Is Jesus hurt when we violate Leviticus 18.19?

No, quite the opposite. Jesus often criticized the traditions and rituals of the Pharisees because they just burdened man and did nothing to promote a fellowship with God. True faith in God means coming into fellowship and contact with Him--that is the crux. http://tinyurl.com/o44bt

As I am Jewish, I find a lot of contradictions in Christians. And narrow minded ideals, which is also a contradiction, as Jesus taught the exact OPPOSITE of that sort of behaviour. So forgive me, but you goyim just confuse the hell out of me.

The Bible nor Christianity advocates hurting anyone. It is the people that hurt others. \nPeople make mistakes and people are sometimes hateful without thinking of others and their feelings but noone should b mad at GOD for what people do. \nWe just need to learn to love as Christ did. He loved the person but not the sin and when someone did sin He did not walk up and condemn them to hell he humbly pointed out their wrong ( usually by asking them a question that caused them to stop and think ).

Trinitarians who point to Zechariah 12:10 do their cause a disservice when they pretend that unitarians (lower-case "u") misunderstand the original Hebrew there. Bible students and scholars have long acknowledged that "me whom they have pierced" is the LITERAL translation of this verse.\n\nBut this Scripture is *NOT* to be taken literally.\n\nClearly, any parent would feel the pain of his child. When Christ Jesus the Son was cut, of course his Father Jehovah felt that pain. Trinitarians and non-Trinitarian Christians alike should well-understand this point, and note that "the Father" remained in heaven when "the Son" was impaled on earth.\n\n(Luke 23:46) Jesus called with a loud voice and said: "Father, into your hands I entrust my spirit." When he had said this, he expired. \n\n\nInterestingly, bible prophesy shows that *EVEN MARY* the human mother of Jesus would feel this stabbing pain when the human Jesus was impaled. Would Mary constitute a fourth member of a Quadity instead of a Trinity?\n\n(Luke 2:34-35) [The prophet] Simeon blessed them [Joseph, Mary, and the infant Jesus], but said to Mary its mother: "Look! This one is laid for the fall and the rising again of many in Israel and for a sign to be talked against 35 (yes, a long sword will be run through the soul of you yourself)\n\n\nRotherham, American Standard Version, Moffatt, An American Translation and Revised Standard Version all use "him" instead of "me" either in the main body of the text itself or in a footnote as an honest alternative.\n\n\nSadly trinitarians repeatedly misapply scripture while they insist upon worldly philosophy, Greek paganisms, and quotes from other Babylon-loving Trinitarians to support their unscriptural ideas. By contrast, Jehovah's Witnesses believe that the Scriptures alone quite plainly demonstrate that Jesus and the Almighty are separate distinct persons, and the Almighty created Jesus as His firstborn son.\n\n(Colossians 1:15) the firstborn of all creation\n\n(Mark 10:18) Jesus said to him: 'Why do you call me good? Nobody is good, except one, God.\n\n(Revelation 3:14) the Amen says, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation by God\n\n(Philippians 2:5-6) Christ Jesus, who, although he was existing in God's form, gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God\n\n(John 8:42) Neither have I come of my own initiative at all, but that One sent me forth\n\n(John 12:49) I have not spoken out of my own impulse, but the Father himself who sent me has given me a commandment as to what to tell and what to speak\n\n(John 14:28) I am going my way to the Father, because the Father is greater than I am\n\n(1 Corinthians 15:28) But when all things will have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will also subject himself to the One who subjected all things to him\n\n(Matthew 20:23) this sitting down at my right hand and at my left is not mine to give, but it belongs to those for whom it has been prepared by my Father\n\n(1 Corinthians 11:3) I want you to know that the head of every man is the Christ; ...in turn the head of the Christ is God\n\n(John 20:17) I am ascending to my Father and your Father and to my God and your God.\n\n(Deuteronomy 6:4) Jehovah our God is one Jehovah\n\n(1 Corinthians 8:4-6) There is no God but one. For even though there are those who are called "gods," whether in heaven or on earth, just as there are many "gods" and many "lords," there is actually to us one God the Father, out of whom all things are, and we for him\n\nThanks again for an opportunity to share what the bible actually says about the distinct persons of Jesus Christ the Son and Jehovah God the Father!\n\nLearn more!\nhttp://watchtower.org/library/ti/index.htm\nhttp://watchtower.org/e/ti/

Ok here goes.\n\nFirst off, you need to revise your question. Matthew 7:9-10 says,"\n\n\nAnd Mark 7:9-10 says this " He said to them, "All too well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition.  For Moses said, 'Honor your father and your mother'; and, 'He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.\n\n\nNow in the OT (Old Testament) that was the Law.\n\nIn this passage though, it was allegory. If you read before and after these verses you will see that the Pharisees were trying to stump Jesus with another question/accusation, and ended up making themselves look like fools. Lets examine this, shall we?\n\nk, lets put things into context.\n\nMark 7\n\n2 Now when they (pharisees) saw some of His disciples eat bread with defiled, that is, with unwashed hands, they found fault(they found something with which to accuse him). \n\n3 For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands in a special way, holding the tradition of the elders. \n\n4 When they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they wash. And there are many other things which they have received and hold, like the washing of cups, pitchers, copper vessels, and couches.\n\n5 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked Him, "Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands?"\n\n6 He answered and said to them, "Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: 'This people honors Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me.\n\n7 And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.'\n\n8 "For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men*--the washing of pitchers and cups, and many other such things you do."\n\n9 He said to them, "All too well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition.\n\n10 For Moses said, 'Honor your father and your mother';  and, 'He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.'\n  \n11 But you say, 'If a man says to his father or mother, "Whatever profit you might have received from me is Corban"--' (that is, a gift to God),\n\n \n\n12 then you no longer let him do anything for his father or his mother,\n\n   ***They ended up making Gods law void by picking and choosing what they would and would not follow. See the next verse***\n\n13 making the word of God of no effect through your tradition which you have handed down. And many such things you do(that aint the only thing you do)."\n\n14 When He had called all the multitude to Himself, He said to them, "Hear Me, everyone, and understand: \n\n15 There is nothing that enters a man from outside which can defile him; but the things which come out of him, those are the things that defile a man.\n\n   ***Nothing you enters you from the mouth makes you unclean, it is the things exit your mouth which defile you.***\n\n16 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!" \n\n17 When He had entered a house away from the crowd, His disciples asked Him concerning the parable. \n\n18 So He said to them, "Are you thus without understanding also? Do you not perceive that whatever enters a man from outside cannot defile him, \n\n19 because it does not enter his heart but his stomach, and is eliminated, thus purifying all foods?"\n\n20 And He said, "What comes out of a man, that defiles a man. \n\n21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, \n\n22 thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness. \n     \n***These are the things that defile a man, examine the above two verses carefully***  \n\n23 All these evil things come from within and defile a man." \n\nAs for the commands to kill you are refering to, yes they are not metaphor, They where rules for capital punishment. \n\nIf a

Christians don't think that.  What is your point?  Paul rebukes the Jewish Christians for telling the Gentiles to get circumsized.  We are to place our trust in Christ and not works or rituals.  We are to have the heart and mind of Christ.  Neither Greek  nor Jew, but we are one in Christ.

I asked some people about that yesterday. Apparently it was only supposed to apply to the Israelites... At least that's what they all said but I haven't fact checked it yet.\nThe abominations are the same.\n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AqnbbDeGVoLENsNqVkflpGvsy6IX?qid=1006051123125\n\nHere's a link to the questions I asked in regards to leviticus...

The bible even foretells that Jesus true disciples will be ridiculed and persecuted, so don't be surprised.\nOne more thing, you should try out spell check, it works wonders.

Our sins were what Jesus died for. Also Jesus was crucified on a cross, that was done by the Romans. The Jews way would of been stoning. Give the Jews a break - they have paid plenty for anything they did with Jesus being put to death.\n\np.s. They are still God's people.

arent you tired of misquoting Leviticus yet?

The church has a tradition of molesting and abusing children which goes back centuries. Maybe because there is nothing in the bible that specifically says harming children is wrong. In fact Psalms:137:9 says Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.

No the Bible does not condone this, but unfortunately, like everything else, it is often twisted around to excuse people's bad behavior.\n\nJesus asked that if a person could not love his brother who he has seen, how can he love God who he has not seen.\n\nOften a person will say, "Oh, well that refers to SPIRITUAL" brothers and sisters". I can treat my physical brother like crap .... and still be a CHRISTIAN.\n\nStrange, these same perverts want their kids to honor their "FLESHLY" parents, don't they? I call them pervert because they pervert Jesus teachings.\n\nTo these folks, it doesn't matter what the bible has ever said ... people make it up as they go along and change the interpretation of the scripture to justify their circumstances.\n\nOften the scripture in Luke, is misused by many. It says, "If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. " -- Luke 14:26\n\nHere is a location the Church has perverted the scripture in the interpretation. The Greek for this does not imply HATE. It simply implies to love them less than him.

Look, I feel attacked for my beliefs, too, but being in our position is very difficult. We need to be good, loving, turn-the-other-cheek, WWJD people while fighting evil. And the fact that Christianity and Conservatism has been hijacked by those who would do their own evil will above the good of this country and her citizens, doesn't help much either...we're in bad company...even though there are many good people who are both Christian and Conservative.\n\nOne problem is that many people say that Jesus was tolerant. He was tolerant of people that broke God's laws because they didn't know any better. That is how he brought so many to believe in him....he showed them compassion....but he never said "You have been saved, now go back to the life you were living." He said, "You have been saved, now go and sin no more." He also never spoke against any of the Jewish laws forbidding sins such as adultery, homosexuality, stealing, prostitution, etc...he never said any of that was okay, just that if they were willing to turn away from their sins, they could be forgiven. Most people that like to say Jesus was a liberal don't think of those two points.\n\nAlso, Jesus would never say that abortion is okay. There's just NO WAY that would have happened.\n\nHe would have been for the death penalty IF we could find an executioner whose life was without sin.\n\nLiberals want to hijack Jesus for their vision of "tolerance" but not look at the laws that Jesus himself abided by...the laws that his FATHER made.\n\nLastly, it's just too convenient and easy for these liberals to cast stones and try to place blame and find fault then it would be to really address the issues that conservatives feel are most important.\n\nYou're not alone! God Bless!

YES, if you're asking about OT times (prior to the time of Jesus' death).  This is the reason why Jesus' celebacy should be unquestioned.  Leviticus 15:16-18 reads:\n\n16 ‘If any man has an emission of semen, then he shall wash all his body in water, and be unclean until evening. 17 And any garment and any leather on which there is semen, it shall be washed with water, and be unclean until evening. 18 Also, when a woman lies with a man, and there is an emission of semen, they shall bathe in water, and be unclean until evening.\n\nThe whole point of Jesus being a perfect sacrifice is that He never sinned and He was never defiled.  As you can see from the passage quoted above, ejaculation defiles a man.  Therefore, as difficult as it may seem for us to understand, Jesus never had sex.\n\nHowever, Christians under the New Covenant are not subject to Leviticus 15.\n\nPeace.

yep because the jews were trying to say this in acts 15\n\n5Then some of the believers who belonged to the party of the Pharisees stood up and said, "The Gentiles must be circumcised and required to obey the law of Moses...\n\n& 11 says this 11No! We believe it is through the grace of our Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are."\n\nand its summed up with what you say in the Question\n\n19& 20 19"It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not make it difficult for the Gentiles who are turning to God20Instead we should write to them, telling them to abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals and from blood.

Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. \nI have learned a great deal from you, and I try to share that knowledge \nwith as many people as I can. \nI do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other specific \nBiblical laws and how to follow them.\n\na) When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a \npleasing odor for the Lord (Lev. 1:9). The problem is my neighbors. \nThey claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?\n\nb) I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in \nExodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price \nfor her?\n\nc) I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her \nperiod of menstrual uncleanness (Lev.15:19-24). The problem is, how do I tell? \nI have tried asking, but most women take offense. If I come into contact with \na woman who is menstruating and she doesn't tell me until afterwards, must I \nkill her immediately or can I just beat her?\n\nd) Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, \nprovided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims\nthat this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? \nWhy can't I own Canadians?\n\ne) I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 \nclearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill \nhim myself? Also, is Sabbath on Saturday as Seventh Day Adventists \n(Christians, like us...or are they?) or is it on Sunday as Baptists and \nsome other faiths agree? I am beset by not knowing who to kill and when \nto kill them...please clarify this for me.\n\nf) A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination\n (Lev. 11:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality (Lev. 18:22). \nI don't agree. I'm also confused about how homosexuality can be an abomination \nwhen Jonathan and David were married in the Bible (1 Samuel 18:1, 3 - 4). \nHere, I'll quote it - "And it came to pass, when he had made an end of \nspeaking unto Saul that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David \nand Jonathan loved him as his own soul. Then Jonathan and David made a \ncovenant, because he loved him as his own soul. And Jonathan stripped himself\nof the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his garments, even \nto his sword and to his bow and to his girdle." and also Ruth's relationship \nwith Naomi is suspect, (Ruth 1:16-17) "And Ruth said to Naomi, Entreat me not \nto leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, \nI will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, \nand thy God my God: Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: \nthe Lord do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part three and me.\n" Can you settle this?\n\ng) Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a \ndefect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my \nvision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?\n\nh) Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around \ntheir temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev.19:27 and even \nthough 1st Cor. 11:4-6 says that it is a shame upon a man to have long hair. \nHow should they die?\n\ni) I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me \nunclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves? Also, since it is \nstrictly forbidden to "eat neither fat nor blood" in Lev. 3:17 & Lev. 19:26, \ndoes that mean that I must be a vegetarian and must I smite those who choose \nto eat meat?\n\nj) My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by planting two different \ncrops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two \ndifferent kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse \nand blaspheme a lot. Is i
