John and Paul are in the bible, people who like the bible would like John and Paul
How does this follow? Satan's in the bible too?
You're not fit for Christianity if you believe Christ is in a grave.
Of course he's not in a grave. The body was either taken or resuscitated from a bad medical issue and he died somewhere else.
They're listed from the perspective of the male, because that's just how it is. But the same way a man can't have relations with his mother, a mother can't have relations with her son. Its a question of recognized relationships, not individual prohibitions. The relationship between a mother and child is recognized, the relationship between a father and child is not. Hence its prohibited for a person to have relations with his mother
Which tells me they were still a little unclear about how the birds and bees work.
Showing up at the illegitimate feast the Rabbis made up themselves would be the appropriate time to tell them they were not his sheep.
Why aren't they his sheep? Why are sheep not of his flock punished for not being part of the flock when it is the shepherd who is disowning them?
The rape of Dinah and her brothers' revenge. Rape is prohibited.
That's an iffy case, though, since no one cares what Dinah thought and the brothers are the ones who accused the prince of raping her with no evidence other than the guy was a foreigner and a prince no less, which would put her higher up on the social scale than they were. Can't have that.
…For sin was in the world before the Law was given; but sin is not taken into account when there is no law.
Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam until Moses,even over those who did not sin in the way that Adam transgressed. He is a pattern of the One to come. But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many!…
Moses lived in Egypt, a place with laws. We can read them today. His exile from Egypt stemmed in part from being a murderer, which was against the law. He can't claim self-defense as it didn't involve him. The law stated he should've gone to the Grand Vizier and filed a grievance and let what due process might be squeezed out of ancient law. He chose to be a vigilante and Egypt wouldn't have it.
It's abundantly clear that G-d destroyed them because they were wicked and sinful.
It's abundantly clear people were labeled wicked and sinful. We vilify people we want to screw over all the time.
And it had a fixed penalty, "In the day you eat of it you will surely die"
Which didn't happen.
God says to follow Jesus to save your life
That's more iffy than saying if you don't build a boat you're gonna drown.
If there is no death penalty attached it is not a law.
Are you the kind of guy who'd end up in a youtube video driving a car, getting pulled over, and claiming you're a sovereign citizen and you're not driving, you're "travelling"? Those idiots claim traffic laws aren't laws all the time. You don't get executed for running a red light (unless karma dictates you get smacked).
Notice how after Moses everything seems to have a penalty?
Why is Cain exiled? If I were his lawyer, I'd argue that God had no reason to punish him for offering crops as a sacrifice as it has not been established that it's bad AND murder has not been established and one shouldn't be punished for what is not a crime.
Why should I listen to Moses? He was a religious terrorist who got everyone in his generation killed off bar a couple of people.
Written in stone for all to see.
That's probably because they didn't live under Hammurabi or someone like that.
It was arbitrary justice.
Thanks for admitting that. I hate it when people claim there is absolute morality when it's clearly just whatever we thought up at the time.
When Moses took his staff and struck a rock, the rock split open and life giving water poured from the Rock. Jesus was the Rock.
John 19:34 Instead, one of the soldiers pierced Jesus' side with a spear, bringing a sudden flow of blood and water.
Moses couldn't go to the Promised Land after that scene. What he did was wrong.
Again, strictly because God decided it was, not that there was anything written in stone about it.
…They open wide their mouth at me, As a ravening and a roaring lion.
I am poured out like water, And all my bones are out of joint; My heart is like wax; It is melted within me. My strength is dried up like a potsherd, And my tongue cleaves to my jaws; And You lay me in the dust of death.…
When did this happen to Jesus?
Everybody dies for Adam's sin, Court sometimes decides your time to die is sooner than you had hoped.
Only guilty people are killed?
