| | | There are no passages in the Bible that justify the execution of gays. Old Testiment which is no longer considered valid civil law according to modern Christian teachings. (Not a Bible scholar, just looked it up)
"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," (OT - Leviticus 20:13)
"The civil aspect of the law is no longer in effect because these laws were intended for a specific theocratic system, that is, a system where God's morals were enforced by the government. But the ancient governmental system is not in effect. Furthermore, the ancient purity laws were in place to keep the Messianic line pure so that Jesus would be born, die on the cross, be resurrected, and provide redemption to God's people. Now that the Messiah has arrived and accomplished His sacrificial work, the harshness of the Old Testament law is not necessary.
So, we're not to execute homosexuals any more than we are to execute adulterers. However, their sins should never be accepted in society as an alternative lifestyle."
