No, I agree God wanted Peter to understand he should not see any person as unclean, but He also wanted them to understand all food is clean, as Paul explains in Romans 14.
Your question is incorrect so how can you expect anyone to answer truthfully? But if you asking why adhere to parts of Leviticus and ignore the other Mosiac law is because the sin of Homosexuality is reinforced in the New Testament, diet restrictions are not.
You can't apply one of the laws to others, while following none of them yourself (well, you can, but that makes you a hypocrite). Paul wrote in Galatians
Quote:
All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.
Galatians 3:10
Quote:
Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law by becoming a curse for us.
Galatians 3:13
While Christ was on the cross, He nailed the law to it.
Quote:
having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross.
If you truly want an answer, your questions shouldn't include bashing Christians . This is the first post I've ever read in this forum and I must say, this is very hateful and nasty. Christians do not use Leviticus "to make another person squirm". If that is happening to you, then it's probably the holy spirit convicting you.
Do I care about those commands in Leviticus? Yes but within the context they were given. Christians live in the new covenant, not the old covenant which passed away. So most of us don't give a whole lot of credence beyond the 10 commandments re-iterated in the New Testament.
Christians have been tormenting LGBT folk for decades in this country, and much longer outside of it.
And,yes, Leviticus is part of what is used to attack us.
Acts 10:11- regardless how you think about it Peter was shown a vision and he ate with the Gentiles. God has never instructed anyone to go through the act of homosexuality, an abomination.
You falsely accused the Elect of wanting to watch homosexuals squirm under condemnation. That is a lie and everyone including you knows it. So why demean yourself for saying such things? Or perhaps you cannot help it? Very telling...
Homosexuality is a orientation, not an act. A gay person is still gay whether that person is sexually active or not.

'll just start wth Scott Lively, who stirred up Uganda, and all but authored their anti-gay legislation, that calls for the death penalty for 'repeat offenders' ( people who don't stop being gay, I guess), he was also behind Russia's legislation criminalizing homosexuality. Americans wouldn't let him pull that crap here, so he took his show on the road.
A pastor in Texas said that he wished more people had been killed in the Pulse nightclub massacre in Orlando, he also prayed that the wounded would die.

Paul wrote about half of the NT.
Book\chapter\verse where Paul writes that homosexuality is a orientation

I never stated that Paul wrote that homosexuality is a orientation. No one in that time wrote about homosexuality as an orientation (or heterosexuality for that matter), because relationships weren't seen that way.
Quote:
Sexual orientation refers to an enduring pattern of emotional, romantic and/or sexual attractions to men, women or both sexes. Sexual orientation also refers to a person's sense of identity based on those attractions, related behaviors and membership in a community of others who share those attractions.
Research over several decades has demonstrated that sexual orientation ranges along a continuum, from exclusive attraction to the other sex to exclusive attraction to the same sex. However, sexual orientation is usually discussed in terms of three categories: heterosexual (having emotional, romantic or sexual attractions to members of the other sex), gay/lesbian (having emotional, romantic or sexual attractions to members of one's own sex) and bisexual (having emotional, romantic or sexual attractions to both men and women).
This range of behaviors and attractions has been described in various cultures and nations throughout the world. Many cultures use identity labels to describe people who express these attractions. In the United States the most frequent labels are lesbians (women attracted to women), gay men (men attracted to men), and bisexual people (men or women attracted to both sexes). However, some people may use different labels or none at all.
Sexual orientation is distinct from other components of sex and gender, including biological sex (the anatomical, physiological and genetic characteristics associated with being male or female), gender identity (the psychological sense of being male or female)* and social gender role (the cultural norms that define feminine and masculine behavior).
Sexual orientation is commonly discussed as if it were solely a characteristic of an individual, like biological sex, gender identity or age. This perspective is incomplete because sexual orientation is defined in terms of relationships with others.
People express their sexual orientation through behaviors with others, including such simple actions as holding hands or kissing. Thus, sexual orientation is closely tied to the intimate personal relationships that meet deeply felt needs for love, attachment and intimacy.
In addition to sexual behaviors, these bonds include nonsexual physical affection between partners, shared goals and values, mutual support, and ongoing commitment. Therefore, sexual orientation is not merely a personal characteristic within an individual. Rather, one's sexual orientation defines the group of people in which one is likely to find the satisfying and fulfilling romantic relationships that are an essential component of personal identity for many people.
I am convinced, being fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for that person it is unclean

Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All food is clean, but it is wrong for a person to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble. It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause your brother or sister to fall.
So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God
