Those who committed those acts were to be executed. Okay. So what? We execute people for serious crimes even today. A holy God has high standards...does that surprise?
This is your argument? Firstly, we don't execute people any more, we view that as a human rights abuse, the only countries that continue to practise it are backward thinking barbarians.
"But the Bible is just saying the act itself is an abomination". Really? Is that all. 1 Corinthians 6:10 calls them sexual perverts. 1 Timothy 1:10 calls them Sodomites.
