It has come to my attention that certain forms of speech condemning homosexuality might soon be prohibited by law in the United States, and considered "hate speech", presumably including articles that someone might post on a website.

In preemptive defiance of this unjust nullity of a law, I would like to share my interpretation of Leviticus 20:13:

?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.?

I understand this to mean that homosexual sex is such an outrageous violation of the Law of God, that it mandates a penalty of death, and that there is no blood-guilt imputed when putting homosexuals to death in accordance with this law. Furthermore, I believe that the Law of God is eternal and immutable, and supersedes all earthly man-made laws.

Of course I wouldn't want anyone to attempt to enforce this law without due process by an established civil magistrate, but I would support such action if it were enacted by civil statute. I don't harbor any ill will towards homosexuals, but regard them as suffering from a sinful addiction, needing repentance and deliverance, as we all do from sinful behaviors. Those who have committed homosexual acts can be forgiven by Christ as well as others.

I alone assume full personal responsibility for my statement, and do not speak on behalf of any associate or organization.
