It wasn't.
This article says otherwise:
That's just your subjective opinion.
And should be prohibited.
God, not "the far religious right," calls it an abomination.
That you have a problem with Him calling it such puts you in the wrong.
By "they" I presume you mean "perverts."
They do indeed have the same right that you and I do, that being, the right to a fair and speedy trial.
If they are caught doing homosexual acts, then they should be tried, and if found guilty on the testimony of two or three witnesses, they should be put to death.
So you cannot name one person within the movement who condemns homosexuality?
As per my previous, you are, demonstrably, an advocate for abortion.
Unless you have recently become anti-abortion without exceptions...?
Correct.
The reason we don't put babies, infants, on trial like we do the rest of society is that babies and infants are incapable of committing a crime.
Hence, the statement "if a baby commits a crime worthy of the death penalty, he should be put to death" is true, though it is a feat that is imperpetratable (I know, not a real word, but you get the idea) to begin with.
Boy, that sentence (pardon the pun) threw you into a tizzy!
Obviously, a baby will never commit a crime worthy of the death penalty, because babies are incapable of such things.
That you got all worked up about it was hilarious, though.
I did give you verses. A long time ago, to be fair, but I did give you verses.
You rejected them out of hand because you didn't like that they didn't explicitly specify children, when the context necessarily implies all who are capable of committing crime.
Of course, if you redefine who is capable of committing crime, then you can simply hand-wave away any verses you don't like, but it doesn't change the fact that you've moved the goalposts.
The verses state that anyone who does such a thing should be punished, and that no pity should be given to them.
The law is the application of the golden rule, "Treat others how you wish to be treated."
Or, more accurately, "You will be treated the way you treat others."
If you bear false witness, what you sought to have done to your neighbor will be done to you. (This is the Biblical standard for punishing a false witness, unlike moder law books.)
If you take someone's possessions, you will have your possessions taken from you. (Restitution)
If you harm someone, you will be harmed. (Eye for eye, hand for hand, foot for foot, tooth for tooth, etc.)
If you take someone's life, your life will be taken from you. (life for life)
The Bible also states that attempting to commit a crime is to be punished as successful.
Thus, if a child commits a crime, stabbing someone in an attempt to kill them, then they should have their life taken from them, and it only makes sense that what they tried to do to their victim should be done to them, for "you will be treated the way you treat others."
How about empathy, compassion, for the victim of such a crime?
Yup. And I stand by it.
If a homeless person refuses to work, he is, by definition, a bum.
If he's not refusing to work, then he's not a bum.
So what's the problem?
If they aren't refusing to work, then all the more compassion to them.
If they ARE refusing to work, then they deserve no pity, and they should eat their own bread.
For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat. For we hear that there are some who walk among you in a disorderly manner, not working at all, but are busybodies. Now those who are such we command and exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ that they work in quietness and eat their own bread.
