READING LIST FOR LAW AND HISTORY

King James Version with Web Encyclopedia Links:Leviticus 18

Today's Reading Leviticus 18

Leviticus 18 deals with Unlawful Sexual Relations
Because God is a holy God, he requires his people to be holy. He wants his people to be responsible for their sexuality. A lsit is presented of sordid behavior they should keep away from. These include incest with close and near relatives, bestiality and homosexuality. We need to be like Joseph when he fled Potiphar's wife. We have to be very careful to love pure lives. Christians have many temptation on the Internet. The world has no shame but enjoys flaunting their immorality in the last days, which I believe we are in (2Timothy 3.1-9) We need to flee youthful lusts! (2Tim 2.22) Martin Luther (paraphrased) said "Temptations are like birds in air, they are all around, but you can stop them from nesting in your hair!"

Molech is mentioned, because of the child sacrifices among the Ammonites.
