It's the old shrimp-and-linsey-woolsey argument (Don't bother me with Leviticus!" They seem to have missed everything that 2,000 years of detailed and profoundly significant, reasoned discourse about the levels and kinds of law found in the Hebrew Scriptures: mainly, cultural separation codes, health-safety best practices, the rubrics of ritual conduct, and moral law. They also ignored the fact that New Testament Law superseded Old Testament Law, since the OT law "brought nothing to perfection" (Hebrews 7:19).
The Gay Christians and their allies seem to think they're among the first to realize that, OMG, Christians don't keep kosher. And following upon that, it appears they think they can just take an x-acto knife and a tweezers, extract a couple of verses about shrimp, adulterers and Canaanites, wad them up into a spitball and whap them into somebody's eye, and that settles the argument.
In other words, they argue like a clipart-cartoon fundamentalists.
I think they could probably do better, and --- I don't think I'm alone in saying this --- I'd like to see them try.
I must confess that I had no idea what you were talking about until I went back and read the comments. I wouldnt put much thought into the comments about the Old Testament laws. They are obviously made by someone who has only read scripture to denounce Christian beliefs. Its Satan at his best. Its his way of working. Make salvation and Christian life appear to be based on mans actions. It causes people to take their eyes off of Gods grace.
“I think they could probably do better, and -— I don’t think I’m alone in saying this -— I’d like to see them try.”
Why? That would just mean that they could flim-flam more people and recruit more children.
