Same Sex marriage Letter to Senator
Regarding the proposed Constitutional Amendment to Ban
same-sex marriages, the following is a letter proposed
to the leading Senator in this drive.
Senator Rick Santorum
Senate Office Building
Washington, D.C.
Dear Sen. Santorum:
Re: "Federal Marriage Amendment":
Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding
God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your speeches
on the Senate floor in support of a Constitutional amendment
against "gay" marriage. I am now trying 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, as you said, 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.
1.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 toMexicans,
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. 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?
4. 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?
5. 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?
6. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of
God if I have a defect in my sight. I wear reading glasses.
Does my vision have to be
20/20, or is there some wiggle-room here?
7. 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?
8. 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?
9. 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. Couldn't we just burn them to
death at a private family affair, like we do with people
who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)
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!
Your obedient servant,
|
