Which is why i said that the law of sodomy doesn't apply either.All laws in the book of Leviticus come under OT covenants,not the NT covenants Jesus brought in.Yet its a book with verses in that are frequently used against homosexuality.So if Christians today want to stand by that law then they must stand by all the others too.
Sorry Jakyll,
As I stated in other posts on this topic..also the Olde Testament topic. ..this makes good rationalization..it is just poor logic and reason once you know how to see it through.
The concept and practice of sodomy, as well as rampant sexuality of all kinds, were heavily practiced in the Nations surrounding Ancient Israel...this was already covered and influenced by these other nations. THe Children of Israel were told and instructed not to do or follow the patterns and behaviors of these other heathen and pagan nations. For by this they had defiled the land and were punnished just as were the pagans/heathens who had lived there previously.
No where do you see any instruction for a Hebrew in the Olde Testament or a or CHristian in the New Testament to ever define themselves by their sexuality...as is once again popular today. It is just not done by intelligent thinking peoples.
The Hebrews throughout their history were disobedient in this and consequently lost the land their Lord had promised them.
Your rationale and rationalization would have us all under an appearance of Olde Testament law such that you can rationalize your belief system. You too would have us follow Ishmael instead of Issac to ratioinalize your belief system. We are not Ismaelites but after Issac. The Jerusalem which is above..not the one here today physically. It will not wash with Believers who know the history and also the counterfit/occult systems....including the counterfit systems attempting to be reinstalled today.
For the Olde Testament is our schoolmaster ..to teach us these things of which I here in describe. The Olde Testament has been taken further in the New Testament.
You would have us mixing new wine with olde, leven with unleven in confusion. It will not wash with people who know the history..and can follow it unto today.
For we know the name of the author of confusion..by name!!
Thanks for your speedy post.
