Leviticus 17-18; Hebrews 12
King James Version with Web Encyclopedia links: Leviticus 17; Leviticus 18; Hebrews 12
Leviticus 17 deals with the community not eating blood. Why? Because the blood is precious in God's eyes from the blood that was first shed by Cain when he killed Abel to the substitutionar death of Jesus on the cross. Lev 17.11 'For the life of the body os in the blood, and I have given it to you to make atonement on the altar; it is the blood that makes an atonement for one's life.'Yes, the blood is precious in God's sight, it reminds God of how pecious Jesus blood was shed for us. In Acts 15.19-21, in the Jerusalem Council, the leaders including Peter and James decided on the requirements to accept the Gentiles into the church. The requirements were to abstain from food given to idols, from sexual immorality, from meat of strangled animals and from blood
Leviticus 18 deals with Unlawful Sexual Relations
Because God is a holy God, he requires his people to be holy. He wants his people to be responsible for their sexuality. A lsit is presented of sordid behavior they should keep away from. These include incest with close and near relatives, bestiality and homosexuality. We need to be like Joseph when he fled Potiphar's wife. We have to be very careful to love pure lives. Christians have many temptation on the Internet. The world has no shame but enjoys flaunting their immorality in the last days, which I believe we are in (2Timothy 3.1-9) We need to flee youthful lusts! (2Tim 2.22) Martin Luther (paraphrased) said "Temptations are like birds in air, they are all around, but you can stop them from nesting in your hair!"
Molech is mentioned, because of the child sacrifices among the Ammonites.

Hebrews 12 with Commentaries, verse by verse
Hebrews 12
The Christian Life is like a race, a marathaon, and we have people watching us run . We should just focus on the race and remove any obstacles that would prevent us from running toward our goal (v. 1-12)
The author then warns about refusing God and His grace. It is repeated for us not to ignore God but worship Him with reverence and awe.
