Leviticus 20


I don't believe God punishes people, or rewards good behavior. If that were the case, bad people would all be living in misery, and good people would have everything going their way.

But the crimes and punishments listed in Leviticus 20 are very real, and people have been "cut off from their people" and "put to death" for millennia for committing the listed offenses. Some of the crimes were undoubtedly horrific. Others seem less so, although, as I've written before, I can see from a historical context where many of the laws clearly benefited the tribe, if not individuals.

I am not going to look back in time to primitive cultures and say the way things should or should not have been. I am only glad that a way of escape has been made for those who experience for themselves God's love and are changed by it.
