Kudo's to you for finding those verses. I haven't cracked the book in a long time. :o

Yeah, there's a lot of things in the bible that read funny now. But Eric is right. These were laws and such for the Old Testament. Jesus' life, death and resurrection supercedes those laws...with the noted exception of the Ten Commandments. Jesus even instructs several people to continue to obey the Big Ten (the commandments, not the College Football Conference...).

And although this thought has not popped up in this thread, I believe that there is plenty of evidence that God has a sense of humor. Just look at my social life.... :)
