because you are not reading the scripture but making assumptions and applying your own meaning.
its a abomination unto you which is Israel
God told christians
1Ti 4:3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
1Ti 4:4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
1Ti 4:5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
every creature is good and nothing to be refused.
every thing means every thing
what animal is not included in every thing
God condemned homosexual sex in the new testament also.
Rom 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
Rom 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.
Rom 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Jud 1:7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
well try reading Romans where Jesus said that ALL food is clean to eat. also...read the book of Matthew where Jesus speaks of marriage being between man and woman. as a christian, i am not under the Jewish law. I am under God's grace.
You all know this one so well and want to spew it: Lev. 20:13: "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination."
How's about this one? verses 10-12:
And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you: They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcasses in abomination. Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.
The folks over on the religious right cite Leviticus as evidence that homosexuals are an unclean "abomination," yet they have no problem eating at Red Lobster. What gives?
"Folks over on the religious right" never claim that homosexuals are an abomination, that is not true. What they do claim is that having homosexual sex is an abomination. Let's be clear on that, a person can never be an abomination.
Leviticus is not the only place where homosexual sex is mentioned as being wrong, but you are right, that particular verse was part of the civil law given to the Jews. We could argue that it was not given as a law, it was a statement made about it, but we'll let it go, there are many more verses in the Bible not contained within the civil law for Jews that we can use to cite that homosexual sex is wrong.
The verses about the shellfish is also part of the civil law of the Jews, and that is in fact given as a command. A command to Jews, not to us.
You are quoting portions of Jewish Law. **They are not binding on Non-Jews.** However, in the Christian scriptures, there are remarks made that repeat prohibitions regarding sexual immorality, including homosexuality. There are also other verses elsewhere in Torah that are braod prohibitions of immorality, and usually interpreted to include homosexuality, such as what existed in Sodom and Gemorrah, where non-Jews were punished for homosexuality. So... while a non-Jewish Christian may eat all the Lobster he wants and not be sinning, he may not engage in gay sex.
