Good Lord, I've been zotted!

Posted on 04/25/2005 3:34:30 AM PDT by Preacher Joe

Since the Bible God is advertised by Christians to be the only true source of wisdom, justice, and morality in the universe, it's only proper to examine what this "God" says about one of the major problems of our fallen human society.

The Bible God is declared the one true fountain of wisdom in the following: James 3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

The problem to be investigated is that of adultery and unfaithful spouses. God is quite clear about what should be done if a man or woman is caught in adultery. Deut 22:22 If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband, then they shall both of them die, both the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shalt thou put away evil from Israel.

This is part of God's Holy Law and there are no exceptions to this rule. The evil must be purged.

[As an aside, it's interesting that God let one of his favorite pet humans (David), circumvent this law when he committed adultery with Bathsheba. God decided to let David dodge the death penalty and killed David's child instead of David. That story is found in (2 Sam chapter 12). By killing David's child instead of David, God violated another one of his own laws which states: Deut 24:16 The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.

Jesus also thumbed his nose at his alleged Father's moral and holy Law of Deut 22:22 when he excused a women caught in the act of adultery and let her off with a warning in John 8:1-11. However, God who is also supposed to be Jesus, had no problem ordering a man killed because he picked up sticks on the Sabbath. Num 15:32-36 And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day. And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation. And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what should be done to him. And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp. And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the LORD commanded Moses.

Apparently God practices ethics based on situation and not on absolute morality. Such is the nature of the Bible and it's cast of holy characters.

Christians make fine neighbors. I have no interest in challenging their beliefs or shaking their faith.

It's rather hypocritical of those who go on about the "intolerance" of Christians to protelyse to them.

So, Preacher Joe, do you not understand the crucial difference between the Old and New Testaments?

Purely Pathetic. My father was a preacher, and son, I hope you meet all 6' 2", 280 lbs of  him when it is time for you to own up for this blasphemy! I know he will be glad to teach you all about retribution.
