2. Really? Because the Bible tells them so!

What else does the Bible say:

Leviticus 21:5
They shall not make bald patches on their heads, nor shave off the edges of their beards, nor make any cuts on their body.

Leviticus 19:28
Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print or tattoo any marks upon you: I am the Lord.

Matthew 5:27-28
Do not commit adultery. But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

I could go on, but you get the gist...most of those who use the Bible as an excuse are "buffet" Christians, choosing what they want and not being too concerned about the rest!

There's another word to describe them...Hypocrites!!!

Matthew 15 -9
You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, when he said: “‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me; in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’”
