Trey,

I am not really sure what you are trying to say here. Are pointing out contradictions, saying Steven has misquoted The Bible, saying he only looked at the negative parts?

And for Jewish people, what?

>The Bible, like any other Holy Book, is to be taken as a whole. When you get past the Pentateuch, try again. For Christians, that includes the New Testament. So try to include that with your arguments.
>I'll give a few examples to start with.
>
>>
>>I want to thank you for your efforts to educate us regarding
>>the Bible and God's law. I can learn a great deal from
>>you, and I try to share that knowledge with as many
>>people as I can.
>
>A little learning is a dangerous thing;
>Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring:
>There shallow draughts intoxicate the brain,
>And drinking largely sobers us again. -- Alexander Pope
>
>To paraphrase CS Lewis - Let us discuss books written for adults like adults and not like children.
>
>>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.
>
>We are not to pass judgement, nor is it up to us to forgive sins that were not committed against us personally, which includes a homosexual lifestyle. see I Corinthians 6:18.
>
>>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?
>
>See Mark 12:33
>
>>
>>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?
>
>See I Timothy 1:9-11
>
>>
>>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.
>
>Ibid. btw: that would also be called Adultery - if the woman is your wife, you can always apologize for asking.
>Read Lev. 15:1-18 - before worrying about a woman making you unclean, have some consideration for her in not making her unclean.
>
>>
>>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?
>
>Only if you're an Israelite living with Moses at the time.
>
>>
>>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?
>>
>
>Numbers 35:30
>
>>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?
>
>James 2:10 - apparently there's no difference; to the Lord sin is sin.
>As for food, see Romans 14:20
>
>>
>>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 prescription glasses. Does my vision have
>>to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?
>
>Lev. 21:20 (for the others following)
>You couldn't approach the altar (according to Leviticus) unless you are a descendant of Aaron, anyway.
>The other defects listed therein appear to be more physically apparent, so if you are a descendant of Aaron, you may be alright.

>>I expect 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.
