>>>A nation that legalizes abomination is under condemnation and headed for damnation. (! am not asserting America is for sure Babylon, but the type fits)
Well if falling short in Biblical obedience is Babylon, we’re cooked. To sample a few amongst other injunctions we ignore, we don’t require men have beards and long hair, we allow lobster and shrimp to be sold and consumed, we eat pork Bar-B-Q, Wal Mart is full of cotton blend shirts, and we abolished slavery. If Leviticus doesn’t get you one way, it gets you another.
“the swine, though it divides the hoof, having cloven hooves, yet does not chew the cud, is unclean to you.” (Leviticus 11:7)
“Whatever in the water does not have fins or scales; that shall be an abomination to you.” (Leviticus 11:12)
“Do not plant your field with two kinds of seed. Do not wear material woven of two kinds of material.” (Leviticus 19:19)
“Do not cut the hair at the sides of your head or clip off the edges of your beard.” (Leviticus 19:27)
“If a man lies with a woman during her sickness and uncovers her nakedness, he has discovered her flow, and she has uncovered the flow of her blood. Both of them shall be cut off from her people.” (Leviticus 20:18)
“Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property.” (Leviticus 25:44-45)
Alas Babylon. No way I’m giving up country ham.
Thanks for not reading the page. It is ignorance or rejection of proper exegesis that such arguments depend upon. When you find anywhere under the New Covenant that laws against sexual partners are included in the class of laws which the Holy Spirit lists as ceremonial (Col. 2:14-17; Heb. 9:10; 10:1-10; cf. Rm. 14; Gal. 4:10), than you can commit adultery, etc. Instead, what is manifest is that laws regarding such are actually intensified, and are actually reiterated as a class more than any other concern man’s behavior. The man in the incestuous relationship was not handed over to Satan for eating bacon. Go read the Leviticus section.
