| A
LETTER TO DR. LAURA
Dear Dr. Laura,
Thank
you for doing so much to educate people regarding
God's law. I have
learned a great deal from you, and 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 him
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
specific laws and how to best
follow them.
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. How
should I deal with this?
I would like to sell
my daughter into slavery, as it suggests
in Exodus 21:7.
In this day and age, what do you think
would be a fair price
for her?
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
offense.
Lev. 25:44 states that
I may buy slaves from the nations
that are around us.
A friend of mine claims that this
applies to Mexicans but not
Canadians. Can you clarify?
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?
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?
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?
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.
Sincerely,
Farrell Till
