Question:

Why do even devout Christians not follow the Bible, only parts they like?

To begin with, this is not some Athiest trying to piss off religious people. It‘s a genuine question that I would like an answer to. I‘m very interested in theology and am always looking for good, intelligent opinions on the issues seen concerning the bible.Now then. Leveticus quotes that homosexuality is an abomination, and many religious people are quick to throw this around. But it also states that shaving is a sin, as is eating pork, wearing polyester, and having a vegetable garden.It also says that God commands mildewy clothing to be burned and adulterers to be stoned and cut off from their people. The breaking of some of these results in death or excommunication.But of course, these sins are commited daily across the board.I wonder, is there something I missed that states these are no longer sins? Or are they just sins people have decided to commit anyways, not following the word of God?

Answer:

Friend You are using OT scriptures, Do you know how to bring the OT up with the NT, Romans 10:4 For CHRIST is The what? The end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. Romans 8:1 There is therefore now NO condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit. 2: For the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin death 3: For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh for sin, condemned sin in the fleash. The bible also says that the law was a shadow of things to come. Colossians 2:16-17 Let no man therefore Judge you in meat(pork) or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or in the new moon, or of the sabbath days, (Saturday Sunday)17: Which are a shadow of things to come but the body is of Christ. So therfore, I am doing what the bible says to do not just some of it.
you should be able to still drive it. Hit up an autozone first to see what the CEL is, and how major/minor the issue is.
Leveticus quotes that homosexuality is an abomination, and many religious people are quick to throw this around. But it also states that shaving is a sin, as is eating pork, wearing polyester, and having a vegetable garden. Yes, but the New Testament also states that homosexuality is an abomindation. The NT doesn't say anything about shaving or eating pork or wearing polyester or having a garden. Jesus had something to say about adulterers being stoned in John 8. But Jesus said nothing to refute or supercede Leviticus' teaching on homosexuality. That's the difference. .
I am a Christian and try my best to avoid as much sin as I can but the fact is.I am only human and I, just like every other christian, will sin. That is why Jesus died.for our sins. If you really study your Bible and find out when and where things in the Bible happened you will see that God does not want us to stone people or put anyone to death. At the same time, he does not want us to judge either. Many people in general (not just Christians) listen to what they want to here. I have been working on this problem for a long time. I mean, when I first started my journey I only read into the Bible as I wanted to (I didn't realize that was what I was doing at the time). Much of the old law in the Bible was put there for the safety of God's children. If you look into history you will see that much of it is not necessary anymore. The world is different. We don't have the same problems people from the OT had. Many religious people are quick to throw around many points in the Bible. Some have no idea what they are talking about, others do. We are all just human. Christians make just as many mistakes and sin just as much as non Christians. The only difference is that non Christians will pay for their sins were as Christians have been saved by the blood of Jesus. I pray today that you will soon accept Jesus into your heart. Have a blessed New Year!
yeah still drivable. but you should still get it checked out
