The Bible is a holy book that guides millions of people worldwide in their daily lives. However, did you know that there are some ridiculous things that are forbidden by the Bible, which you probably do every day? From wearing mixed fabrics to eating certain foods, the Bible’s rules can seem arbitrary and outdated to modern readers.
Let’s explore some of these “forbidden” activities and see if you’re all sinful. Buckle up, and get ready to uncover some surprising revelations about the Bible’s strange prohibitions.
1.Wearing clothing made of mixed fabrics. According to Leviticus 19:19, people were forbidden to wear clothing made of two different materials, which in today’s world would be pretty much impossible if you want to have a fashion sense.
2.Eating pork or shellfish. Leviticus (11:7-12) strikes again, listing various animals that were considered unclean and therefore prohibited from being eaten, including pigs and shellfish.
3.Shaving beards. Can you take a wild guess who said no to men shaving the edges of their beards? Leviticus 19:27. Just so you know, you’ll see his name pop up a lot here.
4.Tattoos or body piercings. Who would have thought that the same guy who was against trimming beards would also dislike tattoos and piercings, among many other things? It’s crazy how much clout Leviticus (19:28) had back in the day that people actually listened to him.
5.Charging interest on loans. The Bible forbids charging interest on loans to fellow Israelites, as noted in Deuteronomy 23:19-20. For everybody else, however, it’s all good.
