Oh so you accept all of the bible without ignoring any of it? Ok then, I have a few questions for you
Why don't you stone homosexuals to death? Sure its against the law but only gods law counts right?
Why don't you burn witches! its not legal here but go over to some African countries and you will have a hulluva time!
Why don't you kill people who work on the Sabbath?
Why don't you stone unruly children to death?
Why don't you kill people who wear clothes made of two different materials?
Why don't you own slaves?
The obvious escape route for theists here is: It's against the law.
But surely the laws made by man are flawed when compared with the laws set down by an all powerful, all knowing god? Do you know better than god? Well, you must think you do if you choose to ignore his commandments.
