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.

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.

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.

As a practical matter, different fibers have different rates of wear, strengths, and elasticities. A fabric made from whole threads of different fibers (as opposed to blended fibers) is going to have wear characteristics which are less than optimal for the best fiber. Theoretically, it should fall apart faster than a fabric made from all the same fiber, or at least have weaknesses hidden by the stronger, more durable fiber which are not readily evident until it fails.

Not good for a desert dweller, either, imo. Better to have cloth made in toto from the weaker fiber and be aware of when it will need to be replaced.
