Woman burned alive for 'sorcery' in Papua New Guinea

[Drich]

Has anyone asked this question besides you yet?

Same God, different ways to worship Him.

Wow... really? It was asked several times through this thread, which means maybe the answer is more important than the flippant response you just gave me... but, whatevs.

So your god is ok with people burning other people alive as long as Jews are doing the burning?

Not just Jews, Old Testament Jews. And yes.

Why? The the act (any act) it self has no intrinsic 'moral' value in God's economy. What makes an act righteous or evil is not the act itself but how that act correlates to God's expressed will. In other words God's expressed will is what makes something sinful, not how we "feel" about something.

For OT Jews they were to burn witches. For New Testament Christians they are to follow Peter's example in acts 8:

This is why I can identify the actions of burning anyone as a non Christian act.

Then why did these people burn that lady?

If the Jews weren't in a conspiracy to overthrow Europe, why did the Nazis attempt to exterminate them?

Simply put; people can be wrong. The fact that someone was punished does not necessarily mean they were guilty of a crime.

So your saying despite what a give person maybe able to do, people can perceive them as something and still act on that perception even if they are not really guilty of what they have been accused of?

So really if you think about it does not really matter if someone is really a witch or not does it?
