IJMC - Dear Dr. Laura

Ok, so I did a dangerous thing inbetween posts. I thought a bit. I 
realized, I should not say what would offend you. After all, neither of 
the two texts I use tonight offended me, so what right do I have to 
assume they might offend you. I realized that the International Junk Mail 
Clearinghouse really has no "target audience". You subscribe, I send 
stuff I find amusing or worth tossing out for some reason. If you do not 
like what you read, you unsubscribe. I cannot expect everyone to like 
everything I send...after all, I do not like everything I receive. Fair 
enough...so I apologize for assuming you would be offended...       -dave


ASK DR. LAURA

Dear Dr. Laura, Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding
God's law. 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 also 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. 

Now 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?  Then, 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? 

A friend of mine also feels that even though eating shellfish is an
abomination (Lev. 10:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I
don't agree. Can you settle this? And Lev. 20:20 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.
