It reminds me of an old letter to President Bush:
Dear President Bush,
Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from you and understand why you would propose and support a constitutional amendment banning same sex marriage. As you said," In the eyes of God, marriage is based between a man and a woman." 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 advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God's Law and how to follow them.
1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may poses 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 I cannot own Canadians?
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. Leviticus 15: 19-24 The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking by most women take offense.
4. When I burn a bull on the altar to sacrifice, 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?
5. 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 I ask the police to do it?
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 different levels of abomination?
7. Leviticus 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect of 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 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 garnments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyesther blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble oif getting the whole town together to stone them? Lev24:10-16. Couldnt 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 and thus enjoy considerable expertise in such matters, so I am confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God's word IS ETERNAL AND UNCHANGING.
