What would it take to change your mind?
#57
RE: What would it take to change your mind?
No Christian is commanded to kill anyone? Maybe not by Jesus but Christians are supposed to follow the whole Bible aren't they? { thinking }

I seem to remember passages in the bible where it talks about killing your wife on your wedding night if you find out she is not a virgin and the stoning of children who misbehave.

What about these little pieces of wisdom from that great book?

Kill People Who Don't Listen to Priests

Anyone arrogant enough to reject the verdict of the judge or of the priest who represents the LORD your God must be put to death. Such evil must be purged from Israel. (Deuteronomy 17:12 NLT)

Kill Witches

You should not let a sorceress live. (Exodus 22:17 NAB)

Kill Homosexuals

"If a man lies with a male as with a women, both of them shall be put to death for their abominable deed; they have forfeited their lives." (Leviticus 20:13 NAB)

Kill Fortunetellers

A man or a woman who acts as a medium or fortuneteller shall be put to death by stoning; they have no one but themselves to blame for their death. (Leviticus 20:27 NAB)

Death for Hitting Dad

Whoever strikes his father or mother shall be put to death. (Exodus 21:15 NAB)

Death for Cursing Parents

1) If one curses his father or mother, his lamp will go out at the coming of darkness. (Proverbs 20:20 NAB)

2) All who curse their father or mother must be put to death. They are guilty of a capital offense. (Leviticus 20:9 NLT)

Death for Adultery

If a man commits adultery with another man's wife, both the man and the woman must be put to death. (Leviticus 20:10 NLT)

Either Christians are committed to follow the teachings of the Bible or they are not. And if the bible teaches these things then surely it is a form of commandment, even if it is only by example? Does this mean that Jesus is rejecting the teachings of the OT?
