Some gems include Christ's death nullifying it (cuz reasons), Jesus saying Kosher eating laws no longer apply (what about mixed fabrics), or Jesus coming to fulfill the law (never mind that not one iota is supposed to change). Today, I heard a new excuse:
Leviticus only applies to the Levites.
If that's the case, wouldn't 1st and 2nd Corinthians only apply to Corinth and Galatians only apply to Galilee? I'm trying to get the guy to explain his stance in a way that's not special pleading, but he's currently saying that he's "not following me".
Has anyone else heard this excuse? Was it better explained?
The bible is god's word, unless it propagates inconvenient or illegal actions, we can just pretend they don't exist and use the nice parts. It's all up to interpretation guys don't be mad, all religions are about love, peace and helping mankind, it's all the believer's fault for not knowing how to read properly such a complex text! (Sarcasm!)
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
