@medullah saidCertainly seems that way.
You can’t execute something that is already dead - sounds like a wind up

@kingdavid403 saidKing David - I'm impressed with your detective work, and thank you for taking the time and trouble to gather evidence.
I checked all english translations; only the King James version, and the 1867 John Nelson Darby translation have the word 'Jehovah' instead of 'The Lord' written in Psalm 83:18. All other translations have "The Lord' written. Can you share the problem you have with 'The Lord" instead of 'Jehovah' being written? Is this a religion thing? or something else? Why not one of the 7 other names used for God in the Bible? Thanks for your time.
@medullah saidFirst is of course Jesus making the claim that most people are on the road to destruction.
Which scripture (s) are you quoting?
@eladar saidAnd you read that as a promise that god will 'execute' the souls of homosexuals after they're dead?

Sexual immorality sends people to hell, since any homosexual sex is immoral sex according to the Bible, what I said is absolutely true.
@avalanchethecat saidIf you are on the road to destruction, you end up being destroyed.
And you read that as a promise that god will 'execute' the souls of homosexuals after they're dead?
@eladar saidSo that's a no then?
If you are on the road to destruction, you end up being destroyed.
@avalanchethecat saidInsert whatever you want for the eternal punishment.
So that's a no then?
@eladar saidFor ME to look forward to? Oh hilarity. Do you think I am hellbound because I think you're an a$$hole? You are truly special.
Insert whatever you want for the eternal punishment.
Something for you to look forward to according to Jesus.
@eladar saidNo one is asking you where you live.
The instructions to the ancient citizens of Israel? Sorry, I do not live there.
@eladar saidAre the Old Testament scriptures, which you refer to in your OP, still applicable today?
Insert whatever you want for the eternal punishment.
Something for you to look forward to according to Jesus.
@eladar saidBut you have to remember, the OT is actually listing what amounts for the maximum punishments, not punishments that are even mandated as having to be filled out to that extent.
Is there any way for modern Christians to deny that that they worship a God that ordered homosexuals executed simply for practicing homosexuality? In the New Testament the belief of homosexuality still being sinful and immoral. How do modern people claim to be Christians but deny scripture?
@velns saidThe ones that were not explicitly said as unimportant in the New Testament.

@medullah saidNo, see, now I have a problem with this. I have no problem translating YHWH as 'the Lord', but translating it as 'Jehovah' sounds like someone pulled that name out of their ass. Given the difficulties of the Hebrew language and its alphabet, translating it into YHWH is one thing, but taking that and trying to pronounce it in English is another. The Jews have no problem with a God with an unpronouncable name; it's only in English that we get uptight about 'needing' a pronouncable name for our God. Like we're going to 'call him out' or some nonsense. He is considered our Heavenly Father, and most people don't go around calling their father by his given name. So in our rush to give him a name, I think the likelihood that we have erred in this name is very high.
King David - I'm impressed with your detective work, and thank you for taking the time and trouble to gather evidence.
I have s number of issues with swapping "The Lord" for "Jehovah"
1) There is a basic principal that we see, a warning within Revelation.
Revelation 22:18,19
18. For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If ...[text shortened]... referred to Bale.
Could you elucidate on the other names of God that you are referring to please?
@eladar saidLet me just read again what you have written here..
The ones that were not explicitly said as unimportant in the New Testament.
