Just to point out some other interesting Leviticus facts:
Lev 18:19 requires the same penalty for men who have relations with their wives during their period as for men who have relations with men. Lev 18:20 requires the same penalty for men who have relations with their neighbour's wife.
Et Cetera.
When you ridiculous people start calling down the same penalties and rabid hatred for people who commit those same violations of the purity codes maybe you'll get someone to listen to your hate-filled words regarding homosexuality. Which thankfully isn't against the Bible's teachings. Nor Christ's.

  Here is the fatal flaws in your argument. Leviticus 18 gives a list of the Lords commandments to the Jews and at the end of the list, gives the punishment for all of the crimes given in Leviticus 18.
  The punishment: "For whosoever commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.
  This covers crimes such as lying with an adulterer, incest, sex during the 'period', taking the Lords name for profane reasons and lying with animals. It does not say the punishment is death as it does with homosexuality.

    Also, you failed to answer my question so I will do so for you.
    Leviticus 20:13 says that if a man were to lie with a man as he does a woman than they have both commited an abomination and they surely must be put to death. Combined with the fact that Leviticus also states that GOd said these punishments also apply to those who have commited the crimes in their soul, I would say you are again incorrect.
    Furthermore, wearing two fabics does not carry a punishment. It just means that you are temporarily unclean.

      "Leviticus 20:13 says that if a man were to lie with a man as he does a woman than they have both commited an abomination and they surely must be put to death."
      This is what it says in English. The Hebrew is much more clear as to what 'action' is specifically barred.

        That is a cop out as the same book says that these laws go for people who commit these acts in their souls.
