- rape
- murder (not merely "killing")
Child Abuse: Deuteronomy 21: 18-21, Proverbs 30:17, Psalm 137:9
Rape: Numbers 31:15-18
Terrorism: Deuteronomy 2:25
Genocide (murder): Deuteronomy 2:34
Discrimination: Leviticus 21:17-23
There are more. Sounds like they were acceptable and condoned.
Are we discussing what Christers believe? Or are we trying to determine whether a supreme being of any flavor actually exists?
In quoting these verses, are you suggesting that they provide justification for these things in YOUR opinion?
If the Bible is NOT your guide, then please tell me whether any of the actions listed above are right or wrong regardless of who, when or where they occur.
