In reply to the discussion: Evangelical church urges Trump admin to 'execute' LGBTQ Americans [View all]markpkessinger
(8,832 posts)45. Leviticus 20:13
If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall be put to death; their blood is upon them.
--Leviticus 20:13 [NRSV]
So it is in there. But then again, the books of Leviticus, Deuteronomy and Numbers seem to call for death for a whole host of offenses, including:
1. Murder (Ex 21:12,14)(Lev 24:17,21)(Num 35:16-21,30-31)
2. Kidnapping (Ex 21:16)(Deut 24 : 7 )
3. Child sacrifice (Lev 20:2)
4. Both the man and woman who commit adultery (Lev 20:10)(Deut 22:22-24)
5. Rape (Deut 22:25)
6. Daughter of a priest who became a prostitute (Lev 21 : 9 )
7. An idolater (Ex 22:20)(Deut 17:2-5)(Num 25:1-5)
8. Breaking the Sabbath (Ex 31:14)(Ex 35:2)(Num 15:32-36)
9. A woman having sex before marriage (Deut 22:21-22)
10. Homosexuality (Lev 20:13)
11. A man and his fathers wife who have sex (Lev 20:11)
12. A man and daughter-in-law who have sex (Lev 20:12)
13. A man who marries a woman and her mother (all 3 must die) (Lev 20:14)
14. Bestiality (Sex with an animal) (Ex 22:19)(Lev 20:15-16)
15. A false prophet (Deut 13:5)(Deut 18:20)
16. A false witness (Deut 19:16-21)
17. A disobedient son (Deut 21:18-21)
18. A child who strikes his father or mother (Ex 21:15)
19. A child who curses his father or mother (Ex 21:17)(Lev 20 : 9 )
20. Men who are fighting and hit a pregnant woman, causing her lose her baby (Ex 21:22-25) ***Note: A good verse to use against those who are pro-abortion
21. A man whose ox kills someone after previously goring other people (Ex 21:28-29)
22. A sorceress (Ex 22:18)
23. A medium or spiritist (Lev 20:27)
24. A brother, son, daughter, wife, or friend who entices you to go after other gods (Deut 13:6-11)
25. Everyone in any town that entices people to go after other gods (Deut 13:12-15)
26. A blasphemer (Lev 24:10-16,23)
27. Anyone who failed to abide by a decision of the court (Deut 17:8-12)
28. Any non-Levite who tried to set up or take down the Tabernacle (Num 1:51)
So the way to answer this is not to dispute that it's in the Bible. Rather, it is to ask these people if they are equally comfortable with executing people who have commited adultery, which would surely include at least some of their own!

I wish people here would stop using the term "evangelical" as a generalized descriptive adjective.

Yes, it is Evangelical - it titles one of its leaders "Evangelist" with the capital 'E'

They call themselves "Evangelical". Raw Story calls them "Evangelical". But somehow, DU copy-and-pasting

That was interesting - I googled each term you mentioned - all seem to have a common denominator

The word has been perverted by the reconstructionist crowd, which are truly extremist and fascistic.

Any church who tells you who or what to vote for, or does shit like this, isn't a church.
