Two Questions!
Does the whole town really have to be together to stone my brother, Matt, for planting different crops side by side?
Can I burn my mother in a small family gathering for wearing garments made from two different threads?

You should think before you post this nonsense.
At least look up the passages before you decide to forward them onto this forum. Those passages come from Deutronomy 22, not Leviticus, and there is no death sentence for people who disobey.
But let me ask you, how many farmers do you see plant an orange tree, move a foot, plant a grape vine, move another foot, plant wheat. You get the idea. NOBODY, because it would be STUPID. The law is meant here to enlighten the ignorant. I suggest you read some and not be so critical.

Only if you are Jewish.
If you are a gentile (non-Jew), then you are unkosher, and the community would not let you in anyway, since you are the "different thread" and the "different crop" that the kosher laws were meant to exclude. Symbolism seems to be lost on you.
You have to thank God for the New Testament, since the kosher laws were abolished with the coming of the Messiah!
-----------------------------------------------
[Peter] said to them: "You are well aware that it is against our law for a Jew to associate with a Gentile or visit him. But God has shown me that I should not call any man impure or unclean. So when I was sent for, I came without raising any objection. May I ask why you sent for me?"

Yes and No
Yes if you are Jewish, but no if you are Christian.
Christians say that Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament and therefore any laws from the Old Testament are obselete.
However if you are an American citizen you will be tried by the US Judicial system, put in jail, and possibly receive a death sentence depending on your location within the United States.
And, for the above peoples' responses, there is no need to be rude. Go see a therapist, please before your anger errupts.

to be trustworthy from a Christian point of view neither of those rules ought to word. those rules have been given to the folk of Israel and have come to bypass until you're a descendant of the bloodline and in my opinion experience obligated to obey them. in case you do experience obligated then you definately ought to first (as written interior the bible) obey the govern rules of your land and right here in usa slavery is against the regulation. there are various distinctive gospels interior the bible and that they are very particular on who they're met for and the time-physique they're met for. maximum folk (alongside with Christians) lump a great form of those distinctive gospels into one that's via all ability incorrect. occasion you are able to not take Paul's gospel of circumcision and blended it along with his gospel for the uncircumcised. They have been made for 2 very distinctive cultures one being the Jews the different Gentiles. same is going for the guidelines of Mount Sinai, the 4 gospels approximately Jesus etc.. etc. it particularly is why it particularly is incorrect for church homes to %. and choose which rules interior the OT they choose to persist with and which ones like Lev 18:22 must be obeyed at present.

look up leviticus 14:33 it states that it is a punishment from God that Mildew is present in your house and you have to scarific to cleanse your house, just proving the jews need over 600 laws to protect 10 holy commandments from God to cover every eventuallity that the author could forsee

Don't be dishonest quoting biblical drivel that makes no sense anyway. Leave it to the deluded fools who believe this as the word of their 'loving' God. Strange how they are able to ignore the bits that don't suit modern life and living while insisting that the bits they like are the rules that should be imposed on everyone.
