Excellent video, too bad they dont teach that today.
If you take that position, I would throw a flag if you don't subscribe to all old testament law. Do you?
Phobia suggests fear. Only God should be feared (Pr 9:10).

Being homophobic is one thing being a homophobic bigot is another.
The 50s was the last sane decade. All went to perversion in the late 60s.
Deuteronomy 14:9-10
Leviticus 11:9-12
Leviticus 11:23 KJV But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you.
I'd leave those four footed flying creeping creatures alone too.
Yup, they are often loaded with parasites.
Bats and squirrels creep? :think:yep, bats and squirrels, can be filled with them.
Bats and squirrels creep? :think:
To be picky surely even "flying" squirrels scurry rather than creep, but they don't actually fly, they can only glide briefly between trees.yes, when on the ground bats crawl and have 4 legs, so do squirrels as well as fly.

Most bats otoh will typically never deliberately go to ground to creep or otherwise and actually have two hands with fingers and two feet not four. In Leviticus 11 Bats are classified as birds (fowl).
:AMR:You are being picky, desperately so, anyone seeing them on the ground and in the air, would describe them that way. There are far fewer words in hebrew also than Englishes many word variants.
But we weren't actually talking about cats, which, like pigs, don't fly, but they do have four legs and arguably do perhaps creep (stalk?), so two out of three's not bad.A cat will creep along the ground to later pounce at prey.

However, evangelists will evangelise the Bible as it was translated when it suits them to, but when it doesn't then we may get referred to arcane ancient Hebrew texts.And you can keep ignoring what you have been given, the word in hebrew is simply defining insects, and rodents and things like lizards

My whole argument is against homophobic fundamentalism based on adherence to words as translated by different people at different times typically with a wide variety of interpretations.You cited the kjv on that particular verse, you are aware that a lot of english words used in translation there, aren't what are commonly used today?
Could it be the reason you just cited that you chose that version there?
Anyone confused about something can look at the original. Are you more of a fundamentalist to a fault, that you ignore that words have myriads of meanings in english and not just one or 2?

Using the Bible as a justification for homophobic bigotry, probably without any understanding of ancient Hebrew, is clearly plain wrong.
I think my case is made since even you look to ancient Hebrew rather than rely on say the KJV or apparently want to suggest that another commonly used version is inerrant.Ok, then lets look at it, and see where you think one version might be wrong. Lets break it down, post what you think is not right and we can check.
Again lets look then.
I do eat them. Abalone is my favorite, but I don't get it often living in Colorado.I think shellfish can however be specifically inferred as "abominations" since they hath neither fins nor scales and are found "in the seas and in the rivers".
As too lobster, squid, octopus abalone...
Perhaps you eat such things yourself, oh dear. :chew:
