So Babel what are you trying to say about the Filipino’s? To me you make it sound like they are the only people that do it. Eating dog it is so very common in Asia. Though this is a terrible subject to contemplate for Westerners, dog-eating occurs in most of China, Vietnam, Laos, most of Africa, Korea and parts of India. And the Thai’s sell their dogs to Laos so they can eat them. So what’s your point? As far Catholics are concerned which I am one. They are not sinning because you refer to Jewish law. Not to the New Testament Law reference Mark 7:19 as far as Old Jewish Law reference Leviticus 11:7-8. Babel you pick and choose what you think is proper for people. But you choose to live with a woman and not be married. There has never been any custom or legal concept more important in maintaining a proper civilized society than the marriage covenant between a man and a woman. This has been recognized throughout history especially by those who adhere to the normal traditions associated with Christianity. In point of fact, it can be said without equivocation that the institution of marriage and the preservation of the family unit which results from the marriage union represent the essential principles that govern the very foundations of a proper society. So which values do you want the Filipino’s to adopt? ….Yours I find them highly questionable. I really hate to quote the Bible to people but I felt like you slapped both cheeks didn’t have one left. So I could not turn the other cheek. As a self proclaimed journalist get the facts before you write a another piece of rubbish like this.
Get you facts before you write.
Leviticus 11:7-8
And the pig, because it parts the hoof and is cloven-footed but does not chew the cud, is unclean to you. You shall not eat any of their flesh, and you shall not touch their carcasses; they are unclean to you.
Mark 7:19
Since it enters not his heart but his stomach, and is expelled?” (Thus he declared all foods clean.)
1 Corinthians 7:2
But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband.
1 Corinthians 7:1-40
Now concerning the matters about which you wrote: “It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman.” But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband. The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband. For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. ...
1 Corinthians 6:18
Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body.
