It's kind of hard to comprehend a law like this, when you consider how society is now. But TBH homosexuality was not very common back then. So I doubt many people were found guilty of this charge.(May 6, 2012 at 6:01 pm)Abishalom Wrote: What do you think the commandment is teaching? You giving a verse of some men raping women is not the bible condoning the action. On one of those verse it clearly said "there was no king in those days so they did what they saw right in their eyes". That is in no way condoning that behavior.
"If a man lies with a male as with a women, both of them shall be put to death for their abominable deed; they have forfeited their lives." (Leviticus 20:13 NAB)
Is the bible not condoing the murder of homosexuals?
What about this?
All who curse their father or mother must be put to death. They are guilty of a capital offense. (Leviticus 20:9 NLT)
If you loved your neighbor like you love yourself would you then disrespect your parents?

Murder, rape, robbery, slavery, genocide and a ban on shellfish.
Where are the commandments for the first 5 things you listed? I am aware of the dietary laws (eat fish with scales and fins), so you do not have to quote anything for shellfish.
