The preacher, in his Sunday sermon, used
> "Forgive Your Enemies" as his subject. After a long

> Not satisfied he harangued for another twenty
> minutes and repeated his question. This time he
> received a response of about 80 percent. Still
> unsatisfied, he lectured for another 15 minutes and
> repeated his question. With all thoughts now on
> Sunday dinner, all responded except one elderly lady
> in the rear. "Mrs. Jones, are you not willing to
> forgive your enemies?" "I don't have any," Mrs.
> Jones replied. "Mrs. Jones, that is very unusual.
> How old are you?" "Ninety three." "Mrs. Jones,
> please come down in front and tell the congregation
> how a person can live to be ninety-three, and not
> have an enemy in the world." The little sweetheart
> of a lady tottered down the aisle, very slowly

> 1. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a

> claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
>
> 2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in

> for her?
>
> 3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her

> I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.

> 4. Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed 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

>
> 5. 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

>
> 6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an

> don't agree. Can you settle this?
>
> 7. 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

>
> 8. 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?

> 9. 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?

>
> 10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by planting two

made
