Leviticus is a list of ancient laws followed by the Jewish people in those times and were created by the Jewish people. Not Given by god 1/2
ArcanisTheOmnipotent
My interpretation of what “God wants” is for us to care for each other. So wear your damn masks.
BuffaloChicken
I DONT CARE ABOUT SOME NEW INTERNATIONAL BIBLE. I only care about the ORIGINAL BIBLE written in AMERICA /s
ricekickJR
Aight. Im gonna start yelling out "unclean!" To anti vaxxers now
EaNasirIsABastard
That's actually if they *have* the disease. And they will say that god did a 180 for people who don't have it or don't know they have it.
Volpe42
I find it odd that the armor of God is over looked when it comes to the Bible supporting wearing protection
Krembananen
Fucking throw that stupid book away already.
Honchovilla
Regardless of your religious beliefs, 1000s of years ago, people knew to cover their mouth and nose if sick. Basic hygiene from God.
StunnedGoofy
"As long as they have the disease"
Gorapora
I'm doing all that except crying out "unclean". People can already tell.
TexMexHex
Leviticus is filled with such crazy shit, i.e. dwarfs cant go to church. Crazy people pick the ones that support their bs.
SMarkt
but they try to cover the lower part of their face with bullshit.
exe122
The pro-Trump “Christian” nut jobs have already started attacking the NIV version, claiming it cuts stuff out and is inaccurate.
QuartetOfNerds
I mean... KJV cuts out stuff and is inaccurate too. And adds things outside of the translation aswell.
DATMMrk12
There are several translations of the Bible. Young's Literal Translation specifically mentions Leprosy and says "cover the upper lip". My
DATMMrk12
opinion is that it is very clear that the Mosaic Law understands how infectious disease is spread. To say, "Well this only applies to
DATMMrk12
Leprosy and not COVID" is like saying "The Bible says not to hit your kid, but doesn't mention kicking." Speaking as a practicing Christian,
DATMMrk12
it is abhorrent when we bend the word of God to do what we want it to do.
Deathinition
Unclean! Unclean!!
Jerkyjockey
DrRad
While I agree, this was specifically about leprosy.
Urbautz
Well, that was the pandemic of that time...
DrRad
One of many, if you believe the Bible at all. There is discussion of treatment of numerous plagues.
Urbautz
Yes, but during Jesus Time big issue was Leprosy. Romans were good at record keeping, and they do agree.
DrRad
Sure, but the quote is Old Testament.
jeips
if you want New Testament - Luke 17:12 - jesus enters a town with Lepers, who stay socially distant as was custom
dewdude
They'll just deny this as being part of the bible...the same way they deny the command to love everyone in favor of "hate anyone different"
RoodKontjeAapje
I doubt anyone ever said 'God doesn't want us to wear masks' but ok.
capughe
A lot of people were saying it was an insult to Gods design of the respiratory system.
Volpe42
Leviticus is the rules for the levites, the priest cast. Also this is specifically about leprosy, which made parts of you basically fall...
MagicAndDuctTape
Leviticus has rules about the Levites (it's like one or two chapters) but the majority of it is rules for the general public.
Volpe42
Look at the name of the book
MagicAndDuctTape
Have you actually read it? It's directed at the Levites in how they should perform their duties, but the rules are for the general populace
Volpe42
...off. Now in a looser context though, Jesus was all about serving those around you so wearing a mask to protect them is biblical.
bringbackphrasing
But man is making everyone cover their faces, not just the unclean. So we aren't following God's word
SirJamesMonster42
Yeah but this is from the Jewish part of the Bible, not the New Testament where Jesus teaches Trickle Down economics.
SnapKylePop
Well yeah, but that's the International version. That's not the 'merican bible. The only true bible. /s
thickythickydumdum
I still don't understand why ppl worship bible verses the way they do...as if they descended from heaven on a beam of light for all to read.
StuntdoublesStuntdouble
Techibically, thats the old testament, so no. God doesnt want you to wear a mask
prepyoshi
Even if there was a evil conspiracy killing us vaccinated, I would be happy to go, if it meant not spending the rest of my time with idiots
flacoloco
well shit, I haven't shaved in a year, keep to myself, always wear a mask, and fake cough when I see ppl getting to close to me
georgedragonslayer
Ooo. You do the fake cough thing to? I do that.
flacoloco
I haven't bought clothes in about 2 years, and I moved to a different city from my fam and friends.
flacoloco
this verse speaks to me.
capughe
"But I'm not sick"

Now ask about figs.
skippingmyhsreuniontogetdrunkinmydriveway
What about figs?
EaNasirIsABastard
Don't even talk to me about figs.
huho
Wasps die inside figs while pollinating.
BigHeadWeb
Harryteeters
God hates figs
IComeFromTheInternets
criablelurst
With the low literacy rate this explains a great deal of homophobia
commentfarmer483725596037
In newton form, or just loose?
Smayds
Under Earth gravity, there are 9.80665 Fig Newtons to a Fig Kilogram.
Hu3vosRanch3ros
I thought it was thin mints?
ayeseaturtles
Mark 11: 12-15. Jesus curses a fig tree. And after that he totally overturned tables in the temple. Was he having a bad day, or... ?
Volpe42
The fig tree was a metaphor for Israel
GoodEveningThisIsWhatAButtDoesPBBPPBBTT
Jesus: Fuck you fig tree! Your fruit tastes like shit!
Volpe42
He cursed it to not give fruit anymore
Smayds
"Jesus, that's a turd tree, you silly goose" - some apostle or other
tautaula
I don't give a fig about figs. Tried them, don't like them. More for other people.
ClassyReposts
I don't know if you're aware of this, but fresh figs are a whole different ballgame than dried ones. My GF hates the dried ones and loves
tautaula
Was not aware, actually! Will try one if I am ever offered a fresh fig.
ClassyReposts
the fresh ones.
warmyourbeans
I have a fig tree. It is nice.
techangell2020
This verse is a pretty good description of quarantine and social distancing.
Volpe42
Also specifically about leprosy
rooik14
Not now Billy, the adults are talking.
tautaula
Not sure that's relevant. You are correct, though.
sethr05
Relevant enough they cut it from verbatim
sethr05
Though to be fair if it’s not the whole truth to me it’s a little bit of a lie
Volpe42
A disease that made you slowly fall apart, literally.
rooik14
and this one drowns you in your own fluids. The point stands the bible had the understanding of basic countermeasures to a spreadable 1/2
rooik14
2/2 deadly disease.
MarsIsAfire
lol not relevant. literally explaining the verse and its context, but not relevant. ok.
skellington01
We’re these instructions commanded by god? Or by someone else? If by god, why not just cure the disease?
MarsIsAfire
they didn't pray hard enough
techangell2020
Life is a test, and God makes no claims that he will make your life on Earth better. It is in the afterlife that life will be better.
techangell2020
The Prosperity Doctrine that many of the televangelist promote has little basis in the Bible. Life is never perfect.
techangell2020
Even Jesus, who lived a perfect life, struggled and dealt with all the problems we did. He was persecuted and betrayed, his friends died.
techangell2020
What should be remembered is that with salvation provided, your next life's success is assured. Death and sickness here is only temporary.
