All of Leviticus 20 basically states that people will die if they perform these "illegal" acts. Where are the dead people? Shouldn't God smite them down as soon as the act is complete? I understand there is no time limit stated, but it very clearly states death. So, if you believe every word of the bible and these people aren't being killed when they commit these sins, then doesn't that prove to you that the bible is inaccurate?

I'm sorry, but the interpretation question and response are not basic. I know you stated that it is not open to private interpretation, so where is the public interpretation? I suppose God has spoken to you directly and explained it? If not, then who interprets for you? But I'm sure you will simply state the option of God speaking to you as this can't be proven or dis-proven (is that a word??).

Sorry Kreater, I don't have time to respond to your posts right now. We'll get back it tomorrow  Afro
Yes, He does say that they are to be put to death.  But if either the fact of their sin could not be proved or the magistrates did not do their duty, God would take the work into his own hands: "I will cut him off, v. 3."  Just take note that (I believe) those that escape punishment from men, yet shall not escape the righteous judgments of God eventually; Some people unfortunately deceive themselves and promise themselves exemption of the punishment of sin. To them I ask, how can they escape God's wrath and judgment?

God knows all, so the sin shouldn't have to be proven. And I will say that a lot of these sins ARE proven as people have openly stated they are homosexual or people have been caught in the act, etc., yet they still live. It doesn't state in the bible that man is the one to put them to death (at least not in Leviticus 20...not that I saw). According to Genesis, God cleared out everyone before, so he could certainly be the one to put these people to death and not rely on man. I actually interpret these passages as God being the one to enact the death. He knows who is sinning, so it makes sense that he be the one to deliver death, especially since he is the ultimate judge. Plus, we all know that if we were to put people to death for these biblical crimes then we would end up in prison as they contradict our man-made laws. If you had proof that someone was breaking these rules, would you put them to death as the bible has instructed? If you believe God is to kill them then why doesn't God do it?

I'm not going to dispute the fact that God could eventually make them pay for their sins, but why wait? It doesn't state that in those passages. It states that if they do it they will be put to death. Sounds immediate to me.

I've never really read the bible, so I'm going through it now. I'm sure there will be other sections that state things about stoning or whatever and I will eventually get there to give more examples. Some other passages in Leviticus talk about not picking all the grapes in a vineyard and leaving a certain number for the poor. I'm assuming none of you own a vineyard, so you aren't in the position to violate that one, but do you drink wine or eat grapes? If so, then I'm guessing that you are supporting the breaking of this rule. I know I have no proof, but I'm pretty sure whoever owns those vineyards isn't following that rule.

There was another passage too that talked about planting trees for food. Anyone have a garden? Did you eat anything from the garden in the first three years? According to the bible it is uncircumcised. In the fourth year it has to be used to praise God and you can eat it in the fifth year.

Not sure what it means to "not round the corners of your head", but what about not being allowed to mar the corners of your beard? Are we to infer that everyone should have a beard? And if they do, they certainly aren't allowed to mar the corners.

Anyone have a tattoo? That's not permitted either. No markings on the skin. The bible doesn't state what the punishment is, but it's not allowed.

These are just a few examples of things I found.
