Mmm shrimp... (Score:1)

by Lunchy (2672)

Hehe, That's funny, the shrimp thing recently came up at a gathering I was recently at. Anyhow, all I can say about the shrimp thing, being a religious person, is that the Mosaic law they followed in the old testament went away with the death of Jesus, as he instituted a new covenant with his followers. However, homosexuality is clearly (well, clearly to me anyways) condemned in both the old AND new testaments. I'm not lookin for a debate, just throwin it out there. :)

  Of the six biblical passages which are commonly associated with homosexuality, most are misinterpreted or viewed out of context.
  
  Genesis 19:5(Story of Sodom) The people were punished because of their inhospitable intentions toward their guests.
  Leviticus 18:22, 20:13 These passages include the "shrimp ban" as well as personal grooming requirements (no shaving your sideburns or beard) and body modifications (no tattoos) (both 19:27-28ish).
  Romans 1:26-27(Denounced acts against nature) The common argument

    Act 20:29,30 Chances are, we apply these scriptures to each other, therefore, we can go no further in the discussion. *shrug*
