CHRISTIANS: Want to oppose an "abomination" to the Lord?

ahhhh, thank you for that!!! I really enjoyed your question!! What a sight that would be....a raging band of protesters outside Red Lobster!!! Priceless! :) Needed the morning laughter hon, thanks!

The dietary restrictions were under the law, in the old testament. In the new testament, we are under a new covenant, because Jesus fulfilled the law requirements. If it was important not to eat certain foods then, I'm OK with it now. Homosexuality is another subject. Its in the new testament, and in the old at least two cities were destroyed because of it. I'm no bully, but as a Christian, I must believe the bible is Gods word and behave accordingly. I eat no meat, fish or poultry, so the dietary laws don't affect me anyway.

At a glance, your thoughts appear sound, however,

One can not know God's thoughts on a matter unless *all* of his words on the matter are sincerely pondered, their context and their, (I know you will like this word), their 'evolution' through Biblical teaching.

Just as a parent lets up on some of the 'rules' as their child gets a little older and their surroundings become a bit more manageable, so did God with his people, however, the stated sin of homosexuality is not a rule that we see God having ever let up on. In fact, he continues to remind us throughout the old and new testament that it is and will always be an abomination.

I do agree, however, that with only the verses you have shared here, that it does sound like Christians are picking and choosing.

hear, you may and could pass on, for the Lord did no longer pass interior the path of the discomfort and go through for no longer something. it quite is an possibility for growth no longer for melancholy. you may shield your husband via calling the county which you reside in, ask in the event that they might help, additionally, call Social secure practices superb away and ask them how they might help. You and your husband can place self assurance in different ability for a on the same time as and maybe for an prolonged on the same time as. in the journey that your husband labored and might declare unemployment try this too. The wellness center very own will even have innovations. on the same time as your husband is in there they can assist you to get all started. undergo in ideas, Jesus become on my own. you're no longer!!! sending Peace of ideas, Love from our Father, you're no longer on my own!!!

Yay! Ban Shellfish! Down with lobster! Who's with me!

Alright but When Jesus came and replaced law with faith for the gentiles, he made all things clean that is prayed over...see acts11:5-9. The homosexuality issue is still considered an abomination according to Jesus.

Homosexuality has been called "unatural" "an abmination" and "a sin" so really shrimp really don't affect me since I rareley eat it. If I do I'll ask God for forgiveness.

MARK 7:15-19 Jesus declares all food clean. He told his disciples that what enters a man from the outside cannot defile since it enters his stomach and not his heart. Good Try.

For the ten thousandth time...gentile believers were never held to Levitical laws.

Homosexuality is not a sin only in the Old Testament, Romans 1 condemns it as a sin as well.

However, I'm sure I'll see this thrown in our faces yet again, tomorrow!

Often it is not what goes into a mans mouth that defiles him but what comes out of his mouth. However there are some things that go in and out of his mouth several times per minute that surely defiles him.

Conservative christians are afraid of homosexuals. I am sure they are scared of live lobsters, too. But once they are sliced open and steamed, the fear subsides and the feasting begins.

I am not suggesting that they slice open, steam and eat homosexuals dipped in clarified butter, be clear on that!

I am suggesting that fear and ignorance are the deciding factors in which battles people choose. I think the real abomination is their unwillingness to overcome their inadequacies and hide behind carefully chosen biblical text.
