[Amy6627]

When someone tries to defend the
>homosexual lifestyle, for example, Leviticus 18:22
clearly states it to be an
>abomination. End of debate.
>
>However, there are some interesting questions to be raised
regarding some other elements of God's Law and how to follow
>them.
>
>1. 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?
>
>2. 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?
>
>3. 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.
>
>4. 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?
>
>5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the
>Sabbath. Exodus 35:2. The passage clearly states he
>should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill
>him myself?
>
>6. 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? Are there 'degrees' of
>abomination?
>
>7. 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?
>
>8. 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?
>
>9. 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?
>
>10. 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)
