(November 21, 2012 at 5:47 pm)John V Wrote: Ah, I see the problem. I wrote "reward if obeyed and punishment if not." You're incorrectly reading it as reward if accepted and punishment if not. God doesn;t say they'd be punished if they rejected it. He said they'd be punished if they accepted it and didn't obey it.
Oh, so you can just reject the laws and remain outside of god's jurisdiction? All is well and good...until he sends the Israelite army to rip open your pregnant women and smash your babies' heads on rocks.
