You convince yourself of whatever you need to to get through your day, big guy.

Isn't that why it was hypothetical?

All of this seemed like an intelligent, healthy political debate until I took a dose of Theraflu Nighttime. Now, everyone sounds like a bunch of rambling idiots who are too self-righteous for their own good. I don't dare figure out which is more fitting and I'll probably be asleep before I get there anyway, but I just wanted to share and allow pause for reflection, if anyone pleases. If not, then please continue with the entertainment, I'm sure I'll pose some coherent questions tomorrow.

Thanks, I wasn't familiar with that. I was reading through multiple threads and responded when something caught my interest. I'll have to figure out that function.

Here's a sampling...there's more. An oldie but a goodie:

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 this applies to Mexicans, but not to 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)

Ah, well, for the record, he's probably the worst "discusser" on here.

Leviticus is jewish tradition. You first quoted it as Bible Truth, so you have to have interest in it.

Or didn't you know that Leviticus is jewish tradition. Probably not.
