The fact that Jesus died for all sins past and present means that you are not sentenced to death the moment you are born. The Fact that God is all know means that he can send out messages that we can be a a level that every person can understand even if that person's thinking is flawed.
Have you ever read the entire bible? If so when was the last time you did that?
As soon as someone starts barking that anyone who doesn't wear a certain style of clothes at all times deserves to die, I'll start speaking out against them.
Yes you are sentenced to die. Anyone who doesn't worship Jesus goes to hell. That means everyone goes to hell by default, and you have to make some effort to ensure you don't. Or be (un)lucky enough to be born of parents who are already christian. Entire countries worth of people are going to hell, simply because of the culture they grew up in.
Like reading page after page, instead of looking up particular verses? A pretty good while. Are you trying to say death was not the most common punishment for things Yahweh didn't like?
The Jews in had to wear a star to mark them in Germany, people in gang will kill people who wear the wrong color. People will kill each other because the are the wrong race. People will kill if they are the wrong sex. People will kill their own babies if they are inconvenient to them. See it isn't about the book but it is about the state of a man/woman's heart. A wicked man will use the bible which is the word of God, holy and true, to destroy someone else if they could.
I am not surprised that you found a lot of death in the scriptures because it speaks judgment against sinful people. It is a warning against living a life against God. So since you say you gladly oppose God then you would most definitely find that you are condemned according to the scriptures. Still that is not the entirety of the Bible but you will not see that unless you humble yourself.
I asked if you read it to see if you were just going by what others say about the Bible or if you actually read or studied it yourself.
