That’s a non sequitur.
Interesting. But it’s not the topic of the thread."'China is to blame because the culture where people eat bats and snakes and dogs and things like that, these viruses are transmitted from the animal to the people and that’s why China has been the source of a lot of these viruses like SARS, like MERS, the swine flu and now the coronavirus,' he said. 'I think they have a fundamental problem and I don’t object to geographically identifying where it is coming from.'"
Fact-check: Is Chinese culture to blame for the coronavirus?
Interesting. But it’s not the topic of the thread.
I see. Have you found in scripture where anyone was destroyed for eating these abominable animals?The subject of abominable animals has been a large part of the discussion.
Halal meat is widely available. Halal meat is sacrificed to an idol.But if I return from the SHAMBLES with Turkey-bacon, and others feel it has been sacrificed to idols...
Oh, never mind, today grocery stores don't sell things that have been sacrificed to idols anyway.
Very interesting verseLeviticus 20
1And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,..
23 And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore
I abhorred them.
Jesus Christ the same yesterday,
and to day, and for ever.
I'm telling you that after the rebellion at Babel, when God split mankind into the original 70 nations, the Law of Moses was given only to Israel. The remaining nations, the Gentiles, continued under the rules that governed mankind from Adam through Noah.Are you suggesting that abominations only apply to Jews?
By the way, the ambiguous word "Jew" wasn't created until about 400 years ago.
How do we know which abominations are OK with YHWH, and which ones he finds abominable?
For example:
Leviticus 11:12 King James Version (KJV)
12 Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.
Eating shrimp is an abomination according to Leviticus.
Leviticus 18:22 King James Version (KJV)
22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
So is homosexuality according to Leviticus.
How do we know where to draw the line?
If you are filled with His Holy Spirit, you will know. It is written in our hearts.So which abominations are OK with YHWH?
you can start by not using the KJV to draw your conclusions. these are not the same words.How do we know where to draw the line?
The remaining nations were given up to worship other gods.I'm telling you that after the rebellion at Babel, when God split mankind into the original 70 nations, the Law of Moses was given only to Israel. The remaining nations, the Gentiles, continued under the rules that governed mankind from Adam through Noah.
So did those rules demand a kosher diet? No, because Noah was told by God Himself that he could eat anything that moves.
So the relevant question for me is this: being a Gentile and thus under Noah's dietary rules, must I now follow Moses' dietary rules since I'm a Christian? And Paul's letter to the Galatian church says that I don't. And the Council of Jerusalem says that I don't. And those, being scripture, they outweigh you.

God hated, and kicked the nations out, for doing the things he commanded the Israelites not to do, yet he revealed his commandments to Israel and no other nation.

Yes, but they weren't given that diet because they were sinners; Noah ate that same diet.The remaining nations were given up to worship other gods.
you can start by not using the KJV to draw your conclusions.
these are not the same words.
I thought you were a CLV person anyway, why the switch? Let's see how they put it
Leviticus 11:12 (CLV)
All that has no fins or scales in the waters, it is an abomination to you.
Leviticus 18:22 (CLV)
With a male you shall not lie as if going to bed with a woman. This is an abhorrence.
I think I get it now... this is a strawman.
If you are filled with His Holy Spirit, you will know. It is written in our hearts.
Be blessed and stay healthy.
It it's an abomination we would be wise to stay clear from it ... abomination is never used in a positive sense.
