Dr. Laura Schlessinger is a US radio personality who dispenses advice to
people who call in to her radio show. Recently she said that
homosexuality is an abomination according to Lev*****us 18:22,
and cannot be condoned under any circumstances. The
following is an open letter to Dr. Laura penned by a US resident, which
was posted on the Internet. It's funny, as well as informative.
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 Le*****us 18:22 clearly
states it to be an abomination. End of debate.
I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the other
specific laws and how to follow them.
1. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a
pleasing odor for the Lord -- Le*. 1:9. The problem is my neighbors. They
claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exo***
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 -- Le*. 15:19-24. The problem is, how do
I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offence.
4. Le*. 25:44 states that I may indeed 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?
5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exo*** 35:2
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 -- Le*. 11:10-- it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality.
I don't agree. Can you settle this?
7. Le*. 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 Le*.
19:27. How should they die?
9. I know from Le*. 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 Le*. 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? -- Le*.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? (Le*. 20:14)
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.
Your devoted disciple and adoring fan.

An interesting e-mail, Aron. I think I'll go through it point for
point. Please let me know if I miss anything!
"The Bible contains six admonishments to homosexuals and 362
admonishments to heterosexuals.
That doesn't mean that God doesn't love heterosexuals. It's just that
they need more supervision."
Well, the Bible does admonish homosexuals and heterosexuals...all of
humanity in fact. This statement however uses a rhetorical device of
misdirection to provide facts and then draw a false conclusion based
upon the facts. The idea is to stir an emotional response rather than
an intellectual response. Yes, I agree with the statement in general,
but the Bible contains admonishments for "being" homosexual, not for
"being" heterosexual. All 368 admonishments apply to everyone, all of
humanity. God and Christians do not hate sinners, we hate the sin,
because sin destroys life.
Dr. Laura Schlesinger is a US radio personality who dispenses advice
to people who call in to 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. The
following is an open letter to Dr. Laura penned by a US resident,
which was posted on the Internet. It's funny, as well as
informative.........
Hmmm. I suppose if you think persecuting a person for their
religious/cultural beliefs is funny, then this is hilarious. I would
not find a person running down homosexuals amusing in the least. This
will be a sticking point as long as people redefine disagreement with
the practice of homosexuality as "homophobia". I am not unnaturally
afraid of homosexuals, I love them, but I hate the sin that is
destroying their souls.
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.
Just to remind everyone, Leviticus 18:22 says, "Do not lie with a man
as one lies with a woman; that is detestable." Apparently you disagree
with this text, which means you think the rest of Leviticus is false as
well. For example, Leviticus 18:7-9 states:
"Do not dishonor your father by having sexual relations with your
mother. She is your mother; do not have relations with her. Do not have
sexual relations with your father's wife; that would dishonor your
father. Do not have sexual relations with your sister, either your
father's daughter or your mother's daughter, whether she was born in
the same home or elsewhere."
Since it is okay to lie with a man as one lies with a woman, is this
okay? How about Leviticus 18:23:
"Do not have sexual relations with an animal and defile yourself with
it. A woman must not present herself to an animal to have sexual
relations with it; that is a perversion."
Is it okay to have sex with a donkey, or a fish? Just curious.
I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the other
specific laws and how to follow them.
1. 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?
Actually, when Jesus sacrificed himself on the cross, he made it
unnecessary for us to continue animal sacrifices any longer. However,
if you prefer a more "politically correct" answer, then no. No,
because smiting those who dis-like your form of worship is a hate crime
and carries a stiffer penalty than normal smiting.
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?
Exodus 21:7 is not a sanction of slavery, it is rules for governing
your body of servants and how to integrate them into your family.
Servanthood was a common practice and it persists today. Plumbers,
electricians, beauticians and physicians all, essentially, indenture
themselves to a "master" and work for very low wages until such a time
as they can strike out on their own into the world. We don't refer to
the practice as slavery or servitude anymore because it is not
politically correct.
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? I have tried asking, but most women take offence.
If you remain a virgin until your wedding, then have sex only with your
wife, you will know for certain when she is menstruating. I hope you
comfort her during this time of pain rather than bothering her for your
own gratification. The P.C. response would be to stop bothering people
before you get slapped with a sexual harassment lawsuit.
4. Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed 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?
See 2 above. Since you like Leviticus 25, then I have a bargain for
you. As soon as you raise a poor person up you your standard of
living, as suggested in
Lev. 25:35-37, using your own money and expecting nothing in return,
ever. Then you can start purchasing Canadians.
5. 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?
No, leave her alone, John 8:7 says "If any one of you is without sin,
let him be the first to throw a stone at her." Furthermore, Jesus says
in Luke 13:14-15
Indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, the synagogue ruler
said to the people, "There are six days for work. So come and be healed
on those days, not on the Sabbath." The Lord answered him, "You
hypocrites! Doesn't each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or donkey
from the stall and lead it out to give it water?"
Besides, your moral obligation may land you in federal prison.
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?
All sins are equal in the eyes of the Lord. Regardless, the question
of detestable food was abolished when Jesus created a new covenant with
mankind. The "ceremonial laws" were swept aside. The moral laws, like
not performing homosexual acts, are still in effect.
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?
Yes, Jesus spent a lot of time healing the blind, disfigured, demon
possessed, etc. As stated before in 6, Jesus sacrificed Himself to
create a new covenant with mankind. The "ceremonial laws" were swept
aside. The moral laws, like not performing homosexual acts, are still
in effect.
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?
As stated before in 6 and 7, Jesus sacrificed Himself to create a new
covenant with mankind. The "ceremonial laws" were swept aside. The
moral laws, like not performing homosexual acts, are still in effect.
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?
See 6, 7 and 8 above.
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)
See 9 above, also see John 8:7 which says "If any one of you is without
sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her."
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. Your adoring fan, James M. Kauffman, Ed.D.
