It is a reference to spiritual death (on judgement day) rather than an execution.
Any comments on the clear cut condemnation of gay behavior?
Itâs for God to judge and administer punishment. The rest of us have our own sins to worry about.
Jesus commands us to love sinners. Period.
Jesus said he came to bring sinners to repentance. Loving sinners doesnât mean giving approval for sins.
Doubtful since other areas of the Bible call for stoning, donât they?
Oh, I donât think there is much of an argument that the Bible doesnât call out homosexual behavior. But I donât think we should be defining our culture by the ramblings of nomadic Bronze Age people that attribute everything they donât understand to God.

It also means leaving judgement to God and loving them and treating them as Godâs children, as Jesus commands all over the NT.
Reject the scriptures at your own risk. Unrepentant sin is a no no.
As for stoning that was under the old law/old testament. Romans is in the new testament/new law. You should study in order to gain understanding of the scriptures.
Quoting verses and trying to bring folks to Christ are not judging.
You have a convoluted idea of "judgment.
No, they deserve death and Romans merely repeats the crime and punishment outlined in Leviticus. Nice try.
Did homosexuals deserve death by fire before Jesus?
Are yâall taking about Game of Thrones?

Doubling down on your lack of understanding and dodging the condemnation of gay behavior in those scriptures i see.
I donât get why so many gays,and gay defenders, utterly and totally reject biblical teaching on the subject.
Abstinance is the way to go for gays. Eternity is far more important than the short here and now.
Why do you reject Buddhist teaching on the subject? Why do you reject Islamic teaching in the subject? Because those arenât your faiths.
Why would I care at all what the Bible has to say about homosexuals?
Who did I accuse of judging in this thread?
What misunderstanding did I show? I simply reference the teachings of the Bible and if you think I reference them incorrectly feel free to correct me.
Does the same thing apply to people who are guilty of gluttony , or hedonism, or being unkind to their fellow man , or any number of other sins?
If my brother dies do I marry his wife?
And what if I donât want children with her?
Do I get smote?
What about just engaging in multiple marriages? And infidelity?
Who is commanded to cast the first stone?
The most devout, and pious, of course.
I predict these posts will remain unanswered.
