Red Lobster? An Abomination?

Question

Why are ther anti-gays but no anti-lobster Christians?

LEV 11:9-12
Of all the creatures living in the water of the seas and the streams, you may eat any that have fins and scales. But all creatures in the seas or streams that do not have fins and scales—whether among all the swarming things or among all the other living creatures in the water—you are to detest. And since you are to detest them, you must not eat their meat and you must detest their carcasses. Anything living in the water that does not have fins and scales is to be detestable to you.

Please note: that in some versions, as this one, the Bible quotes both homousexuality and shellfish eating as "detestable" in others it is an "abomination" but the words are equal and consistant.

Do you anti-gays also protest lobster?
Or do you partake of this sinful food?

If Christians aren't under the laws of the Israelites, then why the anti-gay remarks?

And remember, anything from Paul's epistles don't count- he was an Israelite!

Answer 1

Whatever God says is an abomination is an abomination. God's instructions for living are found throughout scripture. Among them are condemnations of same sex unions as well as the prohibition of shell fish. If He has given these guidelines, who am I to question Him?

He addresses homosexuality in Romans 1 and His food regulations are found in Deuteronomy 14:1-21. I follow His instructions.

Answer 2

Christians aren't under the law giving to the Israelites. Homosexuality being a sin is repeated in the NT. Rom 1:26,27

Answer 3

See this is what you get when you take an ancient document written by man, inspired by God, as a literal manual on how to live in the 21st century.
