bigjon, what about the part of Leviticus that lists a bunch of things that are "tehovah" (meaning either "unclean" or "an abomination" depending on which completely separate translation your Bible goes by)?

Is everything that's tehovah the same amount of tehovah or are some things more tehovah than others?


Here are a few from the list:


Men having long hair.
Women having short hair.
Women letting their hair down.
Gay sex.

Without putting them into context (Leviticus doesn't), I'd assume that we should believe they are all equally as bad. So do they all send us straight to hell, or was this list the kind of thing that was just culturally accepted thousands of years ago but isn't relevant today?

 

 there are parts of Leviticus that are refferring directly to Israel and ancient life, even the most conservayive Biblicist agree to that. Like where is says a woman should not ride a camel for three day until after her period...

As far as the long hair thing I believe it is the principle behind it we should keep. Which is there should be a difference between the way a man looks and a woman looks. (Thus the reason the right hates Rosie O... lol)

The gay sex part is mentioned other places, and I believe it is not my place to judge others for it. It is between them and God. It really does not affect others around them (except in cases where they want to adopt) so people should leave them alone. As far as Murder, Stealing, Lieing, adultry, etc they do directly affect others and they is why I am more outspoken about it.

No I am not a buffet line Christian, I believe in the entire Bible. There are just certain legislative type laws in Levi that were made directly at the jews.
