"So my slaves still have to honor me? Can I put my wife outside during 'that time of the month'? Can I stone her, as the Bible commands, if she commits adultery? Better yet, can I have sex with her sister if she's unable to produce a son for me?"
Ah, you like to pick on the Old Testament. This was directed to the Jews. You might want to look up in the Hebrew what a slave is. I'd liek to know where this is stated?
"Can I put my wife outside during 'that time of the month'?"
"Can I stone her, as the Bible commands, if she commits adultery?"
This was Jewish Law under the Old Testament. The New Testament voids that even for Jews.
"Better yet, can I have sex with her sister if she's unable to produce a son for me?"
Old Testament again ... may I suggest you spend your time and effort with the New Testament since you are obvioulsy not Jewish and need to udnerstand hwo things changed with the birth and death of Christ.
Really? So the Ten Commandments are null and void now to a practicing Christian?
"Old Testament again ... may I suggest you spend your time and effort with the New Testament since you are obvioulsy not Jewish and need to udnerstand hwo things changed with the birth and death of Christ. "
Ahhhh...but your original statement was that there "is no contradiction in the Bible".
With apologies, I have to point out that every Bible I've ever seen or read has both Old and New Testaments. Yet, above, I've pointed out several contradictions. The 'Old' says one thing - the 'New' says another. That, to me, is a contradiction. Thus, your original statement is incorrect.
