Pat Robertson: I defy homosexuals to bring forth a baby from part of the anatomy they concentrate on

Pat Robertson to LGBT students: ‘Bring forth a baby’ or ‘shut your mouth’

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/08/10/pat-robertson-to-lgbt-students-bring-forth-a-baby-or-shut-your-mouth/



Televangelist Pat Robertson says that LGBT students protesting Christian fast food chain Chick-fil-A at about 30 colleges and universities across the U.S. should “shut their mouth” until they can “bring forth a baby from that part of the anatomy which they concentrate on.”

During his Friday 700 Club broadcast, Robertson said he was outraged that activists were protesting “a piece of white meat chicken between two pieces of white bread.”

“I was reading today in Leviticus, which is the law of the Old Testament, but it lays out the reasons why land will vomit out its inhabitants and it goes through a category of stuff we are calling constitutional rights: killing babies, offering them to Moloch, and it says it is an abomination for a man to lie with a man as with a woman,” the TV preacher explained.

“It’s what it says. That is the moral law that God set forth and now we’ve got people at a university petitioning because somebody said I believe that marriage is between a man and a woman.”

Robertson added: “I defy these homosexuals to bring forth a baby from that part of the anatomy which they concentrate on, when that happens I will change everything I’m saying; until that happens, I wish those demonstrators would shut their mouth.”

I'm certainly no biblical scholar but something tells me that they don't call the part of the bible the "New Testament" that for no reason, right. I was under the impression that Jesus' birth, death, and resurrection essentially wiped the slateboard clean on the "Old Testament". As such, why should we even be preoccupied with what's in the Old Testament aside from its historical value?

i've never quite understood the relationship between christianity and the old testament.
it's not completely discarded, but it's hardly ignored, either.

i mean, show me someone obsessed with the ten commandments and odds are it's a christian and not a jew, even though there's no ten commandments in the new testament. jews don't particularly feel the ten commandments have any greater significance than any of the other 603 laws of the torah.

but oh, there's some good passages to justify bigotry against homosexuals, so suddenly right-wing christians are all over leviticus for that one. but let's ignore the other laws, of course.

And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name of the LORD, shall be put to death.

Leviticus 25

3 Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof;

If "bringing forth a baby" is the reason for marriage, how does he feel about infertile or post-menopausal couples who marry? No babies there....

http://www.stjohnsmcc.org/new/BibleAbuse/Leviticus.php

"... Both this verse and the other from Leviticus (see below) appear in a holiness code that applied to Israel rather than to gentile Christians in an age of grace. Both occur in the clear context of opposition to the practices of the local fertility god Moloch; verse 21 sets the stage for this one by forbidding people from allowing their children to be burned in sacrifice to Moloch, verse 23 prohibits intercourse with animals (the idol of Moloch was in the form of a bull with a man’s head and shoulders, so this verse too may refer to idol worship). At the time, in order to get a conviction, Jewish law required four (male) witnesses, so whatever the action condemned in Leviticus was, it was likely a public event (there are no instances recorded in the Talmud of anyone being brought before the Sanhedrin and charged with homosexual activity). Worship of other gods provided a context where sex is very public, and there are 59 other places in the Bible where the worship of other gods is called an abomination (in the KJV). How could these two verses not apply to temple prostitution?"
