It touches on just that...literally following the bible. Your friend might just be surprised at how little he does follow the bible. I mean...how kosher can Chinese food be? (No where in the new testament does Christ say anything dismissing the generations of dietary practice, so we should in theory still be following our Jewish brethren in this regard). <BR/><BR/>And how about that whole week when women are unclean? Next time he goes in for a hug mention you're on the rag and Leviticus 15:19-30 states if he touches you or anything you've sat upon, handled or otherwise brushed against for the that matter...he too becomes unclean. And kindly ask him to join you to chapel on the eighth day with two pigeons that the priest may atone your uncleanliness. Hell...just point to the first part of Leviticus 15 and he'll have to reconsider masturbation as well. His own "issue" makes him unclean for seven days. So in manly terms...everyday upon hitting puberty.<BR/><BR/>If the literalism continues to keep you down, take a peek at this website:http://skepticsannotatedbible.com<BR/><BR/>God does work in mysterious ways and to ere is human. Hopefully your friend realizes he too is human and perhaps came on too strongly in his faith.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12456582802798016297noreply@blogger.com
