I got this from a friend of mine. We don’t know who wrote it originally, but
it raises a lot of important questions. So I thought I’d share it with all
of you.<\/p>\n
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++<\/p>\n
Dear President Bush:<\/p>\n
Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God’s law. I
have learned a great deal from you and 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 state it to be an abomination. End of debate.<\/p>\n
I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements
of God’s Laws and how to follow them:<\/p>\n
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 to Canadians. Can
you clarify? Why can’t I own Canadians?<\/p>\n
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?<\/p>\n
3. 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 offense.<\/p>\n
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?<\/p>\n
5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2
clearly states that he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to
kill him myself, or should I ask the police to do it?<\/p>\n
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?<\/p>\n
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?<\/p>\n
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?<\/p>\n
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?<\/p>\n
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)?<\/p>\n
I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy
considerable expertise in such matters, so I am confident you can help.<\/p>\n
Thank you again for reminding us that God’s word is eternal and
unchanging.<\/p>\n
