By that logic, non American citizens shouldn't read our Constitution and Gentiles shouldn't eat bagels.
See how fucking stupid that sounds? Just like your logic.
we're not talking about "reading" it, we're talking about understanding it and using it rightly. the inanity of your bagel comparison aside (see your second sentence above), no, it simply means they have the extra challenge of when they do read it, they interpret it correctly in context.
a great point in case as concerns your ridiculous (more on that in a moment) answer to tamaka: there WAS NO BIBLE when john wrote revelation, which renders your interpretation impossible. what she wrote is the most commonly accepted understanding of that verse.
however, while there is indeed some variety in that verse's interpretation, ive never seen the interpretation you just put forth. good luck finding some bible scholars who agree with you but even if you do, they will be wrong also. that'll work out just as well as your sharia and Leviticus are kissing cousins position.
Deuteronomy 4:22 says "I will die in this land; I will not cross the Jordan; but you are about to cross over and take possession of that good land."
there is nothing in that that touches on this subject.
giving you some benefit of the doubt however, verse 23 says "be careful not to forget the covenant of the lord your god that he made with you; do not make yourselves an idol in the form of anything the lord your god had forbidden."
broadly speaking, this refers to the ten commandments and what follows in the rest of exodus and Leviticus. given there was at the time, noahic and Abrahamic covenants also, this is not the "whole kit n' caboodle" either. but for conversation sake, assume that it is; so what? you want to make the argument that Christians today are bound to old testament law? see my first sentence above.
