it's found in the old testament true, but if you are going to follow EVERYTHING in the bible you should also follow these things as well:
towns, which the Lord your God is giving you, a man or a woman who does what is evil in the sight of the Lord your God, by transgressing His covenant,
3 and has gone and
aserved other gods and worshiped them,
bor the sun or the moon or any of the heavenly host,
cwhich I have not commanded,
4 and if it is told you and you have heard of it, then you shall inquire thoroughly. Behold, if it is true and the thing certain that this detestable thing has been done in Israel,
5 then you shall bring out that man or that woman who has done this evil deed to your gates,
that is, the man or the woman, and
ayou shall stone them to
1death.
*basically you have to stone to death anyone who believes something different than you.
any man takes a wife and goes in to her and then
1turns against her,
14 and charges her with shameful deeds and
1publicly defames her, and says, ‘I took this woman,
but when I came near her, I did not find her a virgin,’
15 then the girl’s father and her mother shall take and bring out the
evidence of the girl’s virginity to the elders of the city at the gate.
16 “The girl’s father shall say to the elders, ‘I gave my daughter to this man for a wife, but he
1turned against her;
17 and behold, he has charged her with shameful deeds, saying, “I did not find your daughter a virgin.” But
1this is the evidence of my daughter’s virginity.’ And they shall spread the garment before the elders of the city.
18 “So
athe elders of that city shall take the man and chastise him,
19 and they shall fine him a hundred
shekels of silver and give it to the girl’s father, because he
1publicly defamed a virgin of Israel. And she shall remain his wife; he cannot
2divorce her all his days.
20 “But if this
1acharge is true, that the girl was not found a virgin,
21 then they shall bring out the girl to the doorway of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her
1to death because she has
acommitted an act of folly in Israel by playing the harlot in her father’s house; thus
byou shall purge the evil from among you.
*Okay, so everyone who has parents who had sex before they got married. (I'm imagining quite a few.), I hope you're prepared to have her stoned to death in front of your grandfather. (because we "have" to do everything in the bible
No one of illegitimate birth shall enter the assembly of the Lord; none of his
descendants, even to the tenth generation, shall enter the assembly of the Lord.
*I hope none of your ancesters were illigetimate, or you aren't making it to heaven
.
If there is a dispute between men and they go to
1court, and
2the judges decide their case,
band they justify the righteous and condemn the wicked,
2 then it shall be if the wicked man
1adeserves to be beaten, the judge shall then make him lie down and be beaten in his presence with the number of stripes according to his
2guilt.
*yeah that's definetely how court works.
there are a ton more verses I could show you, but I'm sure you get the point.
As for my personal opinion on homosexuality, I don't see anything at all wrong with it.
It isn't harming anyone, and I firmly believe that being gay is not a choice.
Being prejudiced against gays, is worse than being prejudice against someone for any sort of belief, and is on just about the same level. (The mean level, and the stupid level.) of racism.
