Nice try at homosexual apologetics, Sunsong. I'm not obsessed with the sexual proclivities of others. I am reinterating the behavior described in the Scriptures as an abomination. The very fact that you try to equate such abomination with eating shell fish says a lot about your agenda here at FR. Don't try to pick a spat with me unless you're prepared to defend your chosen abominable behavior by means beyond the superfluous comparison you tried to spittle out. ... Sexual proclivities and reproduction are not separable in scriptures, thus being the doorway to new human souls coming into existence on Earth is a bit more sacred than you've tried to assert. If you and your rainbow 'kind' cannot see that or more likely refuse to see acknowledge, you might be more comfortable trying to pick fights at another web site. But that was a nice try on your part ...
I ask again, since eating shrimp is considered an abomination in the Old Testament - do you also work to stop the practice of eating shrimp? Do you work to stop people from touching pig skin? Do you work hard to expose and shame those who are prideful? I am asking if you are consistent or if it is just this one particular "abomination" that you focus on?
Someone has done some research on some of the other "abominations" listed:
…Sexual sins of any kind are considered "abominations" to the Lord. See Leviticus 18: 18 - 30, paying particular attention to verses 27 - 30, which refer to "all these abominations" -- after various kinds of sexual activities apart from marriage have been mentioned. A similar list is repeated in Leviticus 20, concluding that God's people ought not to do these things "after the manner of the nations which I cast out before you." We find that the levitical laws also forbade remarriages of divorced couples, calling such an act an "abomination." Leviticus 24: 1 - 4. When we consider that Christ amplified these laws to include the lustful thought, who is without sin to cast the first stone?
Dishonest business practices are named as an "abomination" in Deuteronomy 25: 13 - 16, Proverbs 11: 1 and Proverbs 20: 10. It seems that scrupulously honest business practices are required of any professing to be the Lord's people. Do our practices pass the careful scrutiny of the Omniscient One?
Oppressive treatment of others and a haughty attitude are considered as "abomination" in Proverbs 2: 31 - 32, and a "froward heart" is again mentioned in Proverbs 11:20. I wonder if some of the actions of conservative Christians towards gay people might not fall into these categories of "abominations."
A list of six "abominations" are also given in Proverbs 6: 16 - 19:
These six things doth the LORD hate:
yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
A proud look, a lying tongue,
and hands that shed innocent blood,
An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations,
feet that be swift in running to mischief,
A false witness that speaketh lies,
and he that soweth discord among brethren.
Who can claim innocence from all these "abominations"? Are all the sure dispensers of judgments on gay people free from a "proud look" or "false witness"? (Who can be sure that words repeated are absolutely true?) Or sowing discord in God's congregation?...
