Members MsGuy Posted May 31, 2012 Members Share Posted May 31, 2012 1- 'Abomination', as usually used in the Torah, translates better as 'prohibited as being ritually unclean', as in trimming your beard, eating lobster or sleeping with a menstruating woman. 2- The tatoo prohibition probably relates to pagan customs whereby the various gods were honored with tatoos. Flesh cutting (prohibited in the same sentence) was a widespread pagan burial custom at the time. http://bible.cc/leviticus/19-28.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MsGuy Posted May 31, 2012 Members Share Posted May 31, 2012 Happened across this quote later: “The Bible contains six admonishments to homosexuals and 362 admonishments to heterosexuals. That doesn't mean that God doesn't love heterosexuals. It's just that they need more supervision.” attributed to Lynn Lavner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MsGuy Posted June 1, 2012 Members Share Posted June 1, 2012 LOL, use it with my blessing, EXPAT. I happened across it about 15 min. after I posted my first reply. Pure serendipity, it's one of the most delightful aspects of cruising the web. PS. I can't vouch for the accuracy of the admonishment count by Ms. Lavner, so use it at your own risk.
