No, Cocknail (decided to change it after someone told me that they'd already called you that Crock), what I want you to do is list all 30 references that you claim are in the Bible, and back it up with verses, like I've already done. By the way douchebag, a question that I would like you to answer is how in the hell you can possibly think that an athiest (someone who DOESN'T believe in God), is such an authority on the Bible? You are stupid of the first water dude.
And......another thing.........
Since you like to denigrate homosexuals with your "scholarly blogs", I'd also like to know what you know about a book called "Leviticus". You do know that one right? Did you realize that it was a priestly manual for one small section of the tribes of Israel? They were called the Levites, which is to say, they were the priest class of Israel. And, to hammer that home in your pinhead brain, I'd like to ask what in the hell a Christian is doing, trying to use a book that is most DEFINITELY not theirs?
Oh yeah.....here's the reference......
Leviticus (from Greek Λευιτικός, "relating to the Levites"). In Judaism it is third book of the Torah which are the five books of Moses, it's transliteration is 'Vayikra'. In the Christian bible it is also the third book of what is referred to as the Old Testament.
The Book of Leviticus is often described as a set of legal rules, and priestly rituals, but it actually forms the central core of a larger narrative - the Torah or Pentateuch. More accurately, therefore, Leviticus is about the outworking of God's covenant with Israel, set out in Genesis and Exodus - what is seen in the Torah as the consequences of entering into a special relationship with God. These consequences are spelt out in terms of community relationships and behaviour.
The first 16 chapters and the last chapter of the book describe the Priestly Code, detailing ritual cleanliness, sin-offerings, and the Day of Atonement, including Chapter 12 which mandates male circumcision. Chapters 17-26 describe the holiness code, including the injunction in chapter 19 to "love one's neighbor as oneself" (the Great Commandment). Among its many prohibitions, the book uses the word "abomination" 16 times, including dietary restrictions prohibiting shellfish, certain fowl, and "Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon all four, or whatsoever hath more feet among all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them ye shall not eat; for they are an abomination"(chapter 11); and sexual restrictions, prohibiting adultery, incest, and lying "with mankind, as with womankind" (chapter 18, see also chapter 20); the book similarly prohibits eating pork and rabbits because they are "unclean." The rules in Leviticus are generally addressed to the descendants of Israel, except for example the prohibition in chapter 20 against sacrificing children to rival god Molech, which applies equally to "the strangers that sojourn in Israel", see also proselytes.
According to tradition, Moses authored Leviticus[1] as well as the other four books of the Torah. According to the documentary hypothesis, Leviticus derives almost entirely from the priestly source (P), marked by emphasis on priestly concerns, composed c 550-400 BC, and incorporated into the Torah c 400 BC.
