Leviticus. You will note that the statues mentioned today all have at least two things in common. First, they are sins against God; violations of His holiness. Second, they are sins against other humans, each destructive in its own way. Consequently, they all break what Jesus described as the Great Commandment ("You shall love God with all your heart, soul, strength and mind.") and the second greatest one ("You shall love your neighbor as yourself.")
As I read these again, I could sort of remember a time when many of the moral commands concerned sins that seemed so foreign to our culture. Now they seem so common. I pray that God will turn us around!
