Ok, I'm against this, but while reading about the the OT vs NT debate and what is and isn't part of the law, I came across this report. He was gay, and he was killed for it, which is what God put forth to Moses among other crimes.
You all know the verse by now:
Lev. 20:13
"If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them."
AND
Timothy 1:811
But we know that the Law is good, if one uses it lawfully, realizing the fact that law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers and immoral men and homosexuals and kidnappers and liars and perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching, according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted.
Though people have said, even here that the Jesus' coming nullified the old covenant, but from Jesus' own mouth, he states the law (OT) is still in place until the world ends:
Matthew 5:17-18
Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke or a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.
So I put forth these questions based on the above for the purposes of discussion, because I know there are some here who think that OT is still in place and those that don't:
A) While it is against current eathly law, is it against biblical law?
B) If the OT is void and punishment is no longer valid, why fight their desire to marry, adopt, serve in the military or teach?
C) If OT is void, why are we christians still concerned with the 10 Commandments?
