If he were to command of me that I kill homosexuals and people who work on the Sabbath, than I would be forced to do so. However, that order was given to the Israelites for a reason I do not know. NOT ME. Perhaps if I was born an Israeli I might feel differently.
Thankfully, that act has not been asked of me and I am glad because I personally have nothing against homosexuals or working on a Sunday.
Thats not the point. The point is, your bible commands this. I don't care if it commands you specifically to do this. But it command people to do this. How can you support such a book, such a god, who would command these things? You yourself say that you have nothing against homosexuals but you are apparently fine with them being killed by other people. How can you maintain such a position.
Several reasons:
1 I didn't live in that time period and neither I nor you can truly understand what it meant to live in that time period.
2 I don't pretend to understand the will of God.
3 It is not my place to question the almighty Creator of the Universe.
4 I answer for only my own actions. No others.
