You asked me my definition and my source. I gave both.
But your supposed definition can’t be found in your source. You made it up. Why can’t you admit that?

Why is it wrong to steal cars today?

Because it is a violation of the law.

Indeed - God's Law
1. Thou shalt not kill
2. Thou shalt not steal

Even if man were to pass a law in direct violation of God's Law - God's Law would overrule since it is a higher authority - which means God will call violators into account and apply penalties regardless of man's law(s) to the contrary.

No, governed by state statute. If the police prosecute you for car theft, it will be because you broke state law. But the Bible doesn’t condemn the theft of intellectual property, even though written works existed in Biblical times.

Bible writers quote from other Bible writers all the time and in many cases do not give credit in the quote of them. Man made conventions about plagiarism are not necessarily God's way of wording it or drawing the line for stealing vs not stealing.

And many of the laws related to literary footnotes/quotes/use/fair-use etc are very recent in human history -- so not expecting to find any footnotes in the Bible.

Which is what I’ve been saying—intellectual property existed in Biblical times; Intellectual property rights did not.

Wrong. What we now call Intellectual Property existed in Biblical times, but there was nothing wrong with stealing it.

all you need now is proof from Scripture.

I can hardly wait.

If I am not mistaken ( which I very well could be) before "roe v Wade it was a state by state issue.
Yes. But current Republicans are taking a much more radical approach. Before Rowe v Wade, people went to other states. Now state governments are going try to stop that. And the GOP is proposing to make it illegal everywhere if they take control of Congress.

If we went back to befor Rowe v Wade, I think people would learn to live with it. But I don’t think that’s what is going to happen.

The Supreme Court has voted to strike down the landmark Roe v. Wadedecision, according to an initial draft majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito circulated inside the court and obtained by POLITICO.

The draft opinion is a full-throated, unflinching repudiation of the 1973 decision which guaranteed federal constitutional protections of abortion rights and a subsequent 1992 decision – Planned Parenthood v. Casey – that largely maintained the right. “Roe was egregiously wrong from the start,
Exclusive: Supreme Court has voted to overturn abortion rights, draft opinion shows

Yeah it was leaked so the left had time to stop it. I believe in abortion the case of medical problems or rape victims, they should have that opption, but as a matter of convience and using it as contraceptive is evil

Definitions come from places other than dictionaries. The words you said were in the Old Testament are not there. No matter what they are based on they are your words.

Except that's not exactly what they were referring to. They were referring to was not having just one sex partner.

Romans 1:26-27 said:
For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged natural relations for that which is contrary to nature, 27 and likewise the men, too, abandoned natural relations with women and burned in their desire toward one another, males with males committing shameful acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.

Um, these words refer exactly to homosexuality in my view.

I can't support this. While I would greatly have preferred for that case not to have been decided like it was, once it has been settled law for fifty years, it should be left as is.

Slavery. That was "settled law" for more than a hundred years.

You didn’t ask for a definition. But to be clearer, it’s not a definition, but my understanding from scripture.

I would not support such a ban. As it relates to states keeping people from seeking an abortion where it is illegal in their state that would not be the first time states have done that.

It should be, though.
I would not want that and I do not think you would either seeing as how every time a religion based government has been tried in this fallen world it has been shown to fail BADLY.
