Is it not time to ditch the bible?
When your read some of the passages in Leviticus, it makes you wonder and indeed question 'the word of God'.
Some will argue, the book of Leviticus is ancient, and reflects the society of the time. It all kinda changed after A.D.
But seriously, disobedient children should be killed, disabled people not allowed in the temple of God, if you are ill, or have a skin condition you are not welcome in the temple of God. There is so much in the book of Leviticus that is jaw dropping. Damn right nasty, and mostly unacceptable in todays world.
Ditch the bible - it's quite nasty, and it adds fuel to the fire of hatred and discrimination. No place for that in todays world.

without the bible there is no hope
also it would be nice if you quoted the passages where it says such things since those quotes are essentially your whole argument.

You have to see the big picture. The Book of the Law, Leviticus, was meant to set a standard that was unattainable. All of the sacrifices that were needed for cleansing and pleasing God were to show that it was impossible for "man" to do so. This paved the way for the supreme sacrifice of Jesus Christ, The Perfect Lamb/Sacrifice. That was the only sacrifice acceptable to atone for man's sin. For this reason, there is no more need for the laws of Leviticus, they have been fulfilled.

If you will study the book of Romans, especially if you study it prayerfully, this will be revealed to you. This is not a strange doctrine but is commonly accepted.
