I guess you didn’t read what I said or do not understand the process of rightly dividing the scriptures and asking who, what, where, and why when reading something in the Bible. God gave laws specifically to Israel, which are not applicable to any other nation, nor throughout all time periods in...
I can't argue with your logic.
However, the question of the law of Moses in our time has already received a classic response by anon., which in case you haven't come across it I set out below. ('Laura' is the columnist Laura Schlessinger.) ─
Dear Dr. Laura:
Thank you for doing so much to...
Not labor intensive.
Not labor intensive.
Not labor intensive, and also not allowed to mourn for the dead? Touching a corpse, fine. That must a weird translation thing.
The virgin sister is telling. Also maybe possibly you can touch your wife.
Not labor intensive.

I see all quotes that are not from Jesus which the religion is based on. Muhammad which the religion is based on actually did those things like kill people. Again there's a clear difference. If Christians followed jesus, turn the other cheek, go the extra mile, forgive those who insult and hurt...
Exodus 21:29 - if an ox gores someone, its owner should be killed.
Exodus 35:2 - a man who works on the Sabbath should be put to death.
Leviticus20:14 - if a man marries a woman and her mother, all three should be burnt to death.
Of course, modern Christians understand this as contextual...
Judaism follows the mosaic law...not christians.
The law of the Christ is different to the law of Moses. The only punishment in Christianity is disfellowship. Its what some people call 'shunning'
I don't see Jesus saying anything that forbids the exaction of physical punishment. Are you referring to the interpolated Pericope Adulterae? Jesus says to never murder out of anger. I don't think you've actually read the gospels all the way through outside of a list of cherry picked verses...
Many laws of the Old Testament are contrary to the law that Jesus taught us in the Gospel because do not contemplate the mercy and forgiveness. Therefore, they are an unbearable burden. Here are some of these Old Testament laws:
"And if a man take a wife and her mother, it is infamy...
From a term Paper I wrote: The most common verse used for the death penalty is Leviticus 24:20-21.
Death was the punishment of:
striking or even reviling a parent (Exodus 21:15; Exodus 21:17);
blasphemy (Leviticus 24:14; Leviticus 24:16; Leviticus 24:23);
Sabbath-breaking (Numbers...
If a christian just based their belief on the old testament, they wouldn't be christian they would be jewish. Practically all the capital punishment verses you post are from the OT. With NT capital punishment verses much much less with a couple directed towards jesus own crucifiction. The...
So where does it say in the NT that they are NOT ALLOWED to kill?
You merely point out the love thy neighbor verse.
Are you seriously trying to stretch the love thy neighbor verse to include capital punishment?
Are you serious?
Especially in light of all the commands GOD gives to use capital...
Then why does the Bible have all manner of different punishments for the various sins?
For example:
burning (Genesis 38:24; Leviticus20:14; Daniel 3:6),
hanging (Numbers 25:4; Deuteronomy 21:22; Deuteronomy 21:23; Joshua 8:29; 2 Samuel 21:12; Esther 7:9; Esther 7:10),
crucifying (Matthew...
Couldn't tell you.
BUt it sems to me that if God really thought that "sin is sin", he would not have prescribed so many differing punishments for the various sins.
Some of the various punishments for sin:
burning (Genesis 38:24; Leviticus20:14; Daniel 3:6),
hanging (Numbers 25:4; Deuteronomy...
The most common verse used for the death penalty is Leviticus 24:20-21.
Death was the punishment of striking or even reviling a parent (Exodus 21:15; Exodus 21:17);
blasphemy (Leviticus 24:14; Leviticus 24:16; Leviticus 24:23);
Sabbath-breaking (Numbers 15:32-36);
witchcraft (Exodus 22:18)...
Ok, I will flat out call you a liar.
Why?
Because the Bible not only says to kill, but even dictates how and when:
What is really interesting is the fact that these lists are incomplete...
You really need to re-read the Bible:Thou Shalt not kill unless the one being killed:
rejects the verdict of the judge or of the priest who represents the LORD your God (Deuteronomy 17:12)
is a homosexual (Leviticus 20:13)
acts as a medium or fortuneteller (Leviticus 20:27)
strikes his father...
Are you nuts?
If we are to adopt the Biblical sins as law, then are we not also obligated to adopt the Biblically stated punishments for said sins?
Death was the punishment of:
striking or even reviling a parent (Exodus 21:15; Exodus 21:17);
blasphemy (Leviticus 24:14; Leviticus 24:16...
