He shall remain unclean as long as he has the disease; he is unclean. He shall live alone; his dwelling shall be outside the camp.
Leviticus 13:46
Pastor McShooty here somehow thinks that responsible disease management and reducing contagion isn’t Biblical?
If so, why doesn’t this part of Leviticus say “just have faith about it”? Like it’s a pretty long section talking about physical inspections to try to determine between contagious and non-contiguous diseases and to separate from contagious people.
Seems unnecessary for the Pastor here though, as he just has faith.
I wonder if he’s consistent such that he’s similarly dismissive of other parts of Leviticus, such as chapter 18…

This dude doesn’t read the Bible for context he reads the Bible for the parts that give him power.
Sadly, that probably applies to the supermajority of Christians in America.
It also applies to every religion ever
Edit- in the idea that all religious books were written by men, in order to exert power in some way over another man
Growing up as an evangelical, I was basically taught to ignore the old testament, because Jesus dying changed all the rules.
Except for anything about homosexuals and women. Those parts still apply somehow.
