Letter to Dr. Laura


Dear Dr. Laura,

Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's  Law.   I have learned a great deal from you, and I 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 him 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 specific laws and how to best follow them.



a.  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.  How should I deal with this?



b.  I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as it  suggests 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 buy slaves from the nations  that are around us. A friend of mine claims that this applies  to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify?



e.  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?



f.  A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an  Abomination (Lev. 10:10), it is a lesser abomination than  homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this?



g.  Lev. 20:20 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?



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.
