Being gay & living in Cornwall, I do need advice from the Bull’s,who own a guesthouse at Marizion in Cornwall and recently banned a gay couple who are in a civil partnership from staying at their hotel, despite accepting the booking. pErhaps the Bull's could give advice regarding biblical laws and how best to follow them, them being such good Cornish christians in opposition to equality for gay people.
1. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odour for the Lord (Lev. 1:9). The problem is Kerrier Environmental Health Department. They may claim the odour is not pleasing & an environmental health hazard. I could be fined. How should I deal with this?
2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as it suggests in the Bible (Exod. 21:7). In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her and where would I find my nearest Bible recommended slave market in Cornwall?
Is it now at the Truro cattle market?
3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness (Lev. 15:19-24). The problem is, how do I tell?
I have tried asking, but most Cornish women seem to take offence.
4. The Bible also states that I may buy slaves from the nations that are around us (Lev. 25:44). A friend of mine claims that being in Cornwall this applies to our near neighbours the Spanish but not the English. Can you clarify the Bible stance?
5. I have a neighbour who insists on working on the Sabbath. The Bible clearly states he should be put to death (Exod. 35:2). Am I morally obligated to kill him myself and can I use a twelve bore?
6. My friend practices the Wiccan Pagan religion. Since the Bible states that he must be put to death (Exodus 22:18 ), am I morally obligated to kill him as well?
7. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination (Lev. 11:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don’t agree and Cornish Oyster fishermen in the Falmouth Estuary might have something to say on this. Can you settle this?
8. The Bible states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight (Lev. 21:21-23). I have to admit that I wear prescription glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here if I go to Specsave and get new glasses or contact lenses?
9. I’m thinking of booking a holiday on the island of Crete, but the Bible states that people from the island of Crete are liars and lazy (Titus 1:12). Should I reconsider a holiday there?
10. I read Amnesty International is in Thailand protesting the selling of under-aged girls into slavery and prostitution. Should I write my Cornish Member of Parliament and request that we encourage these young girls to obey their masters as it states in the Bible (Eph. 6:5)?
11. Should I have the foreskin of my penis cut off?
The Bible commands that all men must do this (Exod. 12:48 ). I would have my doctor do it but I think I can save some money by doing it myself. Any ideas on how best to do it?
12. At my local church, some women lead a Bible study. What is the best way to tell them to shut up?
We must not have women speaking in church when the Bible forbids them to (1 Timothy 2:12).
13. I notice many women in church wear jewellery. Since women are forbidden to wear jewellery (1 Peter 3:3) what is the best way to tell them God is going to torture them in hell for eternity for doing so?
14. I want to obey the Bible and greet all the women at the local church with a kiss (2 Thess. 1:26). Why do I get strange looks from them when I do - especially from their husbands?
What about French kissing?
15. Recently, I have considered asking several women at my church to marry me since it is permissible for a man to have many wives (1 Kings 11:3). Why am I continually rejected?
16. I suppose I will not get married since the Bible states that men should not marry (1 Cor. 7:1). What do you suggest?
17. There are many unbelievers where I work and because we are forbidden to associate with them (1 Cor. 4:11). I am wondering how best to tell them to keep away from me, difficult since one is my boss.
18. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden (Lev 19:27.) How should they die?
19. I know (Lev 11:6-8) that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play Cornish rugby if I wear gloves?
20. My uncle has a farm. He violates God’s word (Lev 19:19) by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town of Helston together to stone them? (Lev 24:10-16) Couldn’t we just burn them to death at a private family affair like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)
Thank you again Mr & Mrs Bull for reminding us what the Bible says about homosexuality, your opposition to legal protection of gay people on religious grounds.
