Re #78:
That was at the same time that He forbade the eating of baby back ribs, wasn’t it?

No, way after.

Pork was already “unclean” when Noah loaded the animals into the ark. They loaded 6 pairs of the clean animals, and only 1 pair each of the unclean animals.

(So, obviously Noah didn’t eat any unclean animals, or they would have become extinct, thus depriving you of your opportunity to worship Tammuz)

“That was at the same time that He forbade the eating of baby back ribs, wasn’t it?”

No. It wasn’t.

Commands from God to Israel, and no other nations, to abstain from certain foods, was not given until centuries AFTER He burned Sodom to ashes.

For example, in Leviticus 11, He describes animals that are to be considered “unclean FOR YOU”. That is, they are unclean for Israelites.

God also gave certain individuals additional food restrictions for specific purposes. For example, He gave Ezekiel an exact recipe for the food he could eat for many months:

Ezekiel 4:9
Also take for yourself wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and spelt; put them into one vessel, and make bread of them for yourself. During the number of days that you lie on your side, three hundred and ninety days, you shall eat it.

He also provided manna for Israel for forty years while they wandered in the wilderness.

God allowed for eating meat beginning after the deluge. He did not restrict eating “unclean” animals from anyone except Israel.

But on the subject of homosexual sex, God pronounced judgment for all people, for all times. When He addressed it in Leviticus 18:

Leviticus 18:22, 24-29
You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination....
‘Do not defile yourselves with any of these things; for by all these the nations are defiled, which I am casting out before you. For the land is defiled; therefore I visit the punishment of its iniquity upon it, and the land vomits out its inhabitants. You shall therefore keep My statutes and My judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations, either any of your own nation or any stranger who dwells among you (for all these abominations the men of the land have done, who were before you, and thus the land is defiled), lest the land vomit you out also when you defile it, as it vomited out the nations that were before you. For whoever commits any of these abominations, the persons who commit them shall be cut off from among their people.

Further, homosexual sex was described as a capital crime by Christ and the apostles as well.

Matthew 11:23
And you, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, will be brought down to Hades; for if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.

Romans 1:27, 32
Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due... who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.
