Bible Quotes from Comments

This one is just too good to pass up, from Faye.

Why is part of the Bible quoted, "Render unto Caesar's what is Caesar's, and render unto god what is god's."

But these parts of the Bible are ignored:

"G-d said, 'It is not good that man be alone'. . .and G-d built the rib that He had taken from the man, into a WOMAN, and He brought her to the man."

"Male and Female, He created them. G-d blessed them, and He said to them, 'Be fruitful and multiply.'"

"Therefore shall a man leave his father (not 2 fathers) and his mother (not 2 mothers), and he shall cleave unto his wife (not his husband)."

"Like the practice of the land of Egypt in which you dwelled, do not do."

"You shall not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; it is an abomination."

Green because I want to mix it up. But to answer Faye's question, those parts of the bible are probably ignored for the same reason these quotes are ignored.

Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall bean abomination unto you (Leviticus 11:12)

They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh. (Leviticus 21:5). This refers to priests, but I know plenty of bald priests that do not have beards.

Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woolen come upon thee. (Leviticus 19:19)

When a woman has her regular flow of blood, the impurity of her monthly period will last seven days, and anyone who touches her will be unclean till evening.

“‘Anything she lies on during her period will be unclean, and anything she sits on will be unclean. Anyone who touches her bed will be unclean; they must wash their clothes and bathe with water, and they will be unclean till evening. Anyone who touches anything she sits on will be unclean; they must wash their clothes and bathe with water, and they will be unclean till evening. Whether it is the bed or anything she was sitting on, when anyone touches it, they will be unclean till evening. (Leviticus 15:19-23)

Do to others as you would have them do to you. (Luke 6:31) ~ Would you really want someone to deny YOU a marriage license?

So please, if you want to quote the bible, quote other stuff from the Old Testament as well, Faye.
