Yeah, exactly. I have yet to hear a legitimate answer to that.

1 Timothy 4:4 says, "For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with gratitude;" Christians are no longer under the Law of Moses, they are under the New Covenant of Jesus Christ. Paul even goes so far as to say "all things are lawful." That is why Christians no longer follow the dietary and other parts of the Mosaic Law.
However, the New Testament does say that homosexuals will not inherit the kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 6:9). So that is why Christians still disapprove of homosexuality yet have no stance against Red Lobster.

Good point! Bible believers pick and chose the scripture they want to obey and push on others. The part about the Red Lobster doesn't seem relevant today and Gays do apparently.
What if they wake up one day to find that eating red lobster is evil and the Gay issue just isn't relevant.
They will find a way to explain away the scripture they don't think is relevent. If you don't want to obey something, there is always a reason...
They should be sacrificing cows and other livestock in their back yard altars too seeing that God doesn't change.

The word abomination refers to something done by one person that causes sickness to himself and can cause that sickness to spread to others.
The Law against the abomination of eating unclean animals is just one of the many Laws of Yahweh that this religious system still breaks today. So she is identified well in:
Revelation 17:4-5—
4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet color, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication.
5 And upon her head was a name written: MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT THE MOTHER OF THE HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
The Protestants today no longer protest, but have all joined in the rebellion against Yahweh's Name and Laws, not understanding the harm they are bringing upon themselves and their children.
The religions which are identified as harlots are separate but follow in the dragon's rebellion and under her leadership. Now notice how she is identified.
Revelation 17:18—
And the woman whom you saw, is that great city which reigns over the kings of the earth.
If the whole world had been teaching these Laws diligently to all children, we would not have the killer diseases we are facing today.
There are 613 Laws of Yahweh written in the original inspired Book of Yahweh, which Yahweh shows will bring total perfection when taught and kept by all nations.

This I can not answer except to say, I would feel pretty silly protesting in front of a Red Lobster. Besides. I love their clam chowder.

The flat out truth is you don't care at all about God's word and your just making issues out of nothing to push your beliefs or agendas, either way, your beliefs and style of life will only lead to one place. Protesting God's word is never good. Giving people the thumbs down just because you don't like their answer is not going to change the truth or what is shortly going to happen to all wicked.

Because real Christians follow the teachings of Jesus in the New Testament. He said,"The old law said..., but I say.... " That is the same reason that real Christians do not follow the ten commandments, they follow the teachings of Jesus as taught in the beatitudes in the Sermon on the Mount.

Because the "Good News" of Jesus, as given in the New Testament, overrules the Old Law, EXCEPT for that one part about gay people. That stays, but we no longer have to sacrifice oxen or sell our kids into slavery like in the old days. Jesus is love, but God still hates homos for being as He made them, apparently.

Because lobsters don't get in our faces about being eaten by heathens.
