    “ ‘If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.
    Leviticus 20:13 NIV

    That's the Bible.... Your eyes are as good as mine.

    Does the Old Testament still apply? Thought there was a new covenant based on forgiveness and mercy for sins? Is the book of Leviticus even talking about literal death or is it speaking in a figurative sense of spiritual death as the bible often does?

    Love thy neighbor and let he who is without sin cast the first stone. Hmm. Seems to be at odds with Leviticus. Wonder why?

    "The wages of sin are death" wasn't talking about the act of killing. It's talking about the fact that your death on earth will be final and you will not inherit the kingdom of God.
    So you're saying the first few chapters of your book are just filler?
    No. The purpose of the Old Testament is to illustrate the old covenant held by the Hebrews, which involved animal sacrifice to atone for sins. It contains sections where the New Covenant is hinted at through divine prophecy. It also serves to illustrate Jewish history and culture. You need all that to truly understand the purpose/background behind the New Covenant, which was to extend salvation beyond the Jews to the Gentiles.

    Members of the Jewish faith do not recognize Jesus or the new covenant. They follow the Torah, which is contained in the first five books IIRC.
    Just like you truly need to understand the Quran. Rather then trusting your biased news source.
    Prove me wrong with your deep understanding of Islamic law and theology!
    That's the point. You know nothing about the Quran yet are saying it's the Qurans fault for the violence. But your own Bible has similar violent passages that can be misconstrued.
    Jesus never murdered anyone and he wasn't a power hungry warlord.
    Crack a book J.

    One doesn't have to understand the Quran to understand that the people that take their Islam seriously seem to agree with Js interpretation.
    Yet there more peaceful Muslims then there are total Christians in this world.

    To answer your question amid this riveting religious studies seminar, there are ten countries that have a death penalty for homosexuality. Nine of them are Islamic states, the other is Nigeria, which is more or less split between Christianity and Islam. My source is not Trump sanctioned though, so feel free to dismiss it.

    The more you know™.

    It's almost as if radical islam is a bipartisan issue that doesn't get treated as such.

    1. That isn't a book.
    2. The criticism of Mohammed article is about 4x the length of the main one. Wonder why that is?

    It's almost as if there are fucked up people that use religion as a reason to murder others. America would never do that tho.

    Oh wait.
