Question

Are things holy cause god says they are or dose god say something is holy because it was already so?

Answer 1

Thanks for doing much to educate people regarding God's Law.

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
specific laws & how to follow them:

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?

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?

I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is menstrually
unclean - Lev.15:19- 24. The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking,
but most women take offense.

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?

I have a coworker 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?

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?

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 wiggle room here?

Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair
around their
temples, though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should
they die?

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?

My Bro 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 confident you can
help. Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and
unchanging.

Answer 2

God created everything good, therefore he created everything holy. Holy means "set apart", mainly from the worlds sinfull influence. The world stains that which God made holy in the first place. The crazy thing is that God gave us a choice to separate from him if we wanted to, thereby making it possible for us to bring sin into the world. He made it possible for sin to become actual, but left the choice of whether or not it would to us.

Answer 3

If you think about it, God doesn't say anything. The people that wrote all the books wrote about what they dreamed he said. You can now form your own thoughts about, perhaps , what holy even really means. Who made this word up, and why?!?

Answer 4

God says things are holy cuz they were already so.

Answer 5

I'll tell you something if enough people consider something holy then it is.

God's will is so much greater than that of humanity's, so I guess if he wills something to be holy then it is...even if it wasn't before.

I don't think we can test my theory but if you think of a way get back to me.

Answer 6

depends on if you ask the priests and pope , the real answer i would assume is it already is holy , then again another question is how is it already holy

Answer 7

A question's beginning is known by its end.

Answer 8

Well when we last spoke.... no, its all constructs of men.
