Thank you for doing so much
to educate people regarding God's Law. I
have learned a great deal from your radio show, and I try to
share that
knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to
defend the
homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that
Leviticus
18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate.
I do need some
advise from you, however, regarding some of the specific Bible
laws and how
to follow them.
a)When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates
a
pleasing odor for the Lord (Lev. 1:9). The problem is my neighbors.
They
claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
b)I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned
in Exodus
21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair
price for her?
She's 18 and starting University. Will the slave buyer
continue to pay for
her education by law ?
c)I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is
in her
period of menstrual uncleanliness (Lev. 15:19-24). The problem
is, how do I
tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.
d)Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male
and female,
provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend
of mine
claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can
you clarify?
......Why can't I own Canadians?
e)I have a neighbor who insists on working on the
Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I
morally
obligated to kill him myself, or should this be a neighborhood
improvement
project ?
f)A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is
an
abomination (Lev. 11:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality.
I
don't agree. Can you settle this?
g)Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if
I have a
defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses.
Does my
vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?
Would contact
lenses help ?
h)Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair
around
their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev.19:27.
How
should they die?
i)I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig
makes me
unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?
j)My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by planting two
different
crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments
made of two
different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends
to curse
and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all
the trouble
of getting the whole town together to stone them? (Lev.24:10-16)
Couldn't
we just burn them to death at a private family affair like we
do with
people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)
I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confidentyou
can
help. Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and
unchanging.
Your devoted disciple and adoring fan.
