Well badly cooked/spoiled shellfish tends to be toxic since they are bottom feeders. At this particular moment in history God was on to something. God calls homosexuality an abomination meaning God finds the act of same sex disgusting, loathsome, repellent etc...

Also some Jewish people still maintain a kosher diet and think homosexuality is an abomination.

As for Christians Jesus taught all evil things come from the inside out not outside in. That is why Christan's have no guilt eating shellfish.

But keep in mind Jesus condemned fornication and since only one man and one woman can become one in Gods eyes that makes homosexuality still an abomination (And you will never change a true Jesus first Christian's mind).

Jesus did not say one word about homosexuality. He said plenty about greed, about hypocrisy and especially about judging others - but absolutely nothing about homosexuality.

I'd be a lot more worried about "Judge not lest ye be judged" than I would about something he didn't even see fit to mention.

I'll grant you that point - it makes sense. The ban about homosexuality made sense at the time too, since nomadic & agricultural societies needed to have as many children as possible. The one I have trouble grasping is the ban against wearing cloth made out of more than one material. Yes - according to the Bible, if you wear a cotton/polyester blend you are an abomination before God.

Again - many people seem to pick and choose which sins THEY think are important, while totally ignoring those THEY think are unimportant.
