Is punishing homosexuality by death "evil"?

Or does it depend on the period of history and the local culture?

Same question for things like adultery, blasphemy, disobedience to parents, lying about being a virgin, etc.

Yes it's evil....per Jesus.

Was it "evil" prior to him saying that?

A modern day Jew, who only believes in the OT might say yes.

A Christian would likely say that the words of Jesus 'outranks' the OT and render that question moot.

In other words, what is "evil" - in this instance - depends on the period of history and the local culture and/or religion.

If the Israeli government ~ citing Hebrew scripture ~ was punishing homosexuality with the death penalty, would you perceive it as an "evil" law?

You won’t catch any salmon with this bait while I’m scaring them all under the rocks with my herring spinner.

The Moslems in Saudi still behead their citizens in public for some of this stuff.

According to Allah that is the just punishment . They are only following the will of their god . I will be starting a thread criticizing Islam soon .
