If you tell me a bit about it I'll try to source it from my side of the
Pacific Pond. I'm still interested in the response to the other verses I
cited, as one of them specifically mentions "homosexual offenders".

Most of which make perfect sense to me. James asked me (in round about terms)
why I didn't practice all the Levitical laws. These laws were given to a
society, and for all the laws to be kept, all of society must actively keep
them. Living in today's society it would be physically impossible for me to
keep them all, because society has absolutely no intention of helping me out.
Anyone out there want to walk through the middle of a carved up ox with me?
How much does an ox cost these days anyway?

Probably because most Churches don't have farmers in the congregation? I'm
being facetious here ;-) I'm not agriculturally inclined, so I can't answer
that one. I'll find out though if you like.
