1 | Is this line of logic Biblically sound? | 2 Tim 3:16 | Michael Negranol | 171100 | ||
Hmmm, while this is certainly a good answer and one I sincerely appreciate, I'm not entirely feeling it makes the point clear. In more words than the original, the question was posed why is it that Christians are still beholden to Leviticus 18:20 and for the most part ignore say Leviticus 11:10? Early this morning, however, something dawned on me, and I'm interested to know if this argument is sound. Simply put, Leviticus 18 as it detailed the commandments of God in regards to Sexuality is not merely a law, but a definition of Sexual Morality the likes of which transcend the limitations of time. Christ himself uses the term "Sexual Immorality" in Mark 7:21, and as any man of God of the time would refer to it, undoubtedly was speaking in regards to what is sexually moral in the eyes of God as outlined in Leviticus. Another counter point that was brought up earlier by the same person who posed the original question is in Romans 1:18-31 where Paul makes it a specific point of God's attitude toward sexual immorality. These weren't men and women who were eating pork and shellfish, these were people committing acts of sexual impropriety. The New Testament indeed turns away many of the Old Laws of the Old Testament, but sexual morality simply is not one of them. In short, my follow up question is am I making sense with these statements? |

2 | Leviticus: Selectively Outdated? | 2 Tim 3:16 | Michael Negranol | 171084 | ||
Lately I've been entrenched in some very heavy apologetics, and a question was ultimately raised that I was at a loss to answer. This question pretained to the legitemacy of using the Book of Leviticus as a means to defend the Christian outlook on Homosexuality. Namely, why is Homosexuality still viewed as a sin where as other laws within the Book are soundly ignored? What determines what of Leviticus is still valid and what is outdated? | ||||||
