kengrYou 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.

Things he should have on his mirror...
Date: 2011-02-19 08:28 pm (UTC)1 John 2:4
Whoever says, "I know him," but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person.
Matthew 7:5
You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.
And an extra:
Matthew 6:1 (and 2-8)
Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
Jesus seems to have been very clear on the subject of hypocrites.
