Answer 1

Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law.
I have learned a great deal from you, and I try to share that knowledge
with as many people as I can.
I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other specific
Biblical 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?

c) I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her
period of menstrual uncleanness (Lev.15:19-24). The problem is, how do I tell?
I have tried asking, but most women take offense. If I come into contact with
a woman who is menstruating and she doesn't tell me until afterwards, must I
kill her immediately or can I just beat her?

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? Also, is Sabbath on Saturday as Seventh Day Adventists
(Christians, like us...or are they?) or is it on Sunday as Baptists and
some other faiths agree? I am beset by not knowing who to kill and when
to kill them...please clarify this for me.

f) A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination
(Lev. 11:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality (Lev. 18:22).
I don't agree. I'm also confused about how homosexuality can be an abomination
when Jonathan and David were married in the Bible (1 Samuel 18:1, 3 - 4).
Here, I'll quote it - "And it came to pass, when he had made an end of
speaking unto Saul that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David
and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. Then Jonathan and David made a
covenant, because he loved him as his own soul. And Jonathan stripped himself
of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his garments, even
to his sword and to his bow and to his girdle." and also Ruth's relationship
with Naomi is suspect, (Ruth 1:16-17) "And Ruth said to Naomi, Entreat me not
to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest,
I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people,
and thy God my God: Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried:
the Lord do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part three and me.
" 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?

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 and even
though 1st Cor. 11:4-6 says that it is a shame upon a man to have long hair.
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? Also, since it is
strictly forbidden to "eat neither fat nor blood" in Lev. 3:17 & Lev. 19:26,
does that mean that I must be a vegetarian and must I smite those who choose
to eat meat?

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)?

k) I know that it is an abomination for a man to wear a woman's clothes or a
woman to wear a man's (Deut. 22:5), so does that mean that since my wife
borrowed my boxers once, she's going to hell?

l) An unbeliever sent me an email telling me that God is an ABORTIONIST? It
says, "In Num. 5:11-31, God commands a husband to get an abortion for his wife
if he suspects she has been impregnated by another man. A priest is to make her
drink a potion and tell her, "If any man other than your husband has had
intercourse with you, may the LORD make an example of you . . . by bringing
upon you miscarriage and untimely birth." To deliberately cause a miscarriage
is to perform an abortion. And who brings about this miscarriage? Who performs
this abortion? It is the LORD who does so. God is an abortionist. In Ex. 21:22-25,
God tells us what to do if a man who is fighting knocks against a pregnant woman.
If the woman dies, the principle of "life for life" is invoked and the man
responsible for her death must be killed. If she lives but has a miscarriage,
then the death of the fetus is to be compensated for by the payment of a fine,
as demanded by the woman's husband. Thus, God has revealed the status of the
unborn fetus: it is not an independent, full-fledged human life, whose
destruction amounts to murder. It is a thing owned by the woman's husband, a
thing whose loss, like that of any other thing, may be compensated for with
money." How can this be true?

I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you can
help. Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and
unchanging and also for the reassurance that the Bible is infallible.

Answer 2

In the first place it doesn't say gay marriage is an abomination, marriage isn't mentioned. It's a man lying with a man. Second two verses later it says eating shell fish is an abomination. Had any lobster or crab lately? Last but not least these things are from the old testament and never mentioned by Jesus. Perhaps you should try reading it for yourself rather than parroting what some one else has said.

Answer 3

While I understand what you are saying, I have to disagree with you {pulling out soap box}

OK here's the deal, and to be honest, it's one of the problems I have with organized religion, if you believe the followings of Jesus Christ, and the stories of the bible, you know that Jesus was accepting of all. The condemnation of any people is completely against what he preached. People, gay or straight, do not wake up one morning and decide to be one or the other. It is just what they are. They should be allowed to express love and commitment the same as any other creature on this planet.

Religion should accept and heal - not condemn.

When you look at the world's history and the evolution of communicative skills in humanity, when theevents in the bible occurred, there was no writen language for the masses. Many of the stories were not writen originally, they were told person by person, and as typpical of story tellers, they were embellished. It's human nature. For instance, the parting of the red sea could simply have been low tide near a sand bar.

I am NOT writing the words of the bible off as folk lore, but you have to look at many factors. The different religous groups were fighting for control of the people. that affected what was written.

I try to live my life being accepting, loving others,and being fair. I believe that is what truly matters in the eyes of whatever God you worship.

Hope this helps.

Answer 4

O.K. the devil's job is to steal, kill, and destroy God's perfect plan. One of God's perfect plan is for a man to be with a woman.

Some people say that they are born gay. Thats not true. We are born innocent. The devil loves little children. He plants thoughts of destruction. That's why when you ask them when did you first felt that you were gay they will say every since I can remember. The devil uses kids because they are unable to distinguish right form wrong at that time. So, people grow up with this feeling and since they don't know about God and deliverance; then they consider that, that's the way they are. Since the thoughts have been with them for that long time. Since our adults aren't taking the time to teach and rebuke those spirits. I say this. It's wrong. And God said we ought to hate the sin but not the sinner. And I don't accept or participate in anything encouraging the gay or lesbian action. And thats the way it is.

Answer 5

Where, exactly, does the bible mention the phrase "gay marriage"?

I do think it's interesting that you think this book is a "weapon." It's certainly been used that way.

Answer 6

I think your question is old and tired. We get this on here no less than 3-4 times a day!!! Pick a new topic and leave us alone.

Answer 7

i am sorry but i believe it is. 'gay' is a socio-political aspect, a cultural-anthropological-historical given, while marriage is a spiritual, divine act so i can see that the two aspects do not suit each other. they are against each other.

Answer 8

There will never be legal gay marriage nation wide... It will get fought everytime... and I will be right there fighting against it

Answer 9

Stop using the bible as a crutch and admit you are just an ignorant judgmental human being.

Answer 10

Maybe marriage was once upon a time divine, spiritual thing, but not anymore. Nobody gets mad when atheists get married.

Answer 11

I don't give a ******.

I am more concerned with crushing tax burdens.

And I'm a right winger. Let the gays do what they want. I don't freakin' care.
