It was not considered incest when Cain took a sister for his wife. That type of close bonding was not to always be, and someone committing incest or other crimes considered by God, under the Law given to the Israelites, which was given much later, was to be put to death.
Leviticus20:11,12: "If...
I totally agree, the Jesus I believe in and think is a good role model would never want children to be killed (because I think that is wrong and bad), and there is even that verse in the New Testament about something like "whoever harms these little ones" that they should have some heavy thing...
The Bible, whether the old or the new covenants states what should be the proper sexual relation. The only proper sexual relation is when a man and a woman are husband and wife. Outside of the marriage is detestable and a sin against God.
What is improper is also mentioned and that includes...
Reuben wasn't put to death... maybe Canaan's mom was a concubine, too?
In the beginning, the rule was one man and one wife. IMHO, that rule never changed.
Ahem...Ham "uncovered his Father's nakedness." See Leviticus20:11 for what this means:
11 And the man that lieth with his father's wife hath uncovered his father's nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
Apparently Ham had sex with Noah's wife...
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'
As I said before many things have been and are done which are wrong and some people may use God or the Bible as their defense or excuse...but that does not make God or the Bible wrong because people are acting contrary to the scriptures.
I think you are now off topic and simply attacking...
Direct contradiction to its teachings is the reason we have war - well I won't argue that point - because it has validity. But - it ignores war and violence wrought in the name of God and using the Bible as defense. Here is just one example of that kind of interpretation
Never mind the fact that...
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...
Many people make the mistake of believing the Bible says, You shall not kill. However, the Bible actually says, You shall not murder (Exodus 20:13). The Hebrew word literally means the unlawful, intentional, premeditated killing of another person. God often ordered the Israelites to go to...

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...
Many people use the Bible to justify the use of the death penalty.
