FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Dr. Laura Schlessinger is a US radio personality who dispenses advice to




people who call in to her radio show. Recently, she said that, as an

observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to

Leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstance.

 

The following is an open letter to Dr. Laura penned by a US resident,

which was posted on the Internet. Very funny - and thought-provoking.

 

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 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 of the other

specific laws and how to follow them.

 

1. 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?

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 cleanliness - Lev.15:19-24. The problem is, how do I

tell? I have tried asking, but most women take

offence.

4. 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?

5. 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?

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?

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, 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,

 

Jack
