Leviticus 20:13
If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them.
The Old Testament era was a theocracy, therefore, both moral and civil requirements were contracted by Israelite who agreed to be His people and adhere to Contract terms.-10 Commandments being the foundational requirement. The same “death” applies in NT, however, it is a spiritual hellfire separation from your Creator, God.
Bible does address Sexual Sin. God did not have to warn you. And given He did then consider it an act of Love.
-Firstly, Genesis 1:27: made in His image and created Male and Female.
-Romans 1:25-28 addresses lesbians.
-Deuteronomy 23:1 addresses Trans.
And, those who cause His to stumble (public school system, media, Hollywood) would have been better off never being born. Those who cause His to stumble will suffer a painful eternal separation from God.
There's no spiritual hellfire or separation from God. God's presence will be in a literal hellfire torturing His enemies. It's clearly what the Bible teaches.
I must have not been clear. Hell, although, essentially ran by God, is Separation, eternally. It’s called at enmity with God. It’s called the Wrath of a Holy and Sovereign God.
Hell is mentioned, by Jesus alone, more than any other subject in Bible. You need a red letter, ESV Bible.
Thought more about about your question. Man is responsible for Family. Man is to take Wrath.-see Adam as it his his loins, rather than Eve’s ovaries, where Sin originates.
Wrong. The Bible teaches they will be tormented in the presence of the Lamb (Jesus) and the Holy angels.
God's is omnipresent and the ESV is trashy translation that omits God's word in certain scriptures and whole scriptures. I use the NKJV.
I guess because a lesbian can have all the pussy fun she may want with other women and still both satisfy her husband and bear his children. Whereas a man's orgasm is seen as valuable.
There's different treatment for women who lie with a man who is not her husband than for men.
Like most of the laws in the bible they are set in there for practical purposes related to the time ie the act of sodomy is a very unsanitary act that in times before vaccination and antibiotics can make you ill.
Women cheating or having sex before marriage is not tolerated because sex b4 contraception lead to pregnancy and it was b4 paternity testing so you wouldn't know who the father of a child is. The husband would not raise a child that isn't his or an unmarried pregnant woman or adulterous woman wouldn't have a man to support her.
Seems to me these two laws are about increasing procreation
God's moral laws aren't subject to change though. If God thought it was wrong then and the punishment should be death then He thinks the same way about it now too.
How?
Agriculturally that is the way it should be done to let the soil rest. Research the dust bowl. Some people had to learn the hard way. God knows what He is talking about.
You spend an awful lot of time thinking about homosexuals for someone that says they’re straight. Why don’t you just come out of the closet already? I mean, you’re already doing a horrible job of acting like you’re straight. You even have a gay look, honestly. No offense, being gay is fine. Just admit it to yourself.
If I was gay I would say it. What you or anyone else are going to do about it? Absolutely nothing.
I saw something in the Bible and I was curious as to why it address gay men but not lesbian women and your immediate thought is I must be gay. Good logic there. 🙄
I’ve seen you going on and on about how much you hate homosexuality here. You wouldn’t obsess over it if you weren’t secretly gay. That’s just a fact.
Obsession is if I consistently think about homosexuals and lesbians which I don't.
Homosexuality is disgusting and I have a right to think and feel that way and that won't change because it might bother you.
And if you see me on here talking about it a lot is because LGBT is highly being promoted in our society and on GAG which is wrong and I desire to see what people on social media think about it.
It’s just a fact that homophobes tend to be gay and hateful of themselves for it.
And what do you think is the reason why lesbians were left out?
I can understand your point. If I was ranting in rage about gays non stop then yes sometimes people like that tend to be fighting homosexual feelings themselves.
As I said I don't think nor obsess with gays and lesbians, transsexuals unless someone brings it up and is mostly online, not in person.
As far why I think lesbians were left out?
I personally think God doesn't find lesbian sex as disgusting and abominable as homosexual sex.
Reason #1 Women isn't the glory of God, man is, so it's a direct insult of the glory of God when men are sexual with each other.
Reason #2 Lesbians can't do much but kiss and lick each other, while men can assume the role of a woman and get penetrated and do all sorts of stuff that a woman can do with a man.
Nevertheless, lesbian sex before God's is definitely wrong as well.
So, you’re homosexual and misogynistic. No one cares where men can put their dick, and the only reason anyone would care is because of the fact that it spreads diseases easier.
If you say so. 🙄
I honestly think its a mistranslation altogether and was meant to say man lie with a child. There are very compelling arguments that is what it meant too.
That's bull. The context doesn't suggest such. There's no reference to rape, if it would have been a child it would be the case. Also keep in mind it clearly said both should die so it isn't a child.
This is the case of two men or old enough having intimate relations.
I'm talking about specifically about sexual context, not war were soliders killed all their enemies etc.
Bruh, have you even read the Bible?
There was Herod's order to kill all babies under 2 years old, there is a whole passage about how parents should kill their children if they don't listen by having the village elders stone them to death. There was the time God killed all the first born sons of Egypt. Then there were these fun ones.
Kings 2:23-24
He went up from there to Bethel, and while he was going up on the way, some small boys came out of the city and jeered at him, saying, “Go up, you baldhead! Go up, you baldhead!” And he turned around, and when he saw them, he cursed them in the name of the Lord. And two she-bears came out of the woods and tore forty-two of the boys.
Psalm 137:9
Blessed shall he be who takes your little ones and dashes them against the rock!
And yeah a heck of a lot more of pregnant women being torn open during war.

The law probably still applied to lesbians as well. A lot of Christians think lesbians got off the hook just because the OT didn't really talk about it, but Paul said in Romans 1:26 "For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature."
Yeah but it didn't specifically mentioned women at all. It clearly said between two males.
Actually it did.
Leviticus 18:6-18
‘None of you shall approach anyone who is near of kin to him, to uncover his nakedness: I am the LORD.
The nakedness of your father or the nakedness of your mother you shall not uncover.
She is your mother; you shall not uncover her nakedness.
The nakedness of your father’s wife you shall not uncover; it is your father’s nakedness.
The nakedness of your sister, the daughter of your father, or the daughter of your mother, whether born at home or elsewhere, their nakedness you shall not uncover.
The nakedness of your son’s daughter or your daughter’s daughter, their nakedness you shall not uncover; for theirs is your own nakedness.
The nakedness of your father’s wife’s daughter, begotten by your father—she is your sister—you shall not uncover her nakedness.
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s sister; she is near of kin to your father.
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister, for she is near of kin to your mother.
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s brother.
You shall not approach his wife; she is your aunt.
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law—she is your son’s wife—you shall not uncover her nakedness.
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother’s wife; it is your brother’s nakedness.
You shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, nor shall you take her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter, to uncover her nakedness. They are near of kin to her. It is wickedness.
Yes in reference to incest since you brought it up, but doesn't address gay relations between women.
You're right. I don't think if two lesbians were caught having sex that they would get away with it. I think both of them would be put to death too.
Homosexuality has been with us since time immemorial. Jesus, (because you were putting this into the New Testament since Christians didn't exist in the Old Testament, never mentioned homosexuality in any of his dissertations. If there is any reference in the NT to homosexuality, it didn't come from Jesus.
I think it was assumed it would apply to women as well, but it is important to note that the requirement to kill people for those sort of things might never have been something people were supposed to take literally. In other parts of the Bible people get off with warnings or lighter punishments for things like eating blood or working on the Sabbath which in theory were capital crimes.
You would be better off asking this question in a different website or looking it up. I know there are many fine preachers that have discussed this topic.
Because the men who wrote the Old Testament were a bunch of pervs who thought that lesbian sex was really hot. They got off on it. Two men kissing? Nah!
I think it applied equally to both.
Problem is it doesn't say though. You are assuming.
Get them, HCG (Hispanic cool guy) let them have it... Darn assumers!!!
I think he’s talking about all gender
Because lesbians are hawt!!!
Maybe he wrote that before it happened….
