Why do you believe the earth is round when the Bible clearly indicates that the earth is flat?
By what mechanism did Jesus raise anyone from the dead?
I didn't ask what the ritual genital mutilation was for, I asked if you think it was a moral or immoral practice.
Do you believe that slavery is a noble enterprise?
I have news for you. Witches and non-believers are being stoned to death and murdered based upon Biblical principles in Africa even now; i.e., https://www.africanexponent.com/post/is-...-real-3155
How you feel about the laws in the US is irrelevant. I asked you whether or not certain Biblical laws/practices are moral or immoral.
The Bible doesn't teach the world is flat.
It was the practice God directed so moral.
No, I don't think slavery is a noble practice, come on.
The Bible is a book of CLAIMS, not history. Stories about miracles must be regarded as myths until you prove that such events are even possible. Cite a historian who was a contemporary of Jesus who can attest that Bible Jesus even existed.
The Bible doesn't teach the world is flat.
Wrong! To wit:
"Daniel 4:10-11. In Daniel, the king “saw a tree of great height at the centre of the earth… reaching with its top to the sky and visible to the earth's farthest bounds.” Only with a flat Earth could a tall tree be visible from "the earth's farthest bounds" — this is impossible on a spherical Earth.
[*]Matthew 4:8: "Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world..." Impossible on a spherical earth.
[*]Luke 4:5: "And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time." Again, this would be impossible on a spherical earth.
[Genital mutilation] was the practice God directed, so moral.
So, if God sanctions the gratuitous killing of human beings (Book of Job), that must be moral too?
No, I don't think slavery is a noble practice, come on.
You've just stated that what God directed is moral. Bible God sanctioned slavery, so according to your reasoning, owning slaves is moral.
