Leviticus 18:6-8 Stay pure in the midst offsexual immorality
"None of you shall approach anyone who is near of kin to him, to uncover his nakedness: I am the Lord. 7 The nakedness of your father or the nakedness of your mother you shall not uncover. She is your mother; you shall not uncover her nakedness. 8 The nakedness of your father’s wife you shall not uncover; it is your father’s nakedness.
Lev 18:0 Today's Word of Wisdom is a bit different, so bear with me. We live in a day when wicked people are trying to "normalize" pedophilia. In Leviticus 18, God labels various sexual acts, especially incest, as wickedness and prohibits them. It is interesting to note that these laws were given as Israel was about to enter the land of Canaan, which was filled with these wicked sexual practices and with child sacrifice. The message to us today is that though our land is filled with unspeakable sinful practices, we are called into the land to exemplify a higher standard of living which is achievable through Christ! The attached video unveils when these practices started and why the Canaanites were cursed.
NOTE: The term "Uncover your ____'s nakedness" refers to a sexual act or an act which strips a person of dignity or authority
