It has to do with the definition of the word Holy. It means set apart, with out spot or blemish. If your lance armstrong-ing it like it or not you are with blemish. In the OT God physically set a standard from which we may use to apply or understand the Spiritual standard.
It's called an Analogy. No we are not hand held tools but we are all designed to serve a specific purpose in that way we are Tool Like.
No i have not justified anything. I simply framed a command of God in the social structure in which it was originally given. You in your "horrible thinking" as to remove the original social structure and you apply your own. What is truly horrible is to take an innocent command that subdivides people based on strengths, and weaknesses and apply your own bigotry and hate to change this command into something that it is not. If anything you are the monster here for not honoring the time culture and stated command, by superseding what is written with your modern take of what this command would mean in your own corrupt mind/world.
BS. The command was not to treat people badly who did not measure up. The command was to isolate a few so as to serve a specific task. You in your own warp value system you are the one who assigns special value on one job over another. That is why you can claim this is not about a social value system, but if and when you do use the tool analogy and apply to the people of Israel to being assigned tasks and specific Jobs as God intended (A theme that carries over to the NT in the "one body many parts" Sermon Paul makes in 1 Corth.) then you whole objection gets flushed.
The only time your objection has any merit is in a "I" society or an individualist society where the Part/indivisual is considered to be greater than the whole. Again this is a failed/failing social structure that can not sustain it self more than one or two generations before social collapse reclaims it. Where as "one body many parts" approach has sustained humanity for millennia.
And that's why your a douche. You seem to think your the pinnical of social and physical evolution and everything else is crap. You can't even be bothered to consider any culture or cultural thinking not your own. You just pick and choose bits and pieces to formulate an 'evil strawman' and you try and knock it down.
Wow..... im glad i blocked... you....
which allows you to respond to me... do you know what the word 'blocked' even means?
