Law Of Leviticus

The Bible is full of many rules dictating exactly how followers of the Christian faith should conduct themselves, no set of rules concerning the laws of Christianity being more exhaustive than those or thorough than those found in the book of Leviticus. This set of laws is so extensive that one can find laws governing practically every aspect of human life ranging from legal dictates concerning food, various types of offerings, motherhood laws, laws concerning sacrifice and land and even some dedicated to lepers, of all things, the ordinances laid out in the book Leviticus being thorough and repressive enough to satisfy even the most hard-core legislator or religious zealot. Truth be told though that while many Christians today tout the strict adherence to "god's law" very few in reality have the slightest idea as to what exactly what they're subscribing to with recondite fanaticism, many often being totally shocked and repulsed or sent into a state of incomparable delusion when confronted with the grim reality of living by strict biblical codes. Agreeable or not though these laws are as indelible as time itself though getting the majority of Christians to willfully adhere to them would be a textbook example of an exercise in futility. This said, some say that the laws are meant to be taken only in an interpretive or metaphorical sense while others maintain that the laws should be strictly and unabashedly adhered to. The problem with such though is allowing interpretation to creep into the matter means giving an individual the ability to mold the laws to their lifestyle and standards, not the other way around. Conversely, strictly adhering by such laws necessitates implementing a very turgid and repressive system that ultimately creates a social and psychological atmosphere totally counterproductive to the religion's original intended purpose. Irrespective though of an individual's belief on the matter of which ideology is right the very idea of even trying to live by the strict laws of Leviticus is usually enough to turn away even the most fanatical of believers.
