The penalties for both crimes were death under the Law of Moses. Homosexuality is specifically condemned in the NT more than incest is specifically condemned, if I remember correctly. We should deliver unrepentant sinners (of this caliber) and false teachers (like Alexander) over to Satan. I think a careful study of I Coritnthians 5 does show that to a certain extent, we should be "policement for Jesus." Of course, delivering over to Satan is the last step, after the church as a body has talked to the individual. Link Hudson.
