A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination (Lev. 11:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this?

Homosexuality has a death sentence and capitalpunishment
eating unclean meat only has a partial death sentence. if you eat uncooked meat you may just get sick, but sometimes you can die from the sickness.
in the name of jesus christ, the words of God have called christianity as relgious doctrines of men as abominations. But in the book of ACTS ch.10, i think, Peter received a revelation that says Jesus has made ALL things clean and actually rebukes anyone for calling someone else unclean

I don't see where eating shellfish is called an abomination. Could you clarify with supporting evidence?
Ah...I see. The King James Version says that shellfish "shall be an abomination unto you."
The difference being that homosexuality is an abomination unto God. Therefore, eating shellfish is a lesser abomination.
Furthermore, Paul later wrote that Christians are not obligated to follow the Jewish Law. This includes things such as shellfish and circumcision, but does not include strictures against homosexuality and witchcraft, as evidenced by Paul's statements against those practices. Therefore, eating shellfish is a lesser abomination.

The shellfish thing is definitely an abomination, just as I know from (Lev.11:6-8) that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but it may still be okay to play football if I wear gloves.

Eating of shellfish and pork has never been ordained by God, people try to argue parables that it is okay to do it, even when God in Isaiah 66 says that people who eat swine will be destroyed when God destroys the wicked at the end of the world.
If these parables were real, or things we should take for doctrines, then we are meer branches, and we should try and grow real fruit to please God, trees would have conversations with eachother etc. Use a parable to gain one moral or teaching, do not use it to judge reality. God bless!

Ridiculous and eating shellfish got okay in the bible in the New Testament.
Jesus said to love one another. He did not say love one another only if you are heterosexuals.

There is no one sin above another
Sin is an offense to God by definition.
A sin is a sin. The Bible says the wages of sin is death
not some sins, this or that sin, any sin.
Hope that helped

if both these things were old religious laws talked about in the bible which later jesus said that they were'nt bad and that people could do this and it would be ok, then why are people thinking that homosexuals and shelfish are bad?
i am confused
