The Erev Shabbat (Friday evening) of two-part Double-parsha “Kedoshim,” then “Emor,” Leviticus chapters 19 through 24, is what Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship suggests is an interesting combination, given the number and relationships of the multitude of statutes, judgments, and commandments in this section. Some of it repeats the prohibition of sexual sins and even abominations outlined last week, but this time including penalties, while others literally “cover the map” – from things seem related, to many that don’t — almost like a scatter-gun.

And it certainly makes for some interesting questions!

The Erev Shabbat reading:

The combination of these two paraschot includes what amounts to a ‘tour de force’ of proof texts why so much of the Whore Church has literally turned its back on Scripture. From sexuality, to economics, to the common law and even common decency, the fact that so much of what He says to do “forever,” and even “throughout your generationss,” and “in all your dwelling places,” is not only now ignored, but considered “not PC,” is more than telling.

It’s an indictment.
