I reckon you will have to take up the relevancy of these abominations with God. No matter what you think of them...it doesn't make them any more or less.
Exactly. Eating crab legs, shrimp, and pig; shaving your sideburns; wearing cotton/wool blend pants; and planting two crops in the same field are all abominations to God.
Joy is trying to justify homosexuality using the bible. I don't see it happening.
Jesus even had a little to say about it, easy goin' fellow that he was.
And there you are wrong, again. Jesus had nothing to say about homosexuality. He was silent on the issue.
"And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder."
I've read Matthew 19. I had it shoved down my throat when I belonged to a very backwards church. It is about divorce, not about being gay or straight.
As to the abominations, do you believe that eating shellfish = abomination in the eyes of God = wearing poly/cotton pants = abomination in the eyes of God = homosexuality = abomination in the eyes of God = shaving your sideburns and your beard? You realize that by wearing clothes of blended fabrics, eating shrimp, and / or shaving your sideburns or trimming your beard that you are just as much of an abomination as the gays that you spew your hatred against, right?
