Allin,
Very true. I can't add another word. Thank you.
Can you please give me your opinion on why God told or justified all those things I mentioned when He knew such acts will be disgusting in the eyes and hearts of modern men?
Please grab your Bible and pay attention here. When you read Bible passages I share here, ask the Holy Spirit to
open your eyes and show you 'what lies beneath' the words on the Pages.
Two leading reasons God led or justified things in the past He wouldn't <seem to> justify today:
1.
Firstly, to mete out judgment is still God's Nature, therefore, He still does it. God's judgments are not past tense, not even in this age of Grace. Knowing that debates would rise about an OT 'judgmental God' vs. an NT 'gracious God', God gave us the story of Ananias and Sapphira at the very beginning of the Church age of Grace. (Read Acts 5:1-11.) There, a husband and wife died separately (which equals not just two deaths but
two instances of judgment with death). This couple committed no extravagant sin in the least; not even close. But God,
protecting sheep who were vulnerable to the smallest bit of leaven, killed this couple dead. The obvious question now is "Why doesn't God judge people this way since that time in the NT?" God
is. He never changes; it is because of the changes or lack of change in us that we see little of both the kindness and severity of God
today. In other words, if right this instant just one group of Christians (small or large) again allowed the Holy Spirit to enter and preside over affairs among them and a wolf in sheep's clothing tried to attach himself to that group of Christians with ill intentions, you will see God's judgments of various kinds (whether repentance, exposure and ejection, sickness, or death) come against those wolves for the sake of the sheep.
You can count on it (take that one to the bank). Rules change drastically when God is allowed rulership in any circumstance, home, business, or church.

Secondly, God knows that the Fall made us fall also in intelligence and self-control. The Bible says God's ways are far above ours. This is true in far more ways than just a few. God allowed, led, and justified things in the past that He <seemingly> doesn't justify today because He knew that the Fall made us... inferior-minded. We were bent to sin, and if He punished us according to our sins, He would have to wipe everyone off this planet time and time again. (Read Ps. 103:11-14.) Jesus' response concerning divorce is the perfect answer as to why God allows or justifies (seemingly) things in the past that He <seemingly> would not justify or allow today. Jesus said Moses permitted divorce "because of the hardness of your hearts". (Read Num. 22 and Matt. 19:1-10 to see how God 'tweaks rules' because of man's fallen inferior state of mind. After Jesus shared God's concessions, He doubled back and reminded the people of God's perfect will which we are not able to keep and therefore the concessions.) "Hardness of heart" is not just stubbornness. It also means 'bull-headedness' which is talking about an animal-type state of mind rather than human. God allowed divorce, polygamy, marriage to underage kids, slavery, racism, and all kinds of evil and injustice, because if He meted out judgment for these things, there would be no man left on earth. "Because of the hardness of your hearts" also means "because your heart is bent toward (
must commit) evil". If a holy God was to 'contend' with people who
must commit sin, we'd all be dead.
