Correct, as of June 24, 2022, “it was never a right”.

Are you under the impression that there were no laws before Scripture. Many laws that we have discussed were in the Hammurabi Code, hundreds of years before the Christian, Hebrew and Muslim scriptiures.
Of course there were laws. They just weren’t given directly by God.

I don't know about Scripture exactly,

Deuteronomy 7:3–4 (ESV) You shall not intermarry with them, giving your daughters to their sons or taking their daughters for your sons, for they would turn away your sons from following me, to serve other gods. Then the anger of the Lord would be kindled against you, and he would destroy you …

Then you may want to try to understand it, because it doesn’t appear that you do.
I understand that you don't understand it.
John 3:17
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved

Unfortunately that was abused by the racists.

What does that have to do with Him having all authority in heaven and earth?

He has all authority but He is not a dictator that suppresses the free will of people. He lovingly extends His grace to all mankind. Mankind can choose to obey or to disobey and He allows it.Judgment is coming upon the whole world eventually. But now the world has His grace.

He is a dictator because He knows what’s best.


Do homage to the Son, that He not become angry, and you perish in the way,
For His wrath may soon be kindled.
How blessed are all who take refuge in Him!

Do you have any children? If yes, do they always obey your very good instructions? If they disobey, do you still love them? Do you forgive them?

Who’s afraid of homosexuality?
Homophobia - an irrational fear of, aversion to, or discrimination against homosexuality or people who are identified or perceived as being lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender. It includes antipathy, contempt, prejudice, aversion, and hatred of homosexuals


That said anyone tossing around the word abomination ends up sounding pretty scared.

1. it was never a right
2. it was not taken away
3. it has been left to the people in each state to decide.

I guess Roe v Wade was never overturned because it never actually happened, hmmm?
