What does your translation say about this verse?In the Torah, the primary toevah is avodah zara, foreign forms of worship, and most other toevot flow from it. The Israelites are instructed not to commit toevah because other nations do so. Deuteronomy 18:9-12 makes this quite clear:
When you come into the land that YHVH your God gives you, do not learn to do the toevot of those nations. Do not find among you one who passes his son or daughter through the fire; or a magician; or a fortune teller, charmer, or witch… because all who do these things are toevah to YHVH and because of these toevot YHVH your God is driving them out before you.
Elsewhere, Deuteronomy 7:25-26 commands:
[Y]ou shall burn the statues of their gods in fire. Do not desire the silver and gold on them and take it onto yourself, else you be snared by it, for it is a toevah to YHVH your God. And you shall not bring toevah to your home
Leviticus 20:13If 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.
Yes Leviticus does say that, it cannot be clearer, however I don't think anyone is advocating killing LGBT people, we're just saying that they have no right to so militantly attempt to force their agenda, as the majority of people aren't LGBT, so we have a tiny minority getting all Bolshie.
The only group who actually kill LGBT for being the way they are are Radical Islamists, as we witness with the hangings, throwing off tall buildings etc.
When the Koran says to kill people, this is "proof" that Muslims are all bad and evil. When the Bible says it, people dismiss it.
The fundamental difference though, is that the Radical Islamists are actually KILLING people for being LGBT....we're NOT advocating killing them, probably because we're more civilised in The West than those stuck in the 7th Century Mindset.
IF someone in The West began saying we should kill LGBT for being LGBT, well I certainly would have a huge problem with that and would suggest they need locking up.
Yes, radical Muslims are killing people, supposedly in the name of their religion.
And they are RADICAL MUSLIMS. They're not all Muslims.
Some Christians do kill in the name of their religion and they justify it. Does this mean ALL Christians are bad and evil?
You say "we're more civilised", well certainly some people are, not all. There are plenty of people, I think you were one of them, who advocated killing a lot of people because they were dangerous.
