If Christians get so up in arms about homosexuality because of what the Bible says about it?

Question

Why aren't they equally upset over the rampant shellfish consumption in this country? Why don’t you ever see a Christian protesting at a Red Lobster?

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.

Leviticus 11:10 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.

Answer 1

Because the christians sure do love cherry picking what they want out of the bible.

Answer 2

Homosexuality is a sin in simple terms like fornication, adultery, killing or any sin that's against God. what's there to no longer understand human beings? stop with all this nonsense!! "the bible pronounced this and that." The bible is a handbook for human existence and the non secular. one element that human beings don’t say a lot is what happens to you when you die. that could be a extreme subject!! as a follower of God this international isn't your very final trip spot. Sin won't in any respect have not have been given everywhere in God’s delivers. sure no person might desire to be judging or condemning that's God's call. yet as followers of Jesus we do have the duty to stand up for the actuality. Sin is grimy and deadly and there are outcomes for that.

Answer 3

See how much trouble you can get into if you play around solely with the Old Testament.

Do try to remember, boys and girls, that the Old Testament was written by and for a bunch of nomadic herdsmen without refrigeration, flush toilets or much of anything else except goats, camels and dung. With a life like that, any hope looks good. So God chocked it full of prophecies about a time when His Son would come and make it all better and they could ditch the burden of Adam and relax with Jesus. And he threw in some sensible hygiene and food safety tips with a whammy of divine disapproval if you failed to follow them. As you know, it frequently takes the divine equivalent of a 2x4 upside the head to get anyone to listen to anything! This worked, after a fashion, and probably saved them from a whole lotta cholera, typhus, salmonella and botulism. Smart, huh?

As for the moral/ethical laws, those do NOT change. As you'd know if you opened the New Testament once in awhile.

Answer 4

The deal with shellfish actually has to do with the Jewish religion, not the Christian one. In the Old Testament God set a standard of rules for their diet. This meant no pig, scavenger birds, or shellfish because they are nature's way of cleaning up the environment, and it's unhealthy. He also led them away from food that other countries ate, so that they would be set apart. However, in the New Testament, God gives Paul a vision of all animals coming down from heaven, and He tells Paul to eat what he sees. Paul refuses twice, but God tells him that "no animal I have made is unclean any longer." On the third command, Paul eats whatever animal he pleases. It's like God rewrote the rules of diet, if you will.

Answer 5

Because shell fish are not homosexual. Gays are evil sinners an abomination to God. Pall changed the law so you could eat anything you like except homosexuals. They are still an abomination. Even the circumcised ones. It's not what goes in a man that defiles him but what comes out. If you can put it in your mouth and not have to take it out you are ok.

Answer 6

I personally don't know any Christians who "get so up in arms about homosexuality,", but regarding the shellfish issue, it is because in the New Testament the laws about what constituted clean vs. unclean food was addressed by Jesus, and we were told that it isn't what we put into our mouths, but what comes out of it, that is unclean (Mark 7:1-23).

Answer 7

Well thank you very much, but I do protest at Red Lobster. Think of all the crab, lobster and other shellfish that they kill in direct disobedience to God's law every day.

Tonight I am going to stand out in front of Red Lobster with nothing but a smile and a banner that reads "I would rather go naked than eat shell fish."

Answer 8

Because homosexuals are different, so many people do not like them. I find it odd that so many christians consider homosexuality a mortal sin when they violate other commandments in Leviticus and the rest of the Torah on a daily basis. And i'm not just talking about eating shellfish. Read Leviticus and the other Torah books and you'll have an idea of what I'm talking about.

Answer 9

ok, christians (the ones I know), don't really pay that much attention to parts of the Old Testament. There are over 600 laws given in the Old Testament, and only several are still considered relevant. The reason that homosexuality is still considered 'wrong' is because it cannot have the possibility of natural conception. Personally, I think that's ridiculous, but hey, what do I know?

Answer 10

Dietary laws are not considered breaking God's Commandments, dear one.

Jesus fulfilled the Mosaic Laws of the Old Testament and gave us a New Covenant.

You've asked this question several times and received the same answers.

God bless!

Answer 11

Jesus nullified some of the laws. One of them was that one:

"it's not what goes in a man that defileth him, but what comes out"


anyway, a quote many Christians use is from Paul's epistles.

The thing is- Paul was Jewish for most of his life, could he have been biased?
