So in Brunei men who have gay sex get stoned. Seeing that Leviticus 20:13 tells us faggots should be put to death, should we as Christians follow along?

Besides, capital punishment is a reserved power only the state has not the citizenry. Vigilante justice always backfires.
You want to start enforcing the whole law? Did Christ die for nothing?

No, we should not follow OT law, we should follow the teachings of Jesus. Who says
Every position besides Christian reconstructionism is totally arbitrary.
Look up Rushdoony.
This argument could be levied against all execution. Should rapists be executed? Should murderers?
If "yes", you're intellectually inconsistent.
Should drunkards be executed? fornicators?
Early church fathers defended capital punishment and just war theory. Of course that is different from vigilante justice though.
We should be more concerned with saving souls. I'm not sure how much getting involved in executions (no matter how just the cause) helps with that. I'm more comfortable being on the outside of power, rather than recreating Israel. I hold up the first 3 centuries of the church more than any period, when we didn't have power. If anything, we should have the world show it's true colors - and get stoned by them instead.
Yes, i agree with that. But i find the claims of executing homosexuals dubious and erroneous.
