Did I do good?

nailed it, mate

And this is a joke SuGas so don't get triggered like you did with Pollard

Once again, I'm not asking you to congratulate us. Just do it properly or not at all. We won't get triggered, don't worry

I did it properly :)

What IG “believes in” is homophobic bullshit that has no place in the modern world, and should have been left on the chopping block along with those Bible verses that ban mixed fabrics.

I thought he’d be willing to overcome or at least bury his worst tendencies in order to see his darling project “RUP” succeed, but I was wrong. Instead, he was willing to part ways with friend after friend in order to maintain the integrity of his “beliefs.”

If he wants to quintuple down on his bigotry for December’s election then I guess we’ll re-litigate it all over again then.

Till then, au revior, and see you on Congress! ✌️

Do you know why that is in Deuteronomy?

And who decides what parts of Scripture remain in effect and which do not? Which other parts remain in effect in your mind? What authority do you base that decision on?

Leviticus actually - And perhaps you can answer your own questions for me if you are so smart

Momentary lapse of my OT. It happens. Levitical law was very weighty and was filled with purpose that has been lost because the common understanding of the context has fallen from common knowledge.

But this is your moment. I want you to enjoy this journey of intellectual discovery on your own. Unsullied by spoilers.

Go. Learn why present day Christians are not bound by Levitical law. And report back.

How disappointing. Not even the slightest bit of intellectual curiosity. Guess we Christians are so far beneath you, only deserving derision and mockery.

So fine...

Levitical law was intended by God to separate the Hebrews from the other pagan civilizations surrounding them. This is important both as a lifestyle for those people but also as a foreshadowing of those saved by God's grace now - we are set aside and our behaviors are different than the world around us.

The behaviors prohibited in Levitical law generally held religious meaning to the pagan cultures in the region. The laws against food preparation styles (cooking a calf in it's mother's milk for example) were not merely arbitrary rules, but prohibitions against the rituals of the other cultures. These rituals were mea6 to curry favor with polytheistic idols and being about fertility, crops, favorable weather, blight against ones enemies, etc. This had no place in Jewish life.

Now that the concept of God's Chosen People has shifted thanks to the sacrifice paid by Jesus Christ, these laws are no longer applicable. Just as we do not make animal sacrifices to God as a substitutionary atonement for our sin, the intent of these other laws has been fulfilled. The laws of Moses, being moral laws, are still very much applicable. Jesus Christ says so Himself.

The present day notion of wearing a Dri-Fit t-shirt carries no pagan ritualistic meaning.
The way food is prepared generally carries no ritualistic meaning. Even if it did, God tells us through the letters of John that consuming food prepared as a ritual is not sinful so long as we do not believe in the ritual. It is not sinful for me to eat Kosher or Halal food because that means nothing to me spiritually as a Christian.
