Leviticus 18 is a well-known passage for its long list of condemnation of various sexual sins. And while it may be overwhelming, it's still helpful for us to know what God thinks about the sins of our world. And, even more importantly, we need to understand the judgment that awaits those who flagrantly violate His commands. So, join us in this heavy chapter that guides us in what purity looks like in an impure world. 

DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS:

1.    The podcast mentioned that ancient rabbis supposedly said that the Book of Leviticus was one of the first books that should be taught to children. How might the difficult material of Leviticus 18 protect children? 
2.    The podcast explained that the Book of Leviticus contains specific laws for the Israelites, but that Leviticus 18 was for all nations, for all times. What in Leviticus 18 shows this to be the case? What does Leviticus 18 show us will happen to a nation that violates these laws? 
3.    Verse 4 end by reminding the people that the Lord is their God. Why was this simple fact so important for them to remember when it comes to these laws? “Who” or “what” might be in competition with the Lord on these matters? 
4.    When people refuse to obey God’s laws, they often cite themselves and what they want to do; or what they think is right. Who are these people ultimately saying is their “god”? 
5.    What does verse 6 (and following) mean by the phrase “uncover their nakedness”? Who is spoken of in this prohibition in verses 7 to 11? How does the repetition of this command clarity what is pure in God’s eyes?
6.    In verse 25, what will the land do with those who break these laws? How have we seen this happen throughout history?
7.    Sometimes people read Leviticus 18 looking for gaps that where they can do something impure because it’s not listed in this passage. Is this passage meant to be exhaustive? What was Jesus’ point in Matthew 5:27&28? How does this help us understand the principle of holiness in life? 
8.    If you were to read Leviticus 18 in the public sphere (such as at work/school, etc.), how do you think people would respond? Where can you pray for the Lord to open hearts that people might repent and follow His ways?
