Hello dear Landovers! I've been reading your posts for the last couple of months but now I've decided to get one step beyond and register to this godly forum.
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. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God's laws and how to follow them.
1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may 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?
2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as santioned in Exodus 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_Lev.15:19-24 The problem is how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.
4. 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?
5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2. The passage 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-Lev.11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this? Are there degrees of abomination?
7. Leviticus 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 Lev. 19:27. How should they die?
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?
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 the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them?- 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)
I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy considerable expertise in such matters, so I am confident you can help. thank you again for reminding us that God's Word is eternal and unchanging."
Thank you very much,

Dear David. Well done for seeking truth. Many unsaved choose to be spoon fed what passes for truth these days, without taking the necessary steps to find out the 'real' truth for themselves. Congratulations!
There are many among us who will have different 'opinions' in regards to your questions, but all truths begin and finish with the Bible! So when in doubt, stick to the word of the Lord, as you appear to be doing, and you can't go wrong!
Lets see if I can assist you in your queries.
1:Your 'friend' says? The only friend you need is Jesus, not some piece of trash that defies Gods law. Of course you can own Canadians. Secularists claim that slavery is illegal, but providing some sort of token payment, such as bread, chitlins, molasses, food and lodging and corporal punishment or 'education' means they aren't slaves, but employees.
2: If your daughter is not a virgin, probably noone will want to buy her. Has she begun to menstruate yet? It might be worth performing a gynaecological examination to ascertain her purity, just so you know for sure. If you want to sell her off to a neighbouring nation, of course exchange rates will come into play, but based on the performance of the US dollar, I wouldn't part with her for less than $30,000. minimum. To get an idea on bride prices, why not visit http://marryourdaughter.com/. This should provide you with an accurate guide to your childs worth.
3:Generally the smell is a giveaway for menstruation. Many True Christians instruct their wives to remain in the Menstrual Shed for the 5 days or so, so this question never needs to be answered. I'm assuming you arent considering fornication? Sex is only permissable between married couples, and not for out of wedlock shenanigans.
4: If your neighbours were Christians it would not be a problem for them. Encourage them to leave, or move to a Christian neighbourhood.
5:Secularists forbid us from killing sinners ourselves. Its best to leave this matter in Gods hands and hope that your sabbath abusing neighbour comes to a horrible painful end at the hands of our merciful God for his disrespect of the Lords day.
6: Eating Shellfish = abomination. Homosexual sodomy = abomination. Why are you confused? Buy a dictionary.
7: You will only have to approach the altar of God after you are dead. No glasses required in the afterlife. Ok?
8: Your friends who cut their hair should die by the hand of God. Once secularhood in this nation is overthrown, and religious law applies once more. then you can stone them , and not before. Noone is to begin any stoning until God blows his whistle. Am I absolutely clear?
9: You shouldnt be wasting your time playing sports when you should be attending prayer meetings. If you choose to play football and spit in baby Jesus' face then worrying about touching a dead pig skin shouldnt worry you as much as what Jesus will do to you after you die for forsaking your Christian responsibilities.
10: Don't stone him to death on the sabbath
Theores upon theories based on other theories! They find a theory and after a short period of time they come and tell us "Oops sorry! The last theory has been outdated! Here's the improved new version.". And this happens all the time.
