Exactly my point. And the laws you are citing come from Leviticus. They don't apply to Christians today. You don't need to worry about those laws any more.no, Auto.
not everything mentioned in, for example, Leviticus literally applies to Christians today.
it is understood that God commanded His Hebrew children to follow these laws and commands through Moses. under Messiah, sent by the same God for all peoples, the Law is not destroyed, but fulfilled. Jesus summarizes the Law with two commands- love the Lord your God with all your heart and soul and might, and love your neighbor as yourself.
And those laws you are now insisting on are of this type.under Messiah, there is no need for the careful keeping of Mosaic Law, or animal sacrifices. Jesus becomes our sacrifice, to take away our sins forever, and make us right with God once and for all.
a Christian *can* follow Mosaic Law, but as we are saved by faith in God's Son and His grace (and not by keeping religious laws carefully) it makes sense to most Christians to live by faith and grace and now the Law.
Yes, and none of them have anything to do with whether one is heterosexual or homosexual.that doesn't mean that Leviticus is meaningless. a Christian can read the text and understand God's voice and will through it. he or she can appreciate the virtues and lessons illustrated there for the Hebrew people, and again for Christians. virtues like obedience, sacrifice, thoroughness in obeying God, trusting Him, and keeping one's self holy (pure, set aside) for His use and good pleasure.
