Christians don't go to hell, they just die and that's it... people around the dead christian go "I wonder if s/he's in hell right now, for eating those shrimp..." and then they blindly live out their lives until they die, and then more people hover around the dead christians thinking the same thing and then waste more time believing, and then they die, and then more people, and die, and more die, and die, die... die...

There's no way to stop it though... they will all just believe that an invisible omnipotent god that created the whole everything and is to incredibly complex that not even if all of the people in history were combined in one single consciousness could ever even come close to imagining what it would be like to imagine the greatness of, has told someone a long time ago that if they eat shrimp they will burn in eternal hellfire for all time.

Mosaic laws don't apply to Christians. Paul, in the new testament does speak against homosexuality, but not against shrimp. So unfortunately the argument is fairly good for standard Christians. Of course... whether or not Paul is a prophet of God just like Jesus was is open to a far more interesting debate.

Part of the justification used to negate large portions of weird shit in the Old Testament is that Jesus Christ brought an end to the old law, establishing a supposed "new covenant." This is why Christians don't follow the vast majority of the old laws, because Jesus trimmed them down to their principles. They mostly use it as a sort of historical reference/ predictions for the future (prophecies), and look to the gospel on how to live their daily lives.

It makes sense as far as practicality goes. They'd probably lose a lot of popular support if they started requiring followers to sacrifice animals every Sunday after church.

As far as i know, christians don't keep kosher in accordance with the old ways, so therefore they believe that they won't go to hell. But in my own opinion, hell is a thought to make society a better more peaceful place, not necessarily an actual, physical place since there is no actual proof of it being there.

The end result of whether one goes to hell or not is not something so trivial that can be decided by one's diet.

Christians who eat shrimp won't go to hell because they have jesus in their hearts meaning they definitely go to heaven. if your a christian who dosent have jesus in their heart, i would ask him today and ask him to forgive yo..u, then it will be alright.

No, they just smell like fish.

No God is that ridiculous. I happen to love shrimp and I'm a Christian.

I don't really get the reason for this rule. It just doesn't make sense how it would make us better Christians in the first place by not eating shrimp, or why eating it would make someone deserve eternity in hell. It's shrimp, that's it, nothing evil about it. Like the polyester-cotton mix rule, this just seems like a law not created by God, but by whoever was writing it at the time for their own reasons.

no, where the fuck did you get that? lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

Hell is not a real place. Neither is heaven. Earth, however, is a real place. Concenrtrate your efforts here with the rest of us.

The same ones that believe that you should go to hell for being gay and they you should be killed for having sex before marriage do go to hell for eating shrimp. lol However,the sane ones don't go to hell for eating shrimp. The whole point of Christianity being separate from related religions such as Judaism is that Christians are supposed to live by the New testament. Now,eating shrimp..well shellfish in general was an abomination in the old testament along with just about everything else. But the new testament exist so that all of the old abominations become...well not an abomination.

I've heard a number of arguments on subject matter like this. Here's my argument. According to Christian and Jewish faith, Christ died for the sins of humanity (which Christians commonly mistaken as exclusive to Christianity), save from the unforgivable sin, i.e. denial of Christ and thinking tou can do his job better than he can. Now, I'm a Pagan-Christian, so I at least acknowledge and accept Christ as Lord and saviour. As long as you accept Christ as your lord and saviour, you are fine. All the stuff in the Bible is just fluff for all the ostrich-lemming hybrids to entertain themselves with, and in my opinion, those who take it upon themselves to pass judgement unto others are in immediate danger of acheiving that unforgivable sin.

Those Leviticus passages are dangerous and should be removed from the Bible.

People are born in sin, and must repent. John or Matthew...

nope, they wrote this in the bible to install wisdom, n back then in israel, ppl usually fish in fresh water areas like the sea of galilee, n i can tell u dat in these areas, finless or scaless fish r poisonous n come on ppl, god said dat u only go to hell if u breach the golden rule "treat others like you wanted to be treated" severly.
