>Dear Dr. Laura,
>Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have
>learned a great deal from your show, and 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 him that Leviticus 18:22 clearly
>states it to
>be an abomination. End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however,
>regarding some of the specific laws and how to follow them.
>
> a) When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a
>pleasing odour for the Lord (Lev. 1:9). The problem is my neighbours. They
>claim the odour 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 uncleanliness (Lev. 15:19-24). The problem is, how do
>I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offence.
>
> d) Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and
>female, provided they are purchased from neighbouring 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 neighbour 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?
>
> f) 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?
>
> 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. 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?
>
> 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)
>
>
>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. Your devoted disciple and adoring fan.
