IMPORTANT LETTER: Dear 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 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 Laws and how to follow them.

 

1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may 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?

 

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 uncleanness - Lev.15: 19-

24. The problem is

how do tell? I have tried asking, but most women

take offense.

 

4. 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?

 

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 'degrees'

of abomination?

 

7. 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?

 

8. 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?

 

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

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

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.
