He summed up the law and the prophets with two commandments: 1) love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, and soul and 2) your neighbor as yourself. He explained that everyone was your neighbor. Further instruction and detailed examples were given in the other dozens and dozens of chapters.Mosaic Law: If children are disobedient, stone them. If a woman is raped in the city where she failed to call for help, stone her. If a man picks up sticks on the sabbath, stone him. If a man suspects his wife was unfaithful, let the priest give her a drink that will force abortion. Thou shalt not kill unless I command you to.
Jesus: Love the lord and your neighbor.
Yes, I see the connection. A clear summary if you look at it spiritually.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
