How is it possible for Christians to apply to small passages from Leviticus to homosexuals while at the same time dismissing other portions of the book as not being applicable for our day (emphasis in the original)?14 The argument essentially is, “If you do not obey all of the book of Leviticus, then you cannot condemn me for my disregard of 18:22 and 20:13.” First of all, let it be noted that a person’s, or a nation’s, obedience to God’s Word does not make a particular commandment valid or binding.
