13 Things The Bible Forbids (That You’re Probably Guilty Of Doing)
13 Things The Bible Forbids (That You’re Probably Guilty Of Doing)
1) Eating A Ham Sandwich
Lunch time? Leviticus 11:7-8 reads: And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you. Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you.
2) Tattoos
Thinking of getting the Superman insignia on your bicep? Leviticus 19:28 states: Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.
3) Rounded Haircuts
Off to the barber? Leviticus 19:27 states: Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard.
4) Men With Injured Or Cut Off Private Parts Entering Houses Of God
It's bad enough if you're a man who has had his private parts injured -- or heaven forbid cut off -- but to add insult to injury, Deuteronomy 23:1 states: He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD.
5) Consulting Psychics
Have you ever had your palm read? Or maybe you've consulted your horoscope for a little guidance? Leviticus 19:31 reads: Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God.
6) Gossiping
Heard some juicy news about Harold in the accounting department? Can't wait to tell your BFF that you just read that Snooki is pregnant? Leviticus 19:16 states: Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbour; I am the LORD.
7) Wives Helping Out Their Husbands In A Fight
Gentlemen -- if you ever get in a fight and you get the feeling your lady might jump in and lend you a hand by squeezing your opponent's... ahem... "secrets," you'd better stop her. Deuteronomy 25:11-12 states: When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets Then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity her.
8) Children Cursing Their Parents
Kids these days -- you never know what's going to come out of their mouths! But hopefully your child doesn't curse you because Exodus 21:17 states: "And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death."
9) Getting Remarried After Getting Divorced
When it comes to the Bible, this is a big no-no (unless your spouse was cheating on you): Mark 10:11-12 states: Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.
10) Working On The Sabbath
In our fast-paced society, does anyone really work Monday to Friday from 9-5? Exodus 31:14-15 states: "Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people. Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.
11) Women Speaking In Houses Of God
Headed to church, ladies? 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 states: Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
12) Eating Shrimp, Lobster, And Other Assorted Seafood
Craving a big bowl of popcorn shrimp? Leviticus 10-11 states: And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you: They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.
13) Losing Your Virginity Before You Get Married
Today it might be harder to find a bride who is a virgin rather than the other way around. But Deuteronomy 22:20-21 states: But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel: Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father's house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you

Just for the fun of it........
Nobody's perfect.
That's a whole lot of "shall be put to death." And you thought Sharia was bad.
1) Eating A Ham Sandwich - I'm not really a ham eater ( I think I could sneak under the radar with this one)
2) Tattoos - My skin has never been defiled (but I've been thinking about getting one)
3) Rounded Haircuts - Long and flowing (I pass this one with flying colors)
4) Men With Injured Or Cut Off Private Parts Entering Houses Of God - I'm exempt from this one (Although I've been told I can be pretty ballsy sometimes)
5) Consulting Psychics - Okay...my best girlfriend took me on my 18th birthday (but I would never have gone myself or thought of it....does that count?)
6) Gossiping - I'm not in the habit of gossiping but I know who is........lol
7) Wives Helping Out Their Husbands In A Fight - I'm so glad I came across this one. Now I have an excuse when my husband tells me I should back him up.
8) Children Cursing Their Parents - Since I'm an adult and no longer a child can I curse them now?
9) Getting Remarried After Getting Divorced - Oopsie
10) Working On The Sabbath - This is my most favorite one but I've been told by someone (whom I won't name on NT) that there is something called a blue law......
11) Women Speaking In Houses Of God - I am happy to report that I will never break this rule
12) Eating Shrimp, Lobster, And Other Assorted Seafood - This makes no sense to me....what in the world are we supposed to eat on fish Fridays?
13) Losing Your Virginity Before You Get Married - Ummmm.......I plead the fifth but I will say I could wear white on graduation day and a while after that. :o)
Not many people-- of any religion-- follow many of the commandments in their holy books. I have Jewish friends-- as far as I know, none of them go the synagogue and sacrifice a calf or goat to their god on their holy days! And how many Christians actually follow the teaching of Jesus (Peace Be Upon Him)?
I think Barbossa said it best "The code is more of what you'd call "guidelines" than actual rules"!!!
