Leviticus 20:13:
If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.
Nice try, Colbert.
Leviticus was written approximately 1400 years before Jesus’ birth.
Nice try, artemispotter.
Old Testament =/= New Testament. Seriously. Also, Leviticus also commands you to learn the Torah, which, if you’re getting Old and New confused, you clearly haven’t.
Not to mention the other ridiculous laws in Leviticus (and Deuteronomy, as well), including the following:
- No mixing of different types of fabric
- No having sex with a woman on her period
- Curse your mother or father? You must be killed
- Disabled people cannot worship God
- Stubborn children should be stoned.
So…. still want to argue how valid the OT is?
Also, in the Bible!=Jesus said it, anyway. Even in the NT, there are a lot of people who aren’t Jesus giving their opinions.
Truth.
Only if the words are in red (in many translations) does it mean that Jesus said it.
FWIW, the apostle Paul and I would not have been friends. Mortal enemies is more like it.
Hey, guys, remember that one time when Jesus declared Levitican law irrelevant?
The former regulation is set aside because it was weak and useless (for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.
-Hebrews 7:18-19.
Having been Jewish for, you know, ever, I am endlessly amused at the Christian Right’s reliance on Leviticus. Even I, who didn’t understand the theological difference between Catholics and Protestants until I took a course on Christianity in college, knew that Jesus was totes anti-Leviticus.
Seriously, people…
^^^^^^^
Ugh thank you. Fellow Christian here. I’ve literally NEVER understood this logic. “hey guys let’s pick one arbitrary part of leviticus to harp on and ignore the fact that 99% of the new testament explicitly tells us the old covenants/laws no longer hold true”

STOP RIGHT THERE, MOTHERFUCKERS.
DO YOU KNOW WHO THIS IS? THIS IS MOTHERFUCKING BOLIN, AKA THE MOST DECENT FUCKING PERSON IN THE ENTIRE GODDAMNED UNITED REPUBLIC.
THIS BEAUTIFUL BASTARD TREATED THE GODDAMNED AVATAR TO THE BEST DAMNED DATE OF HER LIFE RIGHT AFTER HIS BROTHER STOMPED ALL OVER HER HEART. HE WAS THERE FOR HER WHEN SHE FUCKING NEEDED HIM.
DO YOU HAVE BELCHING CONTESTS WITH THE GIRL OF YOUR DREAMS? DIDN’T THINKS SO, SHITSTAIN. DO YOU TREAT YOUR LADY OF CHOICE TO FOOD FROM HOME THAT SHE NEVER GETS TO EAT? WELL, DO YOU, PUNK? YEAH. SIT THE FUCK DOWN, SON.
AND THEN, AT THE END OF THE DAY, WHEN SHE’S ALL ENRAPTURED WITH THE BEAUTIFUL CITYSCAPE AND ALL STARING AT HIS BROTHER, HE STILL LOOKS AT HER LIKE, DAMN, I AM SO LUCK JUST TO SPEND TIME WITH THIS PERSON.
AND THEN.
AND FUCKING THEN.
AFTER GETTING HIS FEELINGS RUN THE FUCK OVER BY THE TWO PEOPLE CLOSEST TO HIM, HE STILL LOOKS THE GIRL HE ADORES IN THE FACE AND SAYS, “YES, YOU BROKE MY HEART, AND I’M SAD, BUT I’LL CARRY ON AND RESPECT YOUR DECISION BECAUSE YOU ARE MY FRIEND AND I VALUE THE TIME WE SPENT TOGETHER BECAUSE IT MADE YOU HAPPY.”
AND HE DOESN’T EXPECT HER TO STICK WITH HIM BECAUSE HE TOOK HER ON A DATE
OR BECAUSE HE DIDN’T REJECT HER
OR BECAUSE HE GOT HER GIFTS.
BOLIN ISN’T A “NICE GUY.”
HE’S A GODDAMNED NICE. GUY.
SO YOU SIT THE FUCK DOWN AND EAT YOUR SPAGHETTI-O’S WHILE YOU CRY OVER YOUR MAKORRA FEELS, MOTHERFUCKER.
BOLIN’S GOT A PRO-BENDING TOURNAMENT TO WIN AND FRIENDSHIPS BASED ON MUTUAL RESPECT TO MAINTAIN.
BITCH.
