Laws on lying with virgins, bestiality, mistreating orphans, widows, resident aliens, and the poor.

Are you more likely to be friendly toward someone at church who is attractive than someone who is repulsive in some way? Do you look with more favor on wealthy people than homeless people? This passage teaches us how to look at people the way God looks at them.

Love That Is Better Than Life Series

Contributed by Brian Bill on Mar 20, 2003
