Lmao, I liked that joke, term. Cheesy

So anyways, I've been busy this morning and just got around to replying from this blasted 4" phone screen. I hope you appreciate it because it sucks typing walls of text from the phone. Kiss

God knows all, so the sin shouldn't have to be proven.
proven to the majistrates. Obviously there would be an accuser, therefore there would be a need for either evidence or testimonials from people to prove that the accused actually committed the sin.

And I will say that a lot of these sins ARE proven as people have openly stated they are homosexual or people have been caught in the act, etc., yet they still live. It doesn't state in the bible that man is the one to put them to death (at least not in Leviticus 20...not that I saw).
as Ohio stated, this was Levitical law. It was a lwas given to the people (in THAT time), therefore the people were to carry out the punishments. We are also told to follow the laws of the Land in the Bible, so currently, the Levitical law doesn't apply to our society and is not allowed to be practiced.


Quote
According to Genesis, God cleared out everyone before, so he could certainly be the one to put these people to death and not rely on man. I actually interpret these passages as God being the one to enact the death. He knows who is sinning, so it makes sense that he be the one to deliver death, especially since he is the ultimate judge.
He ultimately knows the true motives of his actions. I believe that in causing the flood, he saved many many people. (The world was said to have been that wicked) The flood and many other stories and scriptures are also symbolic and should be looked at in that manner. The reason too many people don't understand scripture is because they can't connect the symbolic nature to the literal word. In the story of the flood, it was symbolic of baptism and a cleansing of the earth to wash away the wicked.

Plus, we all know that if we were to put people to death for these biblical crimes then we would end up in prison as they contradict our man-made laws. If you had proof that someone was breaking these rules, would you put them to death as the bible has instructed?

No I wouldn't, and I explained why not above.


Quote
If you believe God is to kill them then why doesn't God do it?I'm not going to dispute the fact that God could eventually make them pay for their sins, but why wait?


Ill tell you why. He loves each and every one of his children and wants us to return to him. Why do you think that repentance is preached and taught so much?  He wants us to have a change of heart and turn away from sin. When your children break rules do you kill them or do you repremand them in hopes that they'll understand the rules and not break them again?

Quote
I've never really read the bible, so I'm going through it now. I'm sure there will be other sections that state things about stoning or whatever and I will eventually get there to give more examples.
See, you've already set yourself up for failure. If you're just skimming through in in hopes to find things to refute against then you'll never learn anything about it. If you really want to learn about it then you should try and humble yourself and read with an open mind with real intent and sincerity. If you do that then at least your questions will be questions of inquery rather than questions of provocation and strife.


Quote
Some other passages in Leviticus talk about not picking all the grapes in a vineyard and leaving a certain number for the poor. I'm assuming none of you own a vineyard, so you aren't in the position to violate that one, but do you drink wine or eat grapes? If so, then I'm guessing that you are supporting the breaking of this rule. I know I have no proof, but I'm pretty sure whoever owns those vineyards isn't following that rule.

Again, Levitical law. Also, I don't drink. Wink

Anyone have a tattoo? That's not permitted either. No markings on the skin. The bible doesn't state what the punishment is, but it's not allowed.These are just a few examples of things I found.
I am against tatoos. Our bodies are gifts and temples for the spirit to live in and dwell with us as we are physically alive. Marking them (to me) is just stupid and serves no point what so ever.
