You don't get to pick and choose. If you are going to insist folks follow the Old Testament rules, then you have to go with *all* of them.
If you go with the New Testament, you get to ignore the Old Testament (for rules) because Christ explicitly says he's there to replace those rules.
But you have to follow the rules *He* laid out.
What triggered this?

Idiot friend of a gay-basher *tattooed* Leviticus 18:22 on his arm (the verse about men laying with men).
Why does this make him an idiot? Leviticus 19:28 forbids tattoos.
