![ARE CHRISTIANS TO BLAME FOR THE CRUSADES AND THE SALEM WITCH TRIALS? [3 of 3] The New Testament has another example of the New Covenant as it is applied to witchcraft. Acts 8 talks about how Simon the Sorcerer was not stoned by Peter, but only rebuked. If we're still supposed to kill witches, as the Old Testament prescribes under the Old Covenant, then why didn't Paul, or Petter, do that? It's because the death penalty was Old Testament civil law. God's moral law with the Ten Commandments is in force for all time with its prescriptions for a certain moral character. But the civil, priestly, and dietary laws are for the Jewish nation; not the Christian Church. So, those people meting out the sentences at the witch trails were wrong to do what they did. They misapplied Old Testament passages to say those punishments are still applicable in this Church Age. And that's a whole other can of worms with many religions today still attempting to enforce that outdated Old Testament covenant, which does not apply to Christians. They try to bring those laws into today with all their legalism and they cite the Bible as their proof text. But, again, they are talking
about the Old Covenant that is not for us Christians today. | image tagged in witch,trials,salem,christian,god,bible | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/4qj7ew.jpg)
![WHAT IS A SHOTGUN WEDDING? What are we taught by our society today about pre-marital relations? Many ignore what goes on with our young men sleeping around. Some even give young men bad advice, saying they need not worry about the consequences; thereby creating a society full of single moms. They lead men to believe they don't need to be responsible for their behavior. Completely contrary to that disastrous message, God tells us we must take responsibility for our behavior in a society: "If a man seduces a virgin who is not pledged to be married and sleeps with her, he must pay the bride-price, and she shall be his wife.”; That also used to be our society’s way. We had a term called, "shotgun wedding.” Dad would confront the young man with something like, "You did what with my daughter?!" Then if the man slept with his daughter, the shotgun would come out, followed by the preacher showing up to marry the two young people. But today, society thinks no one but the government (taxpayers) is responsible for bringing that child into the world. And you wonder why our society is falling apart. God continues: "If her father absolutely refuses to give her to him, he must still pay the bride-price for virgin[s]." So,
one way or another, the man needs to take responsibility. | image tagged in wedding,marriage,god,bible,baby,christian | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/4dw40d.jpg)
![WHY DO ONLY 50% OF CHRISTIANS TRUST THE BIBLE 100%? [3 of 4]
Another reason we can trust the Bible is that there are close to 25,000 copies of the New Testament alone; some from the actual lifetime of the writers. It used to be that the oldest were within 25 years of the date written, (which is amazing), but now we even have Scripture from the same year it was written. Those copies are on pottery that was stored in Qumran. For some strange reason that extraordinary historical find doesn’t get on the History Channel. It gets no attention from secular media even though the Qumran caves of the Judaean Desert (West Bank of Israel) had Old and New Testament materials, again, some of the latter that are from the same year the original was written. That is absolutely phenomenal! The Bible is unquestionably reliable. Now let’s contrast the Bible with the writings of Aristotle and Plato that no one mocks the veracity of. The Bible has 25,000 copies, some from within the same year as the original, yet people feel free to question the authority and authenticity of Scripture while the earliest copies of Plato and Aristotle are 1200 and 1400 years removed, respectively, from the originals. And there are only 7 and 49 copies of those works on the whole planet. No one scoffs at the authenticity of those books, while at the same time they do with the Bible, which is totally reliable. | image tagged in bible,trust,truth,god,christian,jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/40k487.jpg)
