Levitus 11:10-12 ‘But anything living in sea or river that does not have both fin and scales shall not be eaten. They are unclean for you; you shall not eat their flesh noe even touch their dead bodies. Anything that lives in water, but does not have fins and scales, is unclean for you.
Levitus 19:19 ‘Keep my pracitices. You shall not let your cattle breed with another kind. You shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed. And you shall not wear clothing made of two different materials.’
Please have a look at these two verses. The bible was written a long time ago. Don’t follow it word by word. Besides, mankind has the amazing ability to twist words into their favour.
𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧: The bible is not homophobic. So if you want to be homophobic, find another reason.*
*Just don’t be homophobic. It’s that simple.
Please tell me if I got something wrong. Thanks!
