How about the Law of Moses (Jarom 1:5)? Contained within the law of Moses are many commandments, among them this one: (Old Testament | Leviticus 18:22) Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. The penalty, for unrepentant sinners was death: (Old Testament |

Hey, all l did was point out the penalty of the law--in the days of Moses and of the people in the Book of Mormon. Since we don't live under a theocratic government, death penalties for sabbath breaking and adultery does seem to be going way too far. Still, in most of the states of the union

That's somewhat of a fallacious generalization, John. Yes, it is difficult and it takes time. But you know what, in business management terms, we see change as requiring time. When a business changes its culture, it requires years for the complete change over. Behaviorists will tell you that

So, Tom, are you saying there is a link between playing the harmonica and being on death row? Maybe we should continue teaching kids to play the recorder so we don't raise a generation of harmonica playing thugs! ;-) As for me, I sing tenor. I've sung in two temple dedication choirs, in

Ron, why is it that you attack the commandments of God like this? Christ, to this day, condemns sexual impurity, even though he doesn't demand us to stone people to death. Some judgments MUST be made, otherwise you end up with no law, no order, only anarchy. Lehi taught there is right and
