Actually it's not. That was in the Old Testament in which the people were given the Law. They were also given Judges to judge them. The reason for the Law was as part of a covenant with God's people so they would remain Holy. Through the Holy blood line, the Messiah would be born.

After the human Birth of Jesus, the Law was fulfilled and our sins were atoned for. "The Law is a curse." The Law was not destroyed, but it WAS fulfilled by Jesus. We no longer have a man to judge us under the Law, nor do we have a man to put mankind to death for adultery, homosexuality, etc. Our system of laws in this country are based on Judeo-Christian values which is is why we have capital punishment for capital offense.

That aside, Jesus will be our Witness at the Judgement; we will either be given death and eternal damnation or written into the Book of Life and granted immortal life with our Father in Heaven.

Just because you don't like what is written in the Bible and take issue with God's Word and Law.......doesn't mean that the Word is flawed.

And to answer your snarky question posed to another poster.....I believe that homosexuals should be shown the Truth and the Light so they may repent of their sins and be free of the death that awaits in their current sin. If they do not repent and turn from their sin, then Lord's Will be done; but it is not for me to judge them nor to put them to death.

"And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell."

“After the human Birth of Jesus, the Law was fulfilled and our sins were atoned for.”

Like pretty much everything else you wrote, this sentence is completely at odds with Christian dogma. According to our faith, it was not the birth of Jesus which atoned for all sins, but his death. And of course, the incident with Mary Magdalene occurred prior to His death. What you wrote is simply a rationalization to overcome the uncomfortable implication that a passage from the old testament was not actually written by God, and in fact states something that is anathema to the teachings of Jesus.
