Blind People and blemishes

[BoyntonStu]

Ex.4:11 "Who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD?"

Lev.21:17-23 "Whosoever ... hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God. For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous, Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded, Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken; No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God. ... Only he shall not go in unto the vail, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries."


First, you blind them.
Second, you don't allow them to worship you.

A truly loving god?


Do you have a blemish?

Ex.4:11 "Who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD?"

Lev.21:17-23 "Whosoever ... hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God. For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous, Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded, Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken; No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God. ... Only he shall not go in unto the vail, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries."

Excellent example of biblical contradiction, Bstu. You might really enjoy this website:

They've catalogued every such contradiction in the scripture and cross-linked it... also worked on the Quran and the Book of Mormon (very even-handed of them... eh what?)

My sense of humor does zero in on one particular advantage to being born too "blemished" to be welcomed into their "temple" ... the blemished would not be chosen victims for the blood sacrifice rituals! Whew! :grin:

Obviously, anyone who wastes the lives of the most perfect creatures (and/or children or young men... or virgins, etc) has participated in a sort of counter-evolution, by allowing the imperfect to live and procreate, while taking the lives of the most unblemished (presumably before they could reproduce themselves, since virgins are always preferred sacrifices).

I can well imagine being born "too perfect" in appearance, and upon realizing my possible fate, running around the village screaming, "HELP!!! Screw me! Break my leg! #$%^@! me up NOW!!!"

...or he that hath a flat nose...

Tsk tsk tsk. Obvious racial profiling and political incorrectness. :wink:

Not a SINGLE Christian response to Scripture!

Cluck, cluck!

It seems that you are on an ignore list, BoynstonStu. ;)

Lev.21:17-23 "Whosoever ... hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God. For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous, Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded, Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken; No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God. ...

Gotta love those Leviticus passages. ;)
