Neo Deist
Th.D. & D.Div. h.c.
Do you, as a Christian, live your life according to the Bible? Before you answer "yes", consider this:
In Matthew 5:17-19, Jesus very explicitly says NOT to annul any of the OT laws. Those laws are to be followed. When he says Laws and Prophets, he is talking about the Torah (Genesis through Deuteronomy) as well as the books/scrolls of the Major and Minor prophets. Knowing that, reconsider the title question. Then answer these questions truthfully:
1. Do you eat pork in any form? Bacon, sausage, ham, pork chops?
2. Do you play football or toss a leather football around in your backyard?
If so, you are in violation of Leviticus chapter 11.
3. Women, how soon after giving birth do you go to church? If you had a boy, you are supposed to wait 33 days. If it is a girl, you are supposed to wait 66 days.
If you go to church before then, you are in violation of Leviticus chapter 12.
4. Do you lie at all, even a simple, little white lie? Do you tell your kids about Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy, etc.?
If so, you are in violation of Leviticus 19:11.
5. Do you wear garments made of different material? For example, do you have cotton shorts but wear silk boxers/panties? What about cotton boxers/panties but silk pajamas?
If so, you are in violation of Leviticus 19:19.
6. Men, do you sleep with your female slaves? What about the female slaves of another man?
If so, you are in violation of Leviticus 19:20-22.
7. Do you have any tattoos?
If so, guess what? You are in violation of Leviticus 19:28.
8. Have you ever been so mad that you cussed/cursed at your mother or father?
If so, you are to be put to death according to Leviticus 20:9.
9. Have you ever had sex with a woman that was menstruating, or did you as a woman have sex while on your period?
If so, you are in violation of Leviticus 20:18, and you both are to be banished from your people.
10. Have you ever gone to church and approached the altar/pulpit while having any of these: blindness, deafness, broken hand or foot, facial disfigurement, visual defect, dwarfism, eczema, scabs of any kind, or a crushed testicle?
If so, you are an abomination and in violation according to Leviticus 21:16-23.
So, are you TRULY Biblical? Or do you pick and choose?
