost in their sexual  sin . We are to treat them with dignity as is befitting people who are made in the  image of God  (Genesis 1:26). However, we are not to support legislation that gives them special rights, nor are we to support a redefinition of  marriage . Furthermore, there is no New Testament admonition to kill homosexuals. In fact, when Jesus dealt with the adulterous woman who, under Old Testament law would've been put to death ( Lev. 20:10), Jesus forgave her and told her to go and sin no more ( John 8:3-11 ).  But then, what do we do about the Bible saying to kill homosexuals? "If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be
