I read somewhere that Lev. 20:18 behaviour contributed to endometriosis, a tumor-like condition in the uterus - often prevents pregancy and as it becomes advanced, requires surgery.
Was that why God forbade the activity? Health reasons?
He does want us "to be health."
"When Christ uttered the cry, 'It is finished,' he knew that the battle was won. As a moral conqueror, he planted his banner on the eternal heights. Was there not joy among the angels? Not a son nor a daughter of Adam but could now lay hold on the merits of the spotless son of God, and say: 'Christ has died for me. He is my saviour...'" - Ellen G. White.

Point taken =o). That command was, however, part of the Mosaic Covenant Law, a law to which those in Christ are no longer bound. Those rules and regs were for Israel, to keep her separate from the world so that Messiah would be recognized when He came.
He has come!
I'm sure someone here will correct me if I'm wrong, but in clearvoice's paradigm, those who become believers do become Israel, so to be 'cut off' for willfully disobeying an edict found in Mosaic Covenant Law would cut one off from Israel, therefore cutting one off from God.(minus the "going to hell" part. Clearvoice actually didn't say that either.)
You do the math.
Not doing anything of the sort. Just disagreeing with someone's interpretation that those in Christ are bound to Mosaic Covenant Law. Lots of support in the New Testament for that view - for the Law 'keeping' view - not so much.Have fun making fun of the Bible.
But feel free to continue to lob your ad hom snarky comments my way . . . you do significant damage to your position by throwing rotten fruit.
By all means, carry on.

HIS belief system??????? Oh-my-golly.
JG, do you think that this type of abomidable activity would be something a person should repent of, or continue in?
Would continuing in this activity be approved of by Yahshua...especially when Yahshua condemns it?

Exactly. I don't know how she can continue to claim that she's not mocking Scripture when she clearly is. JGIG is insinuating that all those Israelites were just subject to the whims of a bipolar god, and she's the enlightened Christian who doesn't have to put up with such nonsense because Jesus died.
In other words, God made up a bunch of bull for the Hebrews to muck around with just for giggles, had all these OT prophets call that bull "truth" and "life", and then turn around 2000 years later and randomly change His mind and call everything He ever said before "bondage" and no longer true, thus making it a lie, thus making God a liar and a purveyor of bull. How is such a perverted theology NOT mockery?
That attitude sickens me, quite frankly. Making fun of believing what the Scriptures say is true is mockery any way you slice it. The logical conclusion to such reasoning is plainly evident to anyone who has eyes to see and ears to hear.

actually i belive those rules were made so they will not get sick. them and the whole village afterwards.the same for the mold etc.it was not made up for giggles it was necessary at that time.when people increased their knowledge in those things it was not necessary anymore. my 2 cts.Exactly.

So that verse is saying it is wrong for married men and women to practice oral as well! Sorry, but I don't buy it.
Please forgive me for being that graphic. I wasn't sure how else to phrase it.
