Isn't it hypocritical for Christians to cite the prohibition on homosexuality cited in Leviticus..?

Question

When they ignore so many of the regulations cited in the same sections of this OT book

For example:

One must do no work or travel except by foot on Saturday

One may not eat pork, lobster, oyster, corned beef, beef or lamb fat

One may not touch a menstruating woman

Menstruating women cannot prepare food and must be isolated

After having sexual intercourse the couple must immediately bathe thoroughly and change the bedclothes.

If you have a bad pimple you must get it inspected by a priest as you may be unclean (holy writ about a bad zit)

.......there are 100s of such regulations in Leviticus all as binding as the homosexuality prohibition, very few of which Christians seem to obey.

Isn't it therefore reasonable to regard this selectivity as hypocritical homophobia

Answer 1

Good point , but Christians ignore even more basic teachings . One  of the ten commandments says Thou shalt not kill , yet Christians provide the major cheering sections for most wars , as long as they get to sit at home and watch it on TV .  

Answer 2

You're wrong.

Everything you listed is in the Old Testament.

Read the New Testament and it still says things about homosexuality, but what you listed, is not apart of the New Testament.

Does that make it right?

No, I'm a g*y male, but, you don't want to be judged right?

Neither do I. So I'm not going to judge christians, doesn't that make US hypocritical?

Answer 3

I say Amen Brotha -- to Party H

Answer 4

it's completely hypocritical of Christians

but when have Christians not been hypocritical

they just follow the rules they want to and disregard the rest of them

Answer 5

What you speak of is the Levitical law. That was the law Jesus did away with on the cross. Not the Mosaic law (the 10 commandments). The sacrificial laws found in Leviticus were also done away with. When Jesus died to set us free, we became free indeed. Some christians just don't know it. that's why i am not a christian. i'm an anibaptist-sabbatarian.

so to answer your question...yes.

Answer 6

It's called picking and choosing.

This really isn't anything new; we say one thing and do another. Everyone's a hypocrite or flawed in some way.

Nobody's perfect.

Answer 7
