He certainly does. And I want to add that the whole Old Testament Law was written by a very loving Father, who knows exactly what His errant children will do, and how the consequences of their actions will hurt them. So He simply told us what not to do and what to do, to be happy and healthy! Having grown up without a father in the house, makes me appreciate the love of Leviticus.
Nice posts!

Nope, no problems there. No persecution to worry about, folks, it’s just going to be shiny, happy people holding hands and singing about tolerance.
