So we can kill gay people with God's blessing?

Lev.20:[13] If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

 

[tomspug]

Ask the Jews. They're the ones that have to memorize it, so they most have a reason for doing so.

Perhaps you might want an understanding of something like how Christ could be our kinsman redeemer among other things.

Only if they're Jewish.

 

[Zephyr]

I don't need it, for one.

It doesn't look like you think you need the New Testament either.

 

[Don Penguinoini]

I think christians need it, but most people dont need it.

You have good eyes it seems. I have no need for 2000 year old Jewish holy texts.

 

[Darkness]

Only if they're Jewish.

Because that makes it so much better.

Is yesterday current enough for you?

 

[Zephyr]

Is yesterday current enough for you?

Explain. What significance does yesterday have in regards to my statement?

 

[Lindsey-Loo]

Well...why don't we need Leviticus? This seems like a somewhat loaded question to me. But whatever.

Leviticus gives us valuable insight into the Hebrew culture, especially where the laws of the Hebrews were concerned. It is important not only to Jews, but also to people of other religions because of the historical and cultural insight it gives into Bible history.

You sure are correct,Leviticus, generally speaking, the laws teach the Israelites that they should always keep themselves in a state of legal purity, or external sanctity as a signof their intinate union with the Lord. The central ideaof Leviticus, "You shall be holy, because I, the Lord, am holy.

I'm just trying to get an idea of how recently something has to be written before you take it seriously. 200 years?

Really the age isn't the issue here. The issue is that it is a foreign text that has no business with my people.

 

[Ratiocinative]

The law's purpose is to keep people from having excuses, and to show that the entire world is guilty before God. Romans 3. Also, Romans 5, the Law was given so people could see how sinful they were.

And who are your people?

 

[Zephyr]

And who are your people?

The Germanic tribes. Although really, this train of conversation probably won't be getting anywhere, so I'll butt out.

 

[Quoth The Raven]

Only if they're Jewish.

Well, you'd think that, but it doesn't stop people who aren't Jewish using it as the big, godly homosexual beating stick of sin.
