Leviticus

LEVITICUS 18

Evidently, the population had grown sufficiently from the time of Noah and the flood, that marrying your sister was no longer okay. Having multiple wives however, was still okay ... long as your wives were not sisters to each other. When did it come not okay to have multiple wives?

LEVITICUS 19

We are no longer under the old law. However, many (if not all) of these laws still sound ... sound for today. Shouldn't we still be following all of these laws to the best of our ability? Is it okay to pick and choose which we will follow and which we won't?

Personally, I do not give offerings of slaughtered animals so that section doesn't really apply to me.

Honor your mother and father; don't steal, lie, cheat or gossip (especially maliciously). These all seem like good ideas.

Do not plant your field with two kinds of seed, do not wear clothing woven of two different materials, do not put tattoo marks on your body; I see alot of these in the world today including in our churches. Is it okay to do these things? Does the Lord still want us following His laws?
