>>3874252Matthew 5:17
“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."
The Law is the penalty of death as stated for all sins in Leviticus. The wages of sin is death. Jesus' crucifixion removed that penalty, but the laws still stand.
So in Leviticus 20 we have:
13 If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.
( This is the same book that condemns other sexual impurity, with the same penalty, for anyone who hasn't read it. Cheating was also punishable by death. )
Then the crucifixion happens.
Then in the NT we have 1 Corinthians
9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous[b:lit] will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality,[c] 10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
Which is a whole list of things considered sinful against God, but notice there is no demand for the death penalty anymore.
Not arguing, btw, just stating what the text says.
"Pastors" and "priests" that champion homosexuality and trans nonsense are heretics.
