So, we all know my view on Homosexuality. We also know my view on using Scriptures to make the argument against Homosexuality. I don't have anything against READING the scriptures, In fact, I have been reading with Macen in the mornings. I believe that the Scriptures give comfort when needed. I do not, however, feel that you should use them to fight a battle...This is part of an article I read today in the HuffPost. This made me laugh, and think seriously about what we take from the scriptures. Give this a read..then let me know if, perhaps, Scriptures are not to be taken word for word. The Spirit of the Law, not the Letter of it!
13. Tattoos:( Leviticus 19:28) Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD. Hmm, I guess a whole mess of Bikers and Sailors are going to Hell!
12. Rounded Haircuts: (Leviticus 19:27) Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard. Sorry guys..you better stop shaving. I hear the cave man look is making a come back!
11. Men with Injured or Cut Off Private Parts: (Deuteronomy 23:1) He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD.
Wow, lets hope that God is Merciful to those poor souls who has suffered THAT type of injury!
10. Consulting Psychics: (Leviticus 19:31) Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God. Sorry Psychic Hotline...you should have seen this coming!
9. Gossiping: ( Leviticus 19:16) Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbour; I am the LORD. Oh People Magazine, I will miss all the information on Snookie. TMZ I will miss your humor. Oh Bus Stop...it'll be fine..we can continue our conversation in the Underworld.
8. Wives Helping Out their Husbands in a fight. (Deuteronomy 25:11-12) When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets.Then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity her.
Sorry Grant, you're on your own!
7.Eating A Ham Sandwich: (Leviticus 11:7-8) And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you.Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you.
No left over Ham Sanwiches after Easter, or Christmas..That is going to SUCK!
6. Children Cursing Their Parents: ( Exodus 21:17 ) "And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death."
Buh Bye Teenages!
5. Getting Remarried after Getting a Divorce: (Mark 10:11-12) Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.
WOW!!!! Donald Trump and Newt are soooo going to Hell...
4. Working on the Sabbath: (Exodus 31:14-15) "Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death."
Hmm.....sorry Emergency Workers.....
3. Women Speaking in the House of God: (1 Corinthians 14:34-35) Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
No more talks for me!!
2. Eating Lobster, Shrimp, And Other Assorted Seafood: ( Leviticus 10-11) And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you: They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.
No more Red Lobster!!!
1. Losing your Virginity before Marriage: (Deuteronomy 22:20-21) But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel:Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father's house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you
Wow...a lot of women are going to be in Hell..we should all get together to stone them.
