Leviticus 20:13
"'If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.

Exodus 22:18
Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.
Matthew 5:17-20
"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.
Christians must abide by the aforementioned Mosaic laws (as well as all the rest), if they are interested in not burning forever in Hell. Therefore, the Ugandan government is (in this specific instance, at least) following directions right out of the Bible.
what does fulfill them mean ryan?
Before you spend alot of time twisting up the scriptures to support a strict english reading, this link provides a good commentary on what the Greek actually records.
