Christians want to eat their pork so they will come up with some kind of "context" excuse or say that was the "old testament". Some BS like that.

should have made this Gay vs Divorce. Divorce is very much a New Testament sin that is not allowed. If you divorce, you cannot remarry.


Agreed... That one is shameful how much we have accepted it in the church

no debating them, i am pointing out that Pork is also mentioned as a sin.

Isaiah 66:15-18 (NET)

15 For look, the LORD comes with fire, his chariots come like a windstorm,to reveal his raging anger,his battle cry, and his flaming arrows. 16 For the LORD judges all humanity ?with fire and his sword; the LORD will kill many. 17 "As for those who consecrate and ritually purify themselves so they can follow their leader and worship in the sacred orchards, those who eat the flesh of pigs and other disgusting creatures, like mice – they will all be destroyed together,” says the LORD. 18 “I hate their deeds and thoughts! So I am coming to gather all the nations and ethnic groups; they will come and witness my splendor."

You might want to read all the way through the book before making this pronouncement. Or skip ahead to Romans and Acts and check out what is said about clean and unclean foods. The condemnation of immoral sexual behavior is reinforced in several places, I believe all in Paul's epistles.

No context needed. Jesus declared all foods clean, and when the Apostles were debating whether Gentiles needed to adopt a kosher diet, Peter had a vision telling him the answer is no.

Sure. Some BS like that.

Why was pork forbidden in the Tanakh? Does God not like bacon? Is it arbitrary and capricious?

Why is homosexuality forbidden in the Tanakh and the New Testament? Does God hate gays? Is it arbitrary and capricious?

I’ll give up pork when Blue Phaggit gives up sucking dicks.

My guess is that I’ll be enjoying bacon for a long time.

That's a really thought provoking take as long as you have spent zero minutes considering what the counter argument might be. Hint: It's literally the core of our religion. Let me help you out.

Absolutely. If the church had taken good care of the sacrament of marriage, the argument against homosexual marriage would be much clearer and more obvious. It’s only the watered down version of a temporary, convenience marriage for fulfillment’s sake that homosexual marriage can compare to with any sort of favor.

I love when atheistic heathens quote to Christians things about the bible when they know absolutely nothing of what they are talking about.

There's something wrong if you go to hell for eating pork or accepting the gays.

Not that I think you'll appreciate it - but....

The purpose of the law was to convict ALL of sin.

You can love God and not take your son to be circumcised on his seventh day of life.
You can love God and drink wine.
You can love God and eat pork.
But you try to love God and be homosexual it will not sit well in your heart.

In the new covenant eating pork is ok, but homosexuality is still not. Seems pretty easy to understand.

I'm not particularly religious, but it seems pretty clear that one is a dietary guideline rendered unnecessary by modern livestock farming techniques, and the other is clearly defined as a transgression with prescribed punishment.

Seems like kind of a harsh punishment, though.
