Re: ahmanson, etc.

Even among theonomists there is disagreement about what laws to apply. And
the interpretation of these laws.

Exodus 21:17, "And he who curses his father or his mother shall surely be
put to death."

Some interpret this to mean that any disobedence within the family is
potentially a sin that can be punished by execution, it includes
homosexuality, and adultery within some theonomists interpretation.
