I like how some people think that starting a sentence with "actually..." makes its contents valid.

The food and cleanliness laws for example. If those were practiced today I think people would be healthier, and that those same risky foods and practies are still hamstringing us. Many of the "unclean" foods are high risk foods when you look at health. Pork , shellfish, fat in general, blood ect. Some of these laws the U.S. as a nation still practices; such as bleeding animals before processing them into food.

No doubt. But we have infinitely better medical treatments than back then, and it was essential that God's people didn't die from basic (at least today) hygiene problems.

Also, most of the cleanliness laws are probably practiced just on principle. Like not rolling around in shit, quarantine, and not touching dead things. lol

You'd be surprised how often these laws weren't "practiced just on principle" until around the 18th Century from the secular world. No one knew about germs and diseases, it was all based on sin-related sickness; if you'd been struck down with a health condition, it was your fault because you dishonoured a god or an evil spirit had possessed you, not because you failed to realise the connection between hygiene and food preparation.

The Jews had a hygiene system well above and beyond any other civilisation at the time, and no other civilisation did until Western medicine caught up only a few centuries ago. There was even a Roman medical treatment that involved smearing feces into wounds to aid healing. It's only common sense to us because we actually know that is a bad idea.

I would also think that if part of the law is in effect then the whole law would be in effect. I would think that if some of the laws are in effect, because, sin still exists. According to the Bible's definition; if there is no law there is no sin, since, sin is the transgression of the law.

I was under the impression we were under grace, not the law? Fulfilling law isn't the requirement. I know what you're getting at though, but then that depends on what you define the 'law' to be. There were the early Jewish laws of cleanliness and eating proper food and then there are the laws of doing unto others as you would have done to you.

Anywho, I hope you don't mind discussion on this topic. I am not much one for preaching and stuff. I just like this topic.

I love talking about this stuff in a place where people can actually handle themselves maturely, so yeah. Don't mind at all.

My favorite part about Levitical Law is that Christians take the verse regarding homosexuality as an abomination as binding today, while the verse regarding women wearing pants as an abomination as 'cultural'.

If I'm reading this correctly, you mean that women wearing pants was only a period of time while the homosexuality still stands? If that's correct, then I suppose it's only depending on what branch of Christianity it is.

I should really have paid more attention to my confirmation preparation courses, though homosexuality never came up as a subject.

He means it's hypocritical bullshit.

He's saying that Christians often cite being Homosexual as a crime against god, but conveniently ignore the fact that women wearing slacks was a similar offense and write it off as a cultural thing of the time while holding up that homosexuality is bad.

[Tyr]

Right-o, so I'm confusing and can't understand others, bullocks.

Regardless, I don't see how this can be hypocrisy. Women not wearing pants was a cultural thing because back then it was in the culture that they could not wear pants as that signaled the leader in the household (the man), but this became false as women started to be treated as equal beings through out time.

It's a whole other thing regarding homosexuality, I suppose mainly because man and man was never God's picture.

I don't think it was God's idea that women should not wear pants, like I don't think it was written on one of the tablets carried down from the mountain or such.

Not that I know for sure, I'm Protestant and even then I'm not a top-notch one.

Hate to derail that side convo, but if you'd like to continue it how about opening a new thread? Kame House might be a good place.
