Bible Banning/Burning?

Good point. The Crusades took place because the Roman Catholic Church forbid the common man from having the Bible, locked it up behind gates and said, "Thus and thus is what God says." From this we got inquisitions, crusades, indulgences and the like.\n\nWhen the reformation translated the Bible into German and English, the average person could stand up to the evil popery and say "No!" for the Bible says thus and thus. Then the killing and fleecing soon stopped.\n___________________________\n\nMaster of Goats - Not true, so watch who you call dim-wit. Members of a synagogue would take turns reading the Torah. It was also part of the writ of becoming a man at 13 to read and comment on the scriptures.

Didn't you get the memo?  Freedom of speech and freedom of religion only applies to Christians.  All us non-Christians have to shut up and salute.

They've banned major religious symbols in general, I believe, in places such as public schools and government buildings. So a Jewish man can't wear a kippah, Christians can't wear giant crosses, etc. And I think it's to help prevent discrimination in the work place, but I disagree.

Considering how many Bible Nazis are trying to use the coercive power of the state to shove their god down every ones throat, I think the Bible in plain view can be considered electioneering inside a polling place, which is a violation of the law.

How about 10 commandments? Oops...you probably get in trouble with the PC idiots for that!

This is something I found by an anonymous guest writer on another forum some time ago but it is in the same vein as your question and I think it provides an aswer, I'm sure the person who wrote it won't mind me posting it here, enjoy:\n\n(quote)\n"Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and I try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind him that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate.\n\nI do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the specific laws and how to best follow them.\n\na) When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord (Lev 1:9). The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?\n\nb) I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?\n\nc) I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness (Lev 15:19-24). The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.\n\nd) Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?\n\ne) I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself?\n\nf) A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an Abomination (Lev 11:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this?\n\ng) Lev 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?\n\nh) Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev 19:27. How should they die?\n\ni) I know from Lev 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?\n\nj) My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev 19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? (Lev 24:10-16) Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)\n\nI know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you can help.\n\nThank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.\n\nYour devoted disciple and adoring fan."(unquote)

No one here has even attempted to address "appropriate penalty" which to me is a very vague and liberal phrase and can mean that any official of the Church can devise any penalty at any point in time as they so deem to be appropriate, which could be a slap on the knukles with a ruler as was once done, a slap on the face, as was once done, burning at the stake, which was once done.  Anything.  They would, however, have to obey the laws of a given land or be in violation of the conspiracy laws.

Burning witches to death is definiately sinful, always was.  This was done as an extremist act, not the written word of the Bible.  Slavery is not forbidden in the Bible, however, maltreatment of slaves was condemned in the Bible.  But, Slavery is a social issue, not a spiritual issue, so the decision is up to the government.

Yes, it was banned by the Catholic Church.  It's #10 on the link below.

Good point, but there are more things these slimy fools are doing in Africa.  Raping women, killing Christian women and children, burning churches, torturing kids that refuse to memorize their unholy book and more.  Want proof?  Seek it on this link then!

In terms of Christianity, it is forbidden by the bible.

What is ridiculously funny on Yahoo Q & A is any type of abuse from Christians.Not only do they never have there facts right but make such idiots of themselves in the process:)

Wow thanks for the link, I actually think they are making a really good point!\n\nI guess when the Roman Catholic church stops making up their own rules, then it will stop.  The Bible is the one and only truth.  it is the infallible word of God, can't be changed, can't be destroyed!\n\nGod Loves YOU\nHeather :)

I only know of 1 book that has been banned, but not really to the entire public. This book is the Da Vinci Code. The Pope banned it before he died, but it has already been made into a movie and sold in bookstores everywhere.

Congratulations, your ideology so far, would make you a great new Hitler. Please continue, the last one did some BIG things.\nSorry, but when I read things like this question I just wanna cry...\n:-(\n\nWhat parts are deleted? \nIf you want to strip your mind from others teachings, that is fine, but why wouldn't you want to take advice from others?\nDo you really thing the rulers of the world are pro-Bible? Where do you live? I would like to move there. If you write a book from the aspects of the common man, let us know.\n\nI can understand if you don't believe that the Bible is inspired by God, you don't give it as much credit as I do. Still you should at least reconsider your thoughts about the burning part. Even to a non-believer, the Bible can teach so many principals, that would help you through your life. I read a lot of literature from christians, non-christians, because I know, that I can only gain. I even gained from your question here, I like to reconsider my own beliefs from another persons point of view.

They will never be out of date insofar as they are still relevant today.  The rest of the Bible speaks about other sins but in different ways.  The Book of Leviticus takes the commandments and explains more in depth what each one means and what God wants for our lives.  In some ways though, I think we do need an updated set so that people will have no way to question what God wants.  You must look to the Greek text to find out about recreational drugs, you need better language to tell people that homosexuality is wrong, they don't understand the man lying with another man, as a woman idea or that it is an abomination, or that living together is not right.  You can go on forever trying to update those Ten Commandments, but, ultimately, all the answers are already in the Bible.  You just have to search for them and obey them.  God doesn't want His Word turned into a lie, as is being done in today's society.
