Summary

Leviticus, the third book of the Old Testament (the Jewish Torah) reads like an instruction manual, laying out behavioral norms on morality, organized worship, and how Israel, God's Kingdom, should run its government and military. The main theme throughout this book is holiness. Mike Slater, a pastor, and a rabbi explore how the theological themes addressed in Leviticus can be interpreted and applied to today and our current struggle for objective truth, morality, freedom of religion, and freedom from an increasingly tyrannical government.

0:00.0	Hey, welcome to Politics by Faith. I'm Mike Slater. Merry Christmas. Thank you for being here.
0:11.3	We got something special for you today. While back on the TV show, we recorded a special on the
0:16.5	Book of Leviticus. I don't know of any other TV program or station that would allow such a thing,
0:23.8	but we spent an hour on the Book of Leviticus. We did a special on each of the first five books of the Bible,
0:28.5	each of the books of the Torah. One could argue that of all the books in the Torah, I would say Exodus, but a close second is Leviticus,
0:41.6	on what is most relevant to America.

0:50.2	Look at the Liberty Bell.
0:52.6	The description on the Liberty Bell, of all the things that they could have written on the Liberty Bell, right? The description on the Liberty Bell of all the things that they
0:55.9	could have written on the Liberty Bell is Leviticus. Leviticus 2510, proclaim liberty throughout all the
1:02.0	land unto all the inhabitants thereof. Like, like, that's in Levitica. Our founders knew that.
1:10.5	It was a great line. Be holy because I, the Lord, your God, am holy.
1:14.4	So we break all this down and make this perfectly relevant to us all today.
1:21.0	The Bible is living and active.
1:24.4	Let's do it.
1:25.7	Hey, Slider Crusaders. America is the greatest country in the world. Welcome to today's special
1:29.8	about the book of Leviticus. Why are we doing this? Our culture today says that these are just
1:36.4	silly stories of an ancient religion that doesn't mean anything anymore to us and all the rest.
1:43.3	We are much more advanced than this old the rest. We are much more advanced than this old
1:46.7	silly thing. We're much more progressive today, more enlightened than those backwards people in the
1:53.2	Bible. My goal here is to show how relevant these ancient books are to us today.
