Q&A: Why doesn't the death penalty for homosexuality apply today? — Old Testament law and Christ

@whoalaura @StothersRyan Yes, you are correct. Many false prophets do exactly this. Prophets carried the death penalty for false prophecy because of this. When God inspires someone to write scripture, it is self-evident, internally consistent, and no...
