I just want help with this! I received this email today and had been asking myself the same questions since beginning to read the old testament about 1 month ago. I am a recent convert (baptised catholic as an infant, confirmed 2 years ago)…so I am CHOCK full of questions! What can anyone tell me about this email?
This is it word for word:
*"Dear President Bush,
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.
affair, like we do with people who sleep with their
in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)*

Thanks so much!

- 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? - I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as
sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. 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. - When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know
it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev1:9. The
problem is, my neighbors. They claim the odor is not
pleasing to them. Should I smite them? - 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, or should
I ask the police to do it? - 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? - 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? - 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 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? - 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.

- 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.
