Why aren't there more ministries centered around these obvious abominations? Where are the websites and newsletters calling for fire and brimstone for these abominations???

Good question. I've noticed that, for many, there is a dividing of the laws of the OT into two parts: those that still apply today and those that don't. Some seem to think the Ten Commandments are the only part of OT law that still applies. Yet, in practice, at least one of the those is largely ignored (remember the Sabbath). And there are non-TC laws that are assumed to be in effect (e.g., incest, tithing, cross-dressing). Many things are assumed to be nullified (at least apparently, based on practice), such as the shell fish rules (and many other eating laws) and certain penalty laws, such as putting disobedient children to death.

So, how are we to know which OT laws apply to us today? (Don't stone me! I'm just asking! )

BTW, not all insects are forbidden. You may eat locusts and beetles, for example! Leviticus 11:22

You don't see incest as a sin today?

[ManOfWord]

Uh, oh! Does that mean I am in trouble because I love King crab legs and lobster? This could be serious!

Is there any of these that can be seen here at AFF?

Are any of these manifested on AFF?

Many abominable manifestations take place here, in our homes, churches ... you name it Rev.

They do indeed, and that my freind is what I must be on guard against in my life.

I wasn't judging the lists. Yes, I think incest is sin today (just to be clear!)
