(Leviticus 24:16)
“And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be
put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as the
stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name
of the LORD, shall be put to death.”

(Romans 1:26-32) Although Jesus never
mentioned homosexuality and got along with everyone, Paul says that gays
and lesbians deserve death. (How come Christians condemn gays but not
adultery? Do I hear the word hypocrite?)

According to Numb 35:31 there are criminals which
“deserves to die.” In the Old Testament the following crimes
deserved the death penalty:
I bet that most of you deserve to be stoned to
death
1. Murder (Gen 9:6, Ex 21:12,
Numb 35:16-21).
2. Abuse of father or mother (Ex 21:15).
3. Speaking a curse over parents (Ex 21:17).

5. Breaking the Sabbath (Ex 31:14, Numb 15:32-36).
6. Practicing magic (Ex 22:18). You mean we have
to kill Penn & Teller?
7. Fortune telling and practicing sorcery (Lev 20:27).
8. Religious people who mislead others to fall away (Deut
13:1-5, 18:20).
