This was sent to me and I'm passing it on.

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.

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?

Also, 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?

I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman
while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanness (Lev. 15:19-24). The problem is, How do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.

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?

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?

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?

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?

Dr. Laura, I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you can help.

A Devoted Fan

Today I heard Dr. Laura reading a letter someone sent in to her. "What Mr. Right is looking for in Ms. Right.

It sounded pretty cool, however, at the end, she continued to quote from the letter:

"As Ellen G. White said, The world needs men who wil not be bought....."

You know the famous quote taken from the book Education? I recently learned that that quote came from someone else. But then, what's new?

The audacity of SDA's pride in their prophet(ess).
Sickening, if you ask me.

BMorgan, do you know Praise999? If not, I wish you could: a more wonderful Christian person I do not know.

Max,
I do not know Praise 999. Is there a way I can get in touch with her? I love meeting wonderful christians. (No joke!) You can get my email from Colleen.

Before I jump the gun, are you being facitious? Just checking. Sometimes I have a hard time understanding your humor and/or seriousness. (I am being polite.)

By the way, where is Maryann? Is she back in California? Hi Maryann.

To Max=Jude, with Love.,
BMorgan

Hi BMorgan,

The only way I know of for you to get in touch with Praise999 is for you to field a request on this website and hope that s/he responds.
