Actually what I think you are referring to is Deutronomy 22:11 that says that God’s people were not allowed to mix their materials (wool and linen).
Yes the Isrealites had slaves. Ephesians says that masters should never threaten their slaves because they are the same in God’s eyes. Colossians says that masters have to provide their slaves with what is right and fair. Deuteronomy 23:15 says that if a slave escapes from his masters and takes refuge with you, should not hand him over to his master, you should protect him and set him free. Permanently injured slaves had to be set free. Ex 21:26-27. Slaves also had a day of rest in the week like their Israelite masters. Ex 20:10. All slaves were to be freed after six years and supplied of wine, livestock and grain. Horrible Bosses was probably based on them.
Incidentally it was not rare for slaves to stay with their Israelite masters because they were treated so well and were better off staying with them than wandering alone into a lawless country were the chances that they could me murdered or raped was quite high.
One of the verses people also love to ridicule is where it says in Leviticus that you may not cut yourself or make a baldness between your eyebrows or shave your beard. This was all precautions so that the Israelites could be distinguished from the pagans and have as little to do with them as possible so that they will not adopt their vulgar practices of orgies and child sacrificing. This is something you would have known if you had done a little bit of research, but you judge something you don’t understand.
I have never once in my 20 years of going to church heard anybody saying anything mean about a gay person, but here you are bashing our religion. For people who hate to be judged you sure are very judgemental. All these verses you are taking out of context to make people think that Christians are ignorant , blind followers makes me think that you in fact might be ignorant and compassionless – something of which you accuse Christians, so I guess that makes you hypocrites, too.

Leviticus also talks about the wearing of synthetic materials etc, so hope all the “happy clappys” go to church naked!

Thank you Riaan- I am surprised it caused such a fuss. Reminded me of Archbishop Tutu’s statement:
“I would refuse to go to a homophobic heaven. No, I would say sorry, I mean I would much rather go to the other place,” Archbishop Tutu said at the launch of the Free and Equal campaign in Cape Town.
“I would not worship a God who is homophobic and that is how deeply I feel about this.” (BBC – link to bbc.com)

In reply to Pleb. Billl Murray said: Its hard to win a argument with a smart person, buts it's damn near impossible to win a argument with a stupid person ! All man is destined to die, and then face judgment. Be ready!
