1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from a neighboring nation. 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 on 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.
4. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev.19. 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.19:29. 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 in the bible extensively, and thus enjoy considerable expertise in such matters. Why else would you tell other people that they need to read it? So I'm confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging. -
I see, well you must understand that it cleary says not to test your Lord, tell me something when you read Rxodus and Leviticus did you not find thaat it was meant fro the Israelites as they were coming out of Egypt, God doesn't change but the world does, we are not allowed to own slave and kill people. The Sabbath Day is undefined is does not say which day but it says set apart a day where you can worship and praise God, and most people chose Sunday. I'd advise you to read the New Testament first, we do not need sacrifices since Jesus was the lamb, sacrifices were meant for the forgivness of sins, but Jesus came and died for us so they are uneccesary

FLgirl92 NewbieI'll make this really simple. If it isn't from the Ten Commandments or any of the Gospels, disregard it and do what you think is right. Alot of Christians think humans are naturally evil. I however think humans are basically good. We know better morally than we think we do sometimes.
And yes, I picked up on the fact that this was basically a criticism of the Bible. -
LOL You had me at the Canadians.
-
The Geek Noviceyour taking this to seriously
-
LMAO!
-
Lol Ting! I nailed it! Two people thought this was serious, and two people got the joke!
-
indeed, bobbery xD

Full Metal NewbieLOLZ

What branch of Christianity are you going into? I know for SURE it isn't Catholicism...
-
That's cute Purple. It actually is the Catholic bible. It's all the sections that they ignore when they claim it's a good book.
-
This a such pathetic joke. Obviously because you're a such a Bible scholar you would've noticed that there has been a new covenant, therefore disregarding your problems. Why don't you make sure you have enough background before arguing a point that has no relevance.

I think I have your answers profit.
1. Canadians were a country forgotten by the British and the French. As a b------ nation, they are subject to lower classes in society, but without actually earning their rights, they aren't fully a country yet.
2. Your daughter would probably sell for a substantial sum. Guesstimating on age, weight, and figure, I'd say you could rack in anywhere from $37,000 to well over $50,000.
3. Women who spend a lot of time together actually have their cycles start to align. If you're interested in a girl, get to know her friends. You don't have to have contact with them, but eventually you will find out what time to look out for.
4. Smiting is out of the question. Too many questions later down the road. But if your altar is anything like mine, you could probably make it look like a bricked in bbq pit. Have a regular cook out. No questions, and no complaints.
5. If you feel that you are incapable of smiting them yourself. Take it up with your local church group. Tell them the terrible news. Ask your preacher for guidance on the matter.
6. There are actually 5 degrees of abomination. Homosexuality isn't on there anywhere at all. But a nice reference for this scale is like so from least to greatest...
-Shellfish
-Satanists
-Atheists
-Politicians
-Bees
7. This is a personal question for you to take up with God. If nothing else, I suggest either surgery, or wearing contacts.
8. The norm for this crime where I live is a slow and painful death by time. Let the cruel fate of age kill them. They will know their wrong doings.
9. Invest in pleather.
10. Please take this up with your local police. They will consult Jesus themselves and tell you how your family should die.
Don't worry son. You're well on your way to being accepted into the kingdom of heaven. -
Lol politicians.

Okay Brit, by your logic then, the entire Old Testament is worthless. So answer me this: why is it included in the Bible? A "New Covenent" would surely that the old one no longer applies, right?
