 Some interesting points raised here.


 a) When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I
 know it creates a pleasing odour for the Lord (Lev.
 1:9). The problem is my neighbours. They claim the
 odour is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?

 b) 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?

 c) 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.

 d) Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves,
 both male and female, provided they are purchased from
 neighbouring nations. A friend of mine claims that
 this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you
 clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?

 e) I have a neighbour 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?

 f) 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?

 g) 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 flexibility here?

 h) 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?

 i) 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?

 j) 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).
