[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The answer to OP's original question is simple:

Religious people set aside Biblical laws about not eating shellfish or wearing certain fabrics because those laws affect THEM.

They hold onto all the proscriptions -- such as having gay sex -- that apply to OTHERS.

It's a lot easier to decide the only laws that matter are the ones that don't inhibit your life.[/quote]

No no no no no no no. Have you not looked through this thread? I don’t know how many times I’m gonna have to explain this.

CHRISTIANS ARE BOUND BY NEW TESTAMENT LAW.

CHRISTIANS ARE NOT BOUND BY OLD TESTAMENT LAW. WHY? BECAUSE JESUS CAME AND “FULFILLED THE LAW”

THE SHRIMP, RAPE, AND STONING LAWS ARE ONLY IN THE OLD TESTAMENT, MEANING WE DONT FOLLOW THEM ANYMORE.

HOMOSEXUALITY IS CONDEMMNED IN THE NEW TESTAMENT, WHICH IS THE LAW WE NOW FOLLOW.

If you still have questions, just Google “Why don’t christians follow Old Testament law?” There is a process to how Christians obey certain laws, it’s not randomly picking and choosing

Do you follow all of NT law, or do you decide to interpret some of the reported sayings of Jesus literally, and others just figuratively?[/quote]

It depends on the context. You can’t universally decide that all sayings are literal or figurative. Are there any specific examples that you’re thinking of?[/quote]
