The book of Leviticus is used as the primary biblical justification for discrimination against homosexuals. So, by that reasoning, God Hates Shrimp as well.

About Me
Hi. I'm Chris Miller. This is my weblog. There are many like it, but this one is mine. If you poke around, you're likely to find short essays mixed with interesting links about science, politics, art, and the intersection of technology and culture.
My day job is doing science in the Genome Institute at Washington University. If you want a lengthy explanation of what I do, take a look at my CV. If you're after the short version, I use computers to help understand why we get cancer and how we might treat it more effectively.
I'm a native St. Louisan, but spent most of the last 5 years in Houston, finishing my PhD. Now that I'm back, I spend a lot of time rediscovering both the city and the great outdoor areas nearby.
Since there are too many Chris Millers in this world, I added my middle initial to get this domain name. I long ago gave up the pretense of web anonymity that many people cling to. To me, this is the natural corollary of all that "be yourself" advice you got in grade school.
You'll find links to my activity elsewhere on the web on my landing page

For those who don’t know the old testament and the new testament are different times. There are different times in the bible.
Example:
The bible says that Adam and Eve should not eat of the TREE of Knowledge of good and evil.
This was the only rule they had to live by. After they broke that rule.
Cain and Able only had to do what was right in their eyes. In other words obey their conscience.
In the New Testament the bible says that Peter was given the Keys.
Matthew 16:17-19
“And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. 18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”
So your reasoning is not sound.

The reasoning is sound.. Jesus gave the keys of the kingdom to Peter but he never says Peter get to change the rules!!! That would be breaking the covenant of the Old Testement which makes no sense Jesus doesn’t null the covenent he fufills it!!!
