The laws in the Old Testament were set forth by God as the rules the Hebrews needed to follow in order to be righteous, to atone for the sin of Adam and Eve and to be able to get into Heaven. That is also why they were required to make sacrifices, because it was part of the appeasement for Original Sin.
According to Christian theology, when Jesus came from Heaven, it was for the express purpose of sacrificing himself on the cross so that our sins may be forgiven. His sacrifice was supposed to be the ultimate act that would free us from the former laws and regulations and allow us to enter Heaven by acting in his image. That is why he said “it is finished” when he died on the cross. That is why Christians don’t have to circumcise their sons (God’s covenant with Jacob), that is why they don’t have to perform animal sacrifice, or grow out their forelocks, or follow any of the other laws of Leviticus.
When you quote Leviticus as God’s law and say they are rules we must follow because they are what God or Jesus wants us to do, what you are really saying, as a Christian, is that Christ’s sacrifice on the cross was invalid. He died in vain because you believe we are still beholden to the old laws. That is what you, a self-professed good Christian, are saying to your God and his son, that their plan for your salvation wasn’t good enough for you.
So maybe actually read the thing before you start quoting it, because the implications of your actions go a lot deeper than you think.

Best town ever!
saw this movie tonight, it was really good. i liked that i was surprised by how much deeper it was than the trailer implies. at first i really liked the character development. he lets the power consume him, but he’s not insane. the world just gave him poor circumstances and a few loose screws.

if you let it
i avidly follow 2 roommates on youtube. they vlog. brittany and joey moved from small town Massachusetts to LA when they received and opportunity to start working towards living their dreams. i’ve always loved joey. one day i mentally caught myself in a scenario telling someone that he was my friend. i feel so much like him, like his taste in things and his personality. i strive to be like him. they’ve been in LA for a year now and on both of their channels i’m always seeing “how come you never hangout with brittany/ joey anymore?” you know, i’m curious too. they’ve never addressed it. they share an apartment, but you don’t see them together often. they haven’t blownout cause they still hangout.
i’ve actually never thought about it this way, but i’m just a fan. i only see what they show the world, i don’t know what’s going on in their heads, but i think they’re scared. they can’t help it but they’re growing in different directions. its what happens when you’re put in a new environment, you find new people to surround yourself with. joey is doing well. in my head i imagine myself living in LA with his circle of friends. not because ‘zomg its LA!’ but because they make me happy. yup, i see them behind the camera for maybe 10min a day and it makes me happy. i feel like that would be my niche, right there. perfect. brittany on the other hand seems to be left in the dust. not adapting as effortlessly as joey. you can see it. i went of each of their fb pages tonight. brittany 4k likes - joey 40k likes. boom. like grade 9. i stay with travis and steve, and erik blows up with his 40k likes. this is where i feel i can relate to brittany. i guess i have a thing for underdogs, but it almost hurts to see it happen. they’ve gotta see it happening, i saw it happen to me. seems like i’d always die trying to keep up the one sided effort, but with weight only on one side it falls over. but watching them from out here i feel so powerless. i bet you in 5 years, they’ll be just like me and steve. i love joey, but sometimes i get jealous, i wish i could adapt like him, like every person out there. brittany and i, we’re in the dust.
