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)

Bible economy — the death sentence for filthy sodomites.

Still in effect. It’s never been repealed by God.

Agreed, the Bible is very plain, homosexual acts are an abomination.

However, the Church has never been obligated to push for the civil laws of ancient Israel to be put into effect. Israel, through Judah, the theocratic nation, ceased to exist in 586 BC.

There are a number of death penalty offenses in the Old Testament—part of the civil laws of ancient theocratic Israel. Including for adultery, worshiping idols, and even cursing ones parents. Since theocratic Israel doesn’t exist, those civil laws also—are not binding on the rest of us, as we are not ancient theocratic Israel.

Yes homosexuality is wrong, and a terrible sin. NO, we are not obligated to execute people for it.
