God advocates the killing of homosexuals and killing entire villages of homosexuals. The bible also says to stone your daughter if she has sex before marriage. The bible also says slavery is right. How can you believe in the bible when it advocates these atrocities? Believing in the bible is a package deal you can't pick out parts you don't like .

ok, you are asking legitimate questions, homosexuality breeds disease it is a sin against ordained marriage. people die when they never eve committed a sin because of adultery and sodomy lust



when it comes to rebellious teens it is legal to say they will never repent. unless they show an antitude of repentance, then mercy is applied. due process is the missing element that most unbleiverivers do not understand. it existed always. and of course there is always the condemnation of false wittnenesses

when it comes to the subjects of slavery, there are those that say slavery in the commandments of God was not brutal and if it was, God condemns those that practice unrighteous dominion. most of the unrighteous dominion was blacks upon blacks. indentured and contractual servitude was not always practiced by God in unrighteous dominion

jesus condemned false teacher, and false interpretations of the scripture, he also rebuked false prophets.

The Bible (in the Book of Leviticus), does not condemn homosexuals. It condemns people who engage in homosexual activities. There is a big difference. Similarly, there is no instruction to kill entire villages of homosexuals. Sodom and Gomorrah do not qualify even though Sodomize does come from the name Sodom. The people there were wicked in many ways.



Slavery is very controlled in the Bible. Every seven years, slaves are to be freed and paid wages for their service. If an owner injures a slave, the slave must be set free and compensated for the injury. If there is only enough food for one and a slave is traveling with the owner, the slave gets the meal and the owner goes hungry. There are many other restrictions on the slave owner.



As for sex before marriage, if it were by rape in the fields, the man was required to marry the woman and could never divorce her. If the rape was in a city and the woman did not cry out for help, then both were to be killed. Please note that at least two witnesses were needed to swear that she had not cried out for this execution to take place.



If you call these to be atrocities, so be it.

God had regulations to set aside the Jewish human beings from the Genitals. you're style of exaggerating what the OT which tells me you do no longer understand precisely what it says. yet as Christians we've been given grace and salvation, we are no longer to any extent further under the regulation. because of the fact of Christ's loss of life and resurrection we at the instant are residing under a clean covenant.

Not so. That is the beauty of delusion. They CAN pick and choose what to believe and what is not important.

We don't ignore any scripture - we just know how to preserve contexts, especially historical ones



The New Testament teaches that GOD will destroy all fornicators. He does not leave this task up to men today.



Psa 37:38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.





Rom 12:19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but [rather] give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance [is] mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

Waits for the Christian mumbo jumbo for why they aren't so bad.



EDIT: person under me: if that's true then why do Christians harass and have anti gay rallies if god is going to do that?

God created a set number of angels 30 billion?; 1/3 of all angels rebelled 10 billion?God turned the rebels into spiritual darkness (demons) and expelled them from heaven. there was a void in heaven of 10 billion open seats.God decided to create humans to replace the demons. God said that He will let demons trick people into following them, but when 10 billion seats in heaven are filled, God will send demons and those who follow demons to hell. demons dress in fake human skin and fly in ufo ships;pretend to be angels of light, ghosts, pagan gods, greys, ouija board movers.jigsaw from saw movie is not only gay but he's antichrist. when people will look at jigsaw, they will see many angels surrounding jigsaw, but in reality those are demons. the main demon is black with red eyes. antichrist is white with red eyes. if anyone worships jigsaw, they'll go to hell 100%. also, soon the world government will be giving mandatory small grey world passport. when people stretch their hands to receive the small grey world passport, a small green electronic tattoo with sixes will be given by lasers. if anyone receives this tattoo, they'll go to hell 100%. people who kill themselves wind up in hell 100%. also, people who blaspheme the Holy Spirit, go to hell as well. God is one but decides to reveal Himself to the world in three distinct persons: as God the Father, as God the Son (Jesus Christ), and as God the Holy Spirit. now, let's switch to the ufo bases that the demons built. they are located on the moon, in lake baikal, underneath mariana trench (atlantis is here), and inside a fake mountain in tibet (buddhists consider this mountain holy, but as was mentioned, pagan gods are demons). there was also a time when 200 angels told God that they would fare better than humans if they had human bodies (angels and demons don't have bodies - they're just spirits). God told them that He could give them human bodies but if they mess up, He'll punish them severely. these 200 spirits agreed to take this deal. what happened was that when these 200 angels (aka anunaki in pagan beliefs) descended on a mountain in middle east, they saw beautiful female descendents of cain, and took them wives for themselves. these 200 anunaki had giants as kids. giants built the pyramids and other colossal monuments around the world. anunaki taught witchcraft, astrology, blood drinking, human sacrifice, abortion, art of war, etc. God became angry and punished the world for following anunaki. anunaki were imprisoned underneath a desert in middle east. 300 thousand giants and 700 thousand people who followed anunaki and other demons were drowned in world flood. only 8 people were saved in the flood. me and u are descendents of these 8 (noah with his wife, and their three sons with three daughters-in-law) who survived in an ark-ship. animals that knelt before noah went into the ark with noah. animals that didn't kneel were drowned. a bit later, nimrod (world leader) and his wife semiramis (she was in charge of a brothel) created a one state pagan religion (sun-moon-bull-sex worship). nimrod was also in charge of building the tower of babel. this tower was built by masons who wanted to reach heaven and fight God and establish pagan religion in heaven. this was silly, to say the least. God burned the top third of this tower, sank the bottom third inside the earth, and changed the original language into 70 different languages. so, one third of builders killed each other because of misunderstanding, one third ran away, and one third were cursed to become apemen and elephantmen. silly atheists claim that we come from apes when in reality apemen were cursed masons. hindu religion has an elephantman deity. this is absurd. let's get to something even weirder. 80 foot dinosaurs live beneath the earth. they will soon come out through lakes and sinkholes. this is a punishment for spreading ideas of evolution. major climate change will follow. there won't be any clean water left. world government will hide food on purpose too. stores with food will be set up to laser people with the above-mentioned evil tattoo. it's better to die from hunger than receive this tattoo. now, let's go to the main message of christianity. God incarnated (took on human body) to die for our sins so that we can go to heaven. now why was this necessary? well, remember the 10 billion seats from before? yep, they're all empty because everyone went to hell. there were only 2 people that went to heaven (enoch and elijah). so, God didn't want all people to burn in hell, so He provided a cure for this - He died on the cross for our sins and went to hell to pick "believers in Him during their lives on earth" to take them to heaven. now most people go to hell too, but christians don't. why? because God said that if you believe in what He did for you on the cross, and feel sorry for your sins, and stop sinning, you'll go to heaven.
