Joe Biden

Quoting Bible is good. Quoting Biden is bad.

Nothing horrible about the Truth. Some bad things in history recorded in it, but the underlying message of hope and Truth and God’s love is wonderful. Enough said.

In context.

It means you read in context the Word of God. You don’t cherry pick sections and attempt to use the words to say something they don’t. And as you’ve been told before, until you’re serious about learning about God and His truth, then there is nothing of value you can contribute to such discussions. It’s beyond you.

Exactly. Nonsense comments like this demonstrate why you’re not mature enough to discuss the Bible seriously. Every Christian was a non Christian at some point. That’s irrelevant.

You’re cherry picking verses out of context as all scoffers do trying in vain to score points. Won’t work. Good day.

Slavery: Yes and no. While slavery was a part of the Bible times, it has a different connotation of what we're more familiar with today, or in the sense of Egyptian slavery of Israel. Slavery was more of a servanthood status. It was a way to pay off debts, and people often learned trades. There was also a term limit for slaves (7 years), as evidenced in Genesis, when Jacob served his uncle for 2 slave terms for his wives (yeah, yeah, polygamy was in the Bible, too, even though one book over enforces monogamy). Buying and selling people into slavery, however, is frowned upon.

Death penalty for Blasphemy: With the book of Leviticus, there definitely seem to be some gray areas (from what I gather) as far as A LOT of these rules as they apply to the New Testament era. I'm guessing you're referring to Leviticus 24 (that's how I Google searched it). With the Pentateuch era, there was no Savior, and Adam and Eve completely blew it when they sinned against God, so pretty extreme things had to be done to be kept pure, and yes, this was limited to a small part of the population. Why? I don't know. I'm not theological scholar. As far as blaspheming nowadays, that wouldn't get you the death penalty physically. Ultimately, however, you're blaspheming against Almighty God. Thankfully, Jesus' death and resurrection made Him the Intercessor and Saviour for all our sins. God never calls us (New Testament era) to kill people on His behalf.

Death penalty for idolatry: Kinda like the blasphemy issue. Again, because of the pre-Savior times, the Israelites were called to do things by God that not even they could get away with today.

R@pe victims: Yeah, not like women had much in the way of modern rights back in the Old Testament / Pentateuch era. But even with that, it's meant to make the man who defiled an unbetrothed virgin woman (have sex with her consensually or by r@pe) to take responsibility for defiling her. (Deuteronomy 22:28-29) Not only would he have to marry her, but he couldn't divorce her, and back then, men could divorce for ANY reason. Now, here's the kicker: if the woman's father refused to give his daughter to her r@pist -- an understandable decision which I'm sure happened a lot -- he would force the man to pay a fine (Exodus 22:16-17). In that sense, justice would be served on the man, and the woman would not have to face her attacker again. Now, if the woman were betrothed/married, that's an instant death penalty for the man.

Sabbath: next comment.

Sabbath: ...........There were a lot of things you couldn't do on the Sabbath day that would merit the death penalty. God set apart a day of rest and sanctifed it. Sabbath is a holy day of the week, and you could not do any work on it. This included, cooking, cleaning, even gathering firewood. Some thousands of years later, enter Jesus. He did a lot on the Sabbath day, which was frowned upon by the Pharisees. Of course, by then there were also man-made laws that were added to ensure holiness of the Sabbath (again, to man's standards). Jesus, on earth, was doing the work of God. God had a "day of rest" by not creating anything new, but He's always at work. Jesus, like most Hebrew men, followed in the same profession. Therefore, He is Lord of the Sabbath. A bit of personal interpretation: we are to take one day of our week to dedicate it to the Lord -- this does not have to be on Sunday! Is an ER doctor supposed to say "Sorry, I can't help you here, it's Sunday morning!" if someone got shot at 9:59 am? No! Are we supposed to scoot off to Sunday School in our Baptist church if our Presbyterian next-door neighbor has a breakdown in the driveway? Again, no! The concept of the Sabbath is a gift from God to us -- kinda like the gift of Salvation. We accept it, not purify ourselves for it. It transforms us, we don't have to transform for it.

Hope this helps.

All you know is your feels, It's why you're so pathetic.
Keep begging for attention Octavia.
