I am continuing to read through my Bible and today I was up to Leviticus Chapter 20 and v.13.
"If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their own blood will be on their own heads."
I looked into the Application Bible for help here....
"This list of commands against sexual sins includes extremely harsh punishments. Why? God had no tolerance for such acts for the following reasons: (1) they shatter the mutual commitment of married partners (2) they destroy the sanctity of the family (3) they twist people's mental well being and, (4) they spread disease. Sexual sin has always been widely available, but the glorification of sex between people who are not married to each other often hides deep tragedy and hurt behind the scenes. When society portrays sexual sins as attractive, it is easy to forget the dark side. God has reasons for prohibiting sexual sins: He loves us and wants the very best for us."
Do you think God has changed His mind on this?
Have a great day,
Peter Clark.
