Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. \nI have learned a great deal from you, and I try to share that knowledge \nwith as many people as I can. \nI do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other specific \nBiblical laws and how to follow them.\n\na) When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a \npleasing odor for the Lord (Lev. 1:9). The problem is my neighbors. \nThey claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?\n\nb) I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in \nExodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price \nfor her?\n\nc) I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her \nperiod of menstrual uncleanness (Lev.15:19-24). The problem is, how do I tell? \nI have tried asking, but most women take offense. If I come into contact with \na woman who is menstruating and she doesn't tell me until afterwards, must I \nkill her immediately or can I just beat her?\n\nd) Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, \nprovided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims\nthat this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? \nWhy can't I own Canadians?\n\ne) I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 \nclearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill \nhim myself? Also, is Sabbath on Saturday as Seventh Day Adventists \n(Christians, like us...or are they?) or is it on Sunday as Baptists and \nsome other faiths agree? I am beset by not knowing who to kill and when \nto kill them...please clarify this for me.\n\nf) A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination\n (Lev. 11:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality (Lev. 18:22). \nI don't agree. I'm also confused about how homosexuality can be an abomination \nwhen Jonathan and David were married in the Bible (1 Samuel 18:1, 3 - 4). \nHere, I'll quote it - "And it came to pass, when he had made an end of \nspeaking unto Saul that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David \nand Jonathan loved him as his own soul. Then Jonathan and David made a \ncovenant, because he loved him as his own soul. And Jonathan stripped himself\nof the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his garments, even \nto his sword and to his bow and to his girdle." and also Ruth's relationship \nwith Naomi is suspect, (Ruth 1:16-17) "And Ruth said to Naomi, Entreat me not \nto leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, \nI will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, \nand thy God my God: Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: \nthe Lord do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part three and me.\n" Can you settle this?\n\ng) Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a \ndefect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my \nvision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?\n\nh) Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around \ntheir temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev.19:27 and even \nthough 1st Cor. 11:4-6 says that it is a shame upon a man to have long hair. \nHow should they die?\n\ni) I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me \nunclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves? Also, since it is \nstrictly forbidden to "eat neither fat nor blood" in Lev. 3:17 & Lev. 19:26, \ndoes that mean that I must be a vegetarian and must I smite those who choose \nto eat meat?\n\nj) My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by planting two different \ncrops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two \ndifferent kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse \nand blaspheme a lot. Is i

More than likely he was just there to bathe in the river anyway.Maybe some would argue about humbling himself before John the Baptist as a gesture of respect for him and what he did.Jesus had said that what you do to the least of these you do to me also.I don't have an issue with it. You're reading way too much into something without knowing the truth. This is a negative application you are applying so you're fishing in a toilet for excuses. Unless you had witnessed everything from that time without prejudice it's difficult to usually grasp it without faith. From the perspective of immortality one death on a cross to start a religion seems to be a safe bet.Mortals usually only understand living sacrifice as an example of faith or honor. A virgin woman represents an undefiled vessel or purity. Would it sound better to you if she was just the babysitter? This isn't a sitcom drama you know.

Isn't it curious that our understanding of good and bad are meant to originate in Adam and Eve's great 'sin'? That the 'sin' they committed was wanting to learn about their surroundings instead of just blindly saying 'my Father told me not to touch it, so ı won't touch it'?\n\nIn normal life, we call that growing up. We call it learning for yourself. And it's humanity's greatest single trait.\n\nIf it was the devil, in the form of a snake, that convinced Adam and Eve to open their eyes and question their surroundings, and if it was God who arbitrarily said 'look but don't touch', here is my question:\n\nWhich one of them should we give praise to?

If you read it again you will find God did not Satan was the one causeng the problems for Job When God took his hand off of Job...God did allow this by taking his by taking some of his protection off...Now if you are asking why God allowed it that is another question I would say that there was some good that came out of it...It is an example to us all that we are talking about it today...many of Jobs friends told Job that he had done something wrong and that he should beg God's forgiveness....His wife told him he should curse God and die...but Job was an example to all of them and to us today he suffered but did not blame God....Many times I see people here in yahoo blameing God for the things that are wrong in the world...Job is the example for them and us and all of Job's friends and his wife...Job never blamed God nor did he doubt his realtionship with God.....Naked came I in to this world and Naked shall I leave it...All of those who love God should learn this that God blesses us everyday and not to take God for granted he owes us nothing but he gives us all that he has...It was not just to prove a point to Satan but to show to all of us how we should be.

Someone who asked a question about a book she read by Sylvia Browne and psychic phenomena wrote me to thank me because I told her about deceiving spirits who seek to lead people away from God and into the occult.\n\nIn her question she was convinced that by reading this book that she had "opened her mind" to a new world of psychic insights but after she read my answer she wrote me and thanked me and told me that I was right and that her sister who was a Christian had been trying to tell her the same thing.\n\nA couple of other people have also written me to thank me for setting them straight about something, but I give all of the glory and honor to God! I regularly ask that the Holy Spirit will guide me to posts and speak through me and accompany the words He gives me to accomplish every purpose that He would set for them in Jesus' name.\n\nIsaiah 55:10  For as the rain comes down, and the snow from the heavens, and does not return there, but waters the earth, and makes it bring out and bud, and give seed to the sower and bread to the eater;   11   so shall My Word be, which goes out of My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall certainly do what I sent it to do.

Well it spoke to me today. I was standing in the hall way and my mom was doing laundry and a voice litarly a voice said to go help her. Thats what I did, I offered to help her! Funny thing is, that very day I had asked God to guide me to His kingdom.

I'm really confuse. I give my Gods gifts all the time. What are you asking?
397809
Yes I have.  I can tell you exactly the first time and where I was at.  I was going through a messy divorce and I was in the shower singing praises to the Lord and all of the sudden it was as though angels had taken over the singing what a beautiful sound it was.  Tongues is Gods way of communicating with us when we don't know how and we are losr for words.  Why are you asking such a question?

I am not a great believer in the God theory, so I'm not surprised that he/she hasn't been back since the old biblical days.\nIf there is a God, perhaps he doesn't like what he sees, and has washed his hands of the whole mess.

Yes, and it's to become enlightened.  Along the way I found that I  can made the rules. Trust God, Clean House, Help Others.   ;>)

Hey Jim, finally a good theological question from you, I knew you had it in you! Your starting to come over to the other side, I can just feel it. In all seriousness, there is no record the children of Israel coming out of Egypt washed their clothes, used deodorant, or brushed their teeth! After forty years, this would be a pretty ripe bunch, maybe that's why the walls of Jericho fell flat!,. what do you think?

OH MY!! That is so crazy, I have been asking people this for YEARS, and it is funny the only part I remembered was them eating then her putting her hand in the mirror. WOW I am shocked someone out there is wondering something I am, does not happen much.  Well I will be looking forward to this answer

You can't. \n\nThat is why they were all the time washing their guests feet in the Bible. They wore sandals and when they got to where they were going, their feet were dirty and they felt better (and the house stayed cleaner) if they washed upon arrival.

The lord God helped Noah gather the animals of the world he did not do it alone.He wouldn't have had enough time.Do you believe in miracles?It was God's gift to the people not to destroy the world but to cleanse it.Why do you think we have rainbows after a storm.He asked us to forgive him.

this is where people tell you that god works in mysterious ways. I wouldn't say that because it would piss me off if i were in your place. I'm sorry about your son. I don't know what to tell you about god, but I hope your son gets better.
