10 Questions Biblical Literalists Cannot Honestly Answer

RE: 10 Questions Biblical Literalists Cannot Honestly Answer
(June 15, 2017 at 11:13 am)alpha male Wrote: The other provisions mentioned are just in the law, and so only apply to Israel. This isn't a difficult concept. I don't know why skeptics struggle so much with it.

Jesus was very clear: "Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets; I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not one letter, not one stroke of a letter, will pass from the law until all is accomplished. Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, will be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven."

It is a simple concept that it's only for Israel because Jesus said he was only here for the Jews and you're not a Jew so Jesus is not for you.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
