No, it is right.
But Torah is where Halacha begins, not ends. There are rules upon rules for when one should actually be executed.
From your own article:
The harshness of the death penalty indicated the seriousness of the crime. Jewish philosophers argue that the whole point of corporal...
Is this article wrong, can you provide some evidence to that effect.?
Torah[edit]
The Jewish Torah (the first five books of the Hebrew Bible: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy) serves as a common religious reference for Judaism. Stoning is the method of execution mentioned...
Now let's examine these two....also related questions.
"Should images be used in worship?"
Since the Jews were forbidden to use images of "anything" in their worship, the Christians would have followed that law because, according to scripture, idolatry was one of God's pet hates. (Exodus...
It looks like you maybe got this list from a post on Tasbeha?
It's actually only a partial listing (and some of the items are wrong). Along with stoning (the guilty is pushed off a high platform and if they're not dead yet, people throw stones at them) we also have three other forms of capital...
As far as Christians go, Jesus stops the stoning of the "woman taken in adultery", in what I find a rather moving story ( one of my favourites). The people bring her to him, saying according to the Law of Moses they should stone her. So he says to them, "Let he who is without sin among you cast...
Maybe if all the Jews, Christians and Muslims got together and really got stoned in a more modern sense, the world would be different.
Just a thought!:)
I don't get how ? Qur'an does not mention stoning to death as any capital punishment for any offense , while Bible implied it for a dozen of times . Sectarian Muslims endorse it in case of adultery/fornication while Christians/Jews do not do that . Muslims follow Bible and Christians/Jews follow...
:confused:
Hmmmm.
I don't think this is so hard.
What period am I living at, and what location, and nation?
Am I living more than 3000 years ago? Am I an Israelite? Am I living in the present?
What do you want me to be, and what time period, and what location?
Maybe give me those details. That...
land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of."
Since God's intent never was that Abraham complete the sacrifice, this is hardly contradictory. For more on this subject, see Glenn Miller's essay here
Exodus 22:29 "For thou shalt...
In Exodus 22:29-30 we read: “You shall not delay to offer from the fullness of your harvest and from the outflow of your presses. The first-born of your sons you shall give to me. You shall do likewise with your oxen and with your sheep: seven days it shall be with its dam; on the eighth day you...
I believe you should but then you should remember that Jews don't bury their dead in fire or in a garbage dump.
I believe what I am pointing out is that Hell is an English word used in translating and in many cases it is misused as you have pointed out because it does not mean the grave in...
Muffled,
Thanks for your reply. Regarding the Norse Mythology....
When I was younger I remembered a teacher that stated that Mythology was an extended version of Myths, but he really struggled as he researched it, and found that there were some people that played out these things in reality...
So Ben, do you really obey the Law of Moses?
“Say to the Israelites: ‘Any Israelite or any foreigner residing in Israel who sacrifices any of his children to Molek is to be put to death. The members of the community are to stone him.
Leviticus20:2
But a prophet who presumes to speak in my...
Wow, J2hapydna. The only person I see, who skirting the subject is you.
You, have quoted two verses, on about Molech, Jeremiah 32:35 and Leviticus20:2-3, none of which say it say that they were Amalekites.
What we do know is that the Canaanites do worship both Baal and Molech.
And you were...
Molech was a god of the Ammonites, Phoenicians and to some parts of Canaan. Those quotes from Leviticus and Deuteronomy are directly tied to the Canaanites, not to the Amalekites.
And the Valley of Ben Hinnom is what is referred to as Topheth and Gehenna, located in or just outside of Old City...
Jeremiah 32:35: "And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to...
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'
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...
