Body: 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 I 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)
