Week 48, Day 3: Immorality

Today’s Reading:  Leviticus 18:1 – 19:37

Some thoughts from the reading..

Among the many things addressed in these two chapters there is a statement that refers to why the Canaanites were being expelled from the land before Israel.  18:24-25 mentions that all the nations being cast out before Israel had defiled themselves by the immoral practices mentioned earlier in the chapter.  Among these practices were having sexual relations with animals.  Because of such practices the land has “spewed out its inhabitants” (18:25).  Some of the other practices mentioned are having intercourse with a neighbor’s wife, offerinng their children to Molech and also lying with a male as one does with a female.  God tells Israel not to defile itself like these people have. 

Question:  Which of these practices do you hear of people defiling themselves by today?  Do you think that God views these practices any differently now?
