It irritates me to no end when people quote the bible about things of this nature.
If you look into the bible there are SOO many things that are distasteful in our modern society.
IE, death to children who curse their parents (Proverbs 20:20 NAB) (Leviticus 20:9 NLT)
Death to a non virgin on a wedding night (Deuteronomy 22:20-21 NAB)
Death to those that do not obey the priest (Deuteronomy 17:12 NLT)
Death to the children who strike their parents (Exodus 21:15 NAB)
Death for fornication (Leviticus 21:9 NAB)
Death to followers of Other religions (Exodus 22:19 NAB)
Death to people for working on the sabbath (Exodus 31:12-15 NLT)
SOO once our government approves of ethical genocide I guess were going to revert to slavery again as well. Because the bible is fine with that, it even says you are allowed to beat your slaves and soo long as they do not die within two days of the beating you have not committed a sinful act.
Or does this individual simply prefer to pick and choose lines in the bible he himself likes?
