Should it be illegal to be a Homosexual that engages in homosexuality?

[Mark45]

Should the law change to make it illegal to practice homosexuality in USA? Should it become a federal law ?

On earth in man's government(s), that's up to the one's in power.

It will always have a death sentence though (on Judgment Day)....

No.

Why should it be?

No, and no.

Why should it be?

Because homosexuality is the pet sin of many Christians. Nevermind adultery, being addicted to inappropriate contentography, and premarital sex. You know, the sexual sins that most Christians who rile against homosexuality could be guilty of themselves and wouldn't want to be judged for. On a side note, there's research that suggests there's a link between being anti-gay and being a closet homosexual.

SimplyMe asked you a serious question. All you are going to do is mark it "funny" and move on?

You know, the sexual sins that most Christians who whine about homosexuality could be guilty of themselves. If we were to outlaw adultery and imprison adulterers, then the current President and his third wife and former mistress would go to prison. I doubt his loyal conservative supporters who rile against homosexuality would ever want that. On a side note, there's some research that suggests there's a link between being anti-gay and being a closet homosexual.

I understand that but was curious what his reasoning was for making the thread -- I thought maybe he'd surprise me.

What good could possibly come from that? And my answer is No!

The Bible contains six admonishments to homosexuals and 362 admonishments to heterosexuals. That doesn't mean that God doesn't love heterosexuals. It's just that they seem to need more supervision.

That will never happen in the US.

Remember -- sin has been around for a long time.
And many love it.

Not even realizing at times who their father really is.

I second that.

Besides, unless I'm mistaken, giving something a
"Funny" rating that wasn't intended to be funny is
against forum rules as it's a form of goading.

Yes, of course. No society can improve upon the laws intended for ancient Israel which God gave through His faithful servant Moses. They were to be carried out through the judges, not people taking the law into their own hands. You see in Judges 19 how in this society there was such peace and safety that one rape and murder was a shocking, unprecedented practice which had not been heard of among them throughout several generations. If our society had faithfully enforced laws against homosexuality it would have never taken off and grown like it has (though it hasn't done so still to the point the media would have you believe).

"Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination." (Leviticus 18:22)
"If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them." (Leviticus 20:13)

So don’t do it. Let God take care of those who do. What’s it to ya?

I don't know that it is the place of the Church to enforce Christian morality on a godless society. There was a time when there were so-called "Christian" countries. That has changed dramatically. Will changing the law help? I doubt it. There were homosexuals when it was illegal.

What does bother me is the invasion of homosexual propaganda into education and public institutions. The homosexual lobby does not want Christians pointing out that homosexuality is sin. How long before any condemnation of any sin is called "hate speech"? In Australia it is not permitted to call children sinners in public schools. You have to be careful that you don't upset the kid who just punched out a teacher. You might hurt his/her feelings.

"Law does not change the heart. It may restrain the heartless." It's too late. Christians are supposed to be salt (preservative) and light (truth and reality). The church has been too busy fighting with itself to be an effective witness to the world. You won't push the toothpaste back in this particular tube. Now Christians are dismayed at the decline in moral standards, or alternately, have sunk down in morality with the world. It is not the fault of the world.

Jesus is first concerned with what is going on in our hearts . . . how we can do it in our hearts, by lusting > whether it is homo- or hetero- > lust is degrading from love.

And no law can make you love.

But I think you need to have laws to help make an issue of wrong things, and to help younger people to know right from wrong.

So, I can see the point of making gay stuff illegal, but also other stuff.

Should the law change to make it illegal to practice homosexuality in USA?

I would say not by itself. You need a whole culture of honoring God and how to make a marriage work, among other things, so young people can see the right way to go, and not only be told the wrong ways.

There is above a fifty-percent divorce rate in the United States. To me, this means a number of people have not grown up learning how to love and how to select the right person to marry and how to relate well in marriage. And such marriages, then, can produce children who do not know what they are doing in relationships. And these can then go on to wrong stuff.

So, if you don't like the product, deal with the source.

Make parents civilly and legally liable for abusing their children with divorce and their fighting and arguing and other bad example. Prosecute the people who pronounced them without being able to tell the difference between those who belong with each other, and those who don't. And sue the organizations that ordained those unqualified to evaluate and pronounce couples. And, yes, there are families established in churches, who have used political power to pressure ministers to pronounce their family members and friends who are not suitable for marriage > put those family politicians in jail > for conspiracy to weaken the United States, by promoting children who do not know how to love, before they are rightly prepared for marriage.

Then make a law against gay stuff?

Should the law change to make it illegal to practice homosexuality in USA? Should it become a federal law ?

No, for three reasons.

It has been done in other countries and failed or brought about pain and suffer to the point of was repealed.

There is nothing to gain by making it illegal.

And what would be the punishment anyway?

Depends on what you think the purpose of government and law is in your society?

If you think the purpose of government and law is to enforce a moral code, then you better make sure that the government and law makers agree with your own moral code and will always agree with your own moral code.
e.g. If you are a Christian of a particular denomination you better hope that your government will always be Christians from your particular denomination.
You would also need to be happy forcing Christian values and morals onto all people in your country regardless if they are not Christians. (Your country will become a theocracy).
If your country somehow gets a non Christian as a leader, perhaps a Muslim or an Atheist, you will need to conform to their morals otherwise be charged with committing a crime. e.g. you might need to pray to Allah 5 times a day, you might need to observe Ramadan, you might not be allowed to observe Christmas.

But if you don't want to force religious beliefs and morals on society, then how will you justify a law against homosexuality? Does this make society dangerous? Does it harm you, what your neighbor is doing in the privacy of their own home?

How would you observe and enforce this law?
Would you put cameras into everyone's bedrooms with a link to the police offices where people watch you through the night?
