Dr. Laura and God's Law -

Dr. Laura Schlessinger is a US radio personality who
dispenses advice to people who call in to her radio
show. On 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.
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 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
uncleanliness - Lev.15:19-24. The problem is how do
I tell?&nbs! p; 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. The passage 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? 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)
I know you have studied these things extensively and
thus enjoy considerable expertise in such matters,
so I am confident you can help.
Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is
eternal and unchanging.
An adoring fan
