Still waiting for constitutional republic to show up in the Bible, ya secularist humanist fool.
I love TOL. A guy who in another thread gave numerous excuses for a brother and sister to 'marry' calls me a "secular humanist fool".

This post shows you know nothing of Early American Government.

Again, you have to study up on Jewish ceremonial, civil and moral laws before you'll be able to understand the meaning behind these verses.
Ephesians 2:15
Galatians 3:25
The civil laws of the Old Testament were never intended to apply to other cultures or other times (example: Leviticus 20:13)
Homosexuality is no greater sin than any other. Through Christ, any sin can be forgiven. Salvation is available to everyone by faith (John 3:16). And when that salvation is received, the indwelling Holy Spirit will provide the means to overcome sin through a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17).

Ok, I broke my earlier rule, I copied and pasted.
You can talk about the Constitution all you want, but the fact is that the Constitution either authorized the government we have today, or it is powerless to stop it.

Both of the passages you quoted were directed at Gentile Christians, not Jews. For Christians, the Law has no power. However, that does not mean that the Law is no more, that the penalties are no more.
You should read Galatians 2. It'll help your understanding of the two covenants God has given to two different groups of people. Or get Bob Enyart's "The Plot".
Do you think that all sins are equal?
The government we have today doesnt follow it, thats the problem.
Yup, still waiting on at least 5 answers for at least 5 different questions.Bruh, you're about to go on the ignore list. You dodge every single question that's asked of you. You've been asked by me and that other person numerous times to show where a constitutional republic is authorized in the Bible. You just plainly refuse.
You're also obsessed with incest and homosexuality. It doesn't matter what the topic is, whether it's taxes, foreign policy, or anything else, you want to talk about incest and homosexuality. It's off-putting. It doesn't need to come up in literally every thread on here.
Bruh, you're about to go on the ignore list...

Promises, promises. You godless Libertarians are always getting my hopes up.
So the Constitution is powerless to stop the sort of government we have today. So what good is it?
We may as well be talking about ancient Egyptian laws or the founding documents of Atlantis, because they have about as much impact on our day to day lives as the Constitution does.

If it's not about incest, homosexuality or Thomas Jefferson, this guy isn't interested. He's a strange person.
Your ignorance of Jewish ceremonial, civil and moral laws is once again duly noted.
It doesn't matter what I think, it's what Jesus Christ says that matters.
Are all sins forgiven for repentant sinners?
Laws on murder fail to stop murder, so what good are they? What an ignorant statement.
Again you show you don't even get it and have no clue of what you speak about.
I don't have to know that stuff, because it says at the very beginning of Galatians and Ephesians that Paul is writing to Gentiles. Reply to my second previous comment with that in mind.
Read John 19:11.
Yes.

So are you, who has outright denied that government is ordained by God and denied multiple things the bible says expressly - maybe you need to spend some more time in the word.
I think you and ACW may not understand this, but Jesus didn't write the Constitution. The founding father were not the apostles. God never authorized any form of government except for monarchy. If you like the Constitution, that's fine with me. I don't insist that everyone share every one of my opinions. You can like the Constitution all you want. What's troubling is that you seem to be asserting that the Constitution was somehow divinely inspired. If that's not your contention, I'm glad, but that's how it's coming off.
