It's a tired old contradiction by the Christians (and any religion that has a really old book of brutally horrific laws): God is perfect with perfect laws and those laws do not change - the contradiction of course - some of those laws are no longer in force because of Jesus etc etc.
So, Mr. The-Old-Laws-Do-Not-Apply-Thanks-to-Jesus ( - you already know if this title applies to you)
Lets find out if you the devout christian on these forums, will really ride the Christianity wave all the way to the brutal end ...
Lets imagine for a moment that you (a bible-believing christian) had discovered the ability to travel through time. It doesn't matter that we don't actually have the ability to travel through time - or even if your god would or would not allow such a thing. The actual logistics of time travel has nothing to do with this scenario.
What does matter is that YOU suddenly find yourself 2400+ years in the past and living among the Israelite army and the entire Hebrew nation. First of all, what a huge bonus for you -- everything is true. The Bible, the Ark, the stories of King David, Joshua ... all of it, true. How awesome for you to return and throw it in the face of the atheists.
Unfortunately, it only takes a few weeks and there's a problem. You see, as much as you defend the Bible, you now realize that there's some things that have been happening that you've had a hard time swallowing. You've been asked to go into battle, and although you felt justified, cutting that woman in half was difficult, and watching those babies get bashed was tough to watch. Now, you can hear the young women screaming in the tents as your fellow soldiers enjoy the spoils of war. You know of course that this is god's will because Jesus has not yet removed the "laws" from use. It's getting tougher by the day as you make more friends out of the Hebrew and their actions continually turn your stomach.
Than one day, you hear a 6 year old boy tell his father that he's a schmuck as he runs off to play with his friends. You know that god's laws are perfect and they are in force and you also know what will soon be asked of you. Later that day, that same little boy's father hands you a stone the size of a bowling ball. He has a tear in his eye, but his son has been continually disrespectful for weeks and he, LIKE YOU, knows that god's law is perfect. He must adhere to it, just as he did when his eldest daughter was found not to be a virgin on her wedding day, despite her earnest cries that she indeed was.
What to do? What to do?
Kill the kid, rape the women, and become an avid follower of your god's perfect laws?
........................ or do you do the right thing?
