I recently converted to Christianity, but I really need some help?
1.) Leviticus 25:44 states that I may posses slaves, both male
and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A
friend of mine claimed 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 sanctioned 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 - Leviticus 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 sacrifice, I know it created a pleasing odor for the Lord - Leviticus 1:9. The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
5.) (Last Question) My uncle has a farm. He violates Leviticus 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? Leviticus 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? (Leviticus 20:14)
I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy considerable expertise in such matters, so I'm confident you can help. Thank you for your time and thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging!
