Gays are homosexual men, and lesbians are homosexual women, is it not? I'm just being nit picky... As someone said "One man's nit picky is another man's accuracy."

Correct in the academic sense, but in practice I don't find Leviticus very Christ-like. Naming your religion after Jesus and then citing a bunch of old testament stuff that would likely have been refuted BY Jesus just seems a bit odd to me. Anyways, this is the thread for memes, not debates.

Anyways, this is the thread for memes, not debates. This is my last reply to this in this thread, but this is what Jesus said “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven. - Matthew 5:17-20 So, it seems like he's saying to keep doing what the old testament says.

In Judeo-Christian theology, this is the Law: Quote:Matthew 22:36-40New International Version (NIV) What Jesus describes in Matthew 22:37-40 is known as the Shema and dates back to Moses. It is repeated in several places in the Old and New Testaments. The Ten Commandments fit into these two categories: 1) Love God, 2) Love your neighbor. These ten commandments have always been singled out as the primary commandments from God to man and, therefore, The Law. The remaining 613 mitzvah from Leviticus and other Old Testament books (many of which, such as those dealing specifically with the Temple, cannot be obeyed today) were social, health and legal codes specific to a particular people in a particular place and time. I should also point out that even the Ten Commandments are often misconstrued by people. For example, take the commandment "Thou shall not kill." Seems pretty straight forward, right? But there were two words in ancient Hebrew for 'kill'. The first was to murder, which among the Hebrews meant to have murder in your heart (to hate, rage, have anger, etc.). The second word had to do with other forms of killing such as manslaughter, killing animals for food, etc. (a.k.a. slaying). The King James translation of the Bible used the English word 'kill', which people would have understood to mean 'murder' in Early Modern English. The word in the Ten Commandments was the first Hebrew word ("to murder") and included not just the action of murder, but the emotions of rage, hate, anger, etc. behind it. The is why you find anger included in the 7 Deadly Sins list.
