The Daily Beast reports:
Even the odious Sen. Ted Cruz expressed outrage at Uganda’s draconian new anti-LBGTQ statutes. But Cruz’s rare moment of moral truth was immediately challenged by the same pastor who delivered the invocation at Gov. Ron DeSantis’ second inauguration.
“Tell it to God, Ted,” Tom Ascol of Grace Baptist Church in Cape Coral, Florida, tweeted in reply. Ascol, who was a close second in a runoff election for president of the Southern Baptist Convention last year, proceeded to cite scripture.
“If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them. —Leviticus 20:13.” Cruz did not reply to Ascol’s tweet, which certainly seemed to suggest that the execution of gay people had a biblical blessing.
Read the full article. Ascol last appeared on JMG in May 2022 when he called for murder charges against women who have abortions.
Tell it to God, Ted.
“If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.”

“Criminalization of mothers” is newspeak. Don’t be misled. Only actions can be crimes, not people. And the act of murder is a crime regardless of how old the murdered is or how sympathetic the murderer is. https://t.co/E1Re0B4DSU

It was an honor to pray for Governor Ron DeSantis today at his inauguration. He is God’s servant for the good of Floridians. Romans 13:4; 1 Timothy 2:1-2.

Tell this to Trump, @tomascol
“If a man commits adultery with another man’s wife—with the wife of his neighbor—both the adulterer and the adulteress are to be put to death.”
Leviticus 20:10the Bible is clear. https://t.co/G70bJGTu5z

This pastor explaining why homosexuals should be put to death is exactly why people are leaving Christianity in droves. https://t.co/Iqs9uPFopX
