    Christians, why is homosexuality a sin, but eating shellfish not a sin?

    christians and jews, a few questions from genesis

    Answer: It probably doesn't mean that God will supernaturally render a physically normal person unable to have children. It could refer to capital punishment. Thus they die childless. But honestly, I'm not aware of any research that shows how or even whether the ancient Hebrews regarded or...
