Why Can’t I Own A Canadian?
In response to a Dr. Laura Schlessinger broadcast in 2002 where she stated that homosexuality is ‘an abomination’ according to Leviticus 18:22, Jim pens an open letter on the internet:
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. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the other specific laws and how to 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. Should I smite them?
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?
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.
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?
“As the galaxies brush one another, gravity wrenches at their shapes.The stars, dust and gas on the edges of the galaxy are drawn tremendous distances into space by the gravity of the passing galaxy. These huge streams of galactic material, called “tidal tails,” give birth to stars as the clouds of gas collapse under the pressure of the encounter.”
