    Leviticus always struck me as a bit harsh.

    I remember this coming around e-mail a while ago - it's still good! I personally think that the bible is a historic document- not to say that it wasn't divinely inspired, but acknowledging that humans have had quite alot to do with the editing! But people, being people, will interpret it to suit their own purposes.

    I'm actually reading a book right now called "Misquoting Jesus". The author is a minister and professor of theology. The book is all about how the scribes who made the first copies added all sorts of things, some intentionally, some just transciption errors as this was long before the printing press. It's fascinating!

    I've always loved this email.

    This thread reminds me of a few services I've attended where the Minister picked
    one of these more "colorful" quotes from the Bible and "re-phrased" it in modern language -
    to sound REALLY controversial!

    The first 10 minutes of the sermon were a series of plays on the words ...
    building up to an illogical conclusion of what the writers "must have meant".
    THEN he'd get serious and expound upon what they "should have said".

    Speaking of misquoting Jesus, in Biblical times "abomination" didn't mean a sin and that you would be damned to hell for it. Instead, it meant you had done something to make you "dirty" and you needed to cleanse yourself before going to temple.

    Like with the not having relations with a woman who is on her period, that's why the women moved into the Red Tent during that time and they would perform a ritual to cleanse themselves afterwards so that they could return to pray at temple.

    That is an interesting fact. But, are you sure they were cleansing themselves to return to prayer at the temple, as opposed to some other activity?

    I got this from my sister

    Sometimes you have to get the message across
    as best we can. Try this for those who can't
    understand the King James Version:

    1. I'm God. Don't play me.
    (I am the Lord thy God, thou shalt not have any
    other gods before me.)

    2. Don't be makin no hood ornaments
    and charms outta me, or like me.
    (Thou shalt not have any graven images)

    3. Don't be callin' me for no reason
    (Thou shalt not use the name of the
    Lord thy God in vain)

    4. Y'all betta be in church on Sunday,
    and not just the Sundays when
    it's Mother's day, Easter
    and Christmas
    (Remember to keep the Sabbath day holy)

    5. Don't dis or cuss out yo momma...
    and if you know who ya daddy
    is, don't dis him neither.
    (Honor thy father and thy mother)

    6. Don't be goin' on no drive bys.
    (Thou shalt not kill)

    7. Stick to ya own Boo.
    (Thou shalt not commit adultery)

    8. Don't be borrow'n stuff and
    don't give it back.
    (Thou shalt not steal)!

    9. Don't be snitchin' on the otha'
    man to save your behind.
    (Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy brother)

    10. Don't be eyein' (skeeming) yo
    homie's crib, ride, woman,
    or nuffin.
    (Thou shalt not covet anything that belongs to thy brother).

    Hmmm.......I can't think of any other activity they might have been hurrying to get back too
