Bible Study, Community, Political, Rants, , , ,

Since soo many people claiming to be “christian” like to mis-quote a verse, I am sharing some passages that should be read.

Leviticus 18:6-20 (GOD is speaking to Moses) (NLT)
6“You must never have sexual relations with a close relative, for I am the Lord.
7“Do not violate your father by having sexual relations with your mother. She is your mother; you must not have sexual relations with her.
8“Do not have sexual relations with any of your father’s wives, for this would violate your father.
9“Do not have sexual relations with your sister or half sister, whether she is your father’s daughter or your mother’s daughter, whether she was born into your household or someone else’s.
10“Do not have sexual relations with your granddaughter, whether she is your son’s daughter or your daughter’s daughter, for this would violate yourself.
11“Do not have sexual relations with your stepsister, the daughter of any of your father’s wives, for she is your sister.
12“Do not have sexual relations with your father’s sister, for she is your father’s close relative.
13“Do not have sexual relations with your mother’s sister, for she is your mother’s close relative.
14“Do not violate your uncle, your father’s brother, by having sexual relations with his wife, for she is your aunt.
15“Do not have sexual relations with your daughter-in-law; she is your son’s wife, so you must not have sexual relations with her.
16“Do not have sexual relations with your brother’s wife, for this would violate your brother.
17“Do not have sexual relations with both a woman and her daughter. And do not take her granddaughter, whether her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter, and have sexual relations with her. They are close relatives, and this would be a wicked act.
18“While your wife is living, do not marry her sister and have sexual relations with her, for they would be rivals.
19“Do not have sexual relations with a woman during her period of menstrual impurity.
20“Do not defile yourself by having sexual intercourse with your neighbor’s wife.

Leviticus 19:9-14 (GOD is speaking to Moses) (NLT)
9“When you harvest the crops of your land, do not harvest the grain along the edges of your fields, and do not pick up what the harvesters drop. 10It is the same with your grape crop—do not strip every last bunch of grapes from the vines, and do not pick up the grapes that fall to the ground. Leave them for the poor and the foreigners living among you. I am the Lord your God.
11“Do not steal.
“Do not deceive or cheat one another.
12“Do not bring shame on the name of your God by using it to swear falsely. I am the Lord.
13“Do not defraud or rob your neighbor.
“Do not make your hired workers wait until the next day to receive their pay.
14“Do not insult the deaf or cause the blind to stumble. You must fear your God; I am the Lord.

Leviticus 19:33-34 (GOD is speaking to Moses) (NLT)
33“Do not take advantage of foreigners who live among you in your land. 34Treat them like native-born Israelites, and love them as you love yourself. Remember that you were once foreigners living in the land of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.

Leviticus 20:10 (GOD is speaking to Moses) (NLT)
10“If a man commits adultery with his neighbor’s wife, both the man and the woman who have committed adultery must be put to death.

NOW, Look at the current US President. Before you join his bandwagon of hatred, think on these things.
