This is a genuine question, because one of the reasons I left Christianity (I was raised Christian) was that I didn’t like how they hate gay people, are pro-life, etc., and overall are pretty hypocritical. But as I got older, I realized there are Catholics who are pro-choice, aren’t homophobic, and don’t have an issue with having sex before marriage, etc., and basically are not stereotypical religious people at all. But I have to ask—how do they justify this? I mean, it must be very confusing, because if the Bible does say being gay is a sin and you are not homophobic and are pro-LGBTQ+, then you are basically saying sinning is okay, which goes against their very religion. How about Catholics who swear? Basically, how do liberal Christians/Catholics justify their religion? Why be religious if you aren’t going to go all in?
“Blended fabrics” happened to be specifically linen and wool. Anything else, from what I researched, is fine. The verse from the YLT is as follows (Deuteronomy 22:11):
`Thou dost not put on a mixed cloth, wool and linen together.
Apparently, from what I searched, only the Levitical priests were to have this combination as a result of this. Otherwise, people would be confused if a non-priest were to wear this combination.
For your point on shellfish, that’s directly in reference to the Kashrut system (not the one Khazars practice nowadays) found in Leviticus 16. It’s that simple, really.
Those are two of 83 commandments most people who practice the Scriptures absolutely hate.
