Moses did indeed sin against the Lord by getting angry at the Children of Israel and striking the Rock! his sin was covered by the blood of the sacrifice but he still suffered the consequences of his sin just like we do. If we rob a bank and then confess the crime to God He will forgive us but we still have to pay the price in a court of law. moses was unable to go into the land because he disobeyed God but his sins were covered by the blood and is in heaven today.

You mean the vengeance sevenfold to be taken on anyone harming him?  The Bible doesn't say.  God simply said whoever harmed Cain would suffer 7 times as much damage.  Ultimate vengeance is to come from God, and this is a clear example of the principle given often in the Bible:\n\nRomans 12:19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.\n\nLeviticus 19:18 Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD.\n\nDeuteronomy 32:35 To me belongeth vengeance, and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.\n\nProverbs 24:29 Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I will render to the man according to his work.\n\nHebrews 10:30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.\n\nMatthew 7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.\n 2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.\n\nJohn 8:7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

The biggest problem about where it was copied from the KJV Bible isn't the exact language that was used but the fact that even the italicized words were included as part of the text without comment. Just so everyone knows. Those were were added to make the translation flow properly in English. It's not always possible to translate even from another Latin based language to English with out adding some wording to make it flow properly in syntax. But to add them as though they are part of the Scripture is wrong.. No not wrong  EVIL is a better word...   Jim

It's interesting that you bring that up at a time Islam is attacked by Christians to be a violent religion, where as the verses they cite were revealed at a time of war. Unlike Christianity though the Quran NEVER condones the killing of women and children in any time or circumstance. As a Muslim and a believer of the gospel I don't believe that part was by God and was possibly put forth by the scribes.

Murder is in the Ten Commandments. I think that takes precedent over pretty much anything (unless you mean embezzlement which = stealing which is also in there which means they are equal).

You CANNOT beat up your neighbor (or anyone else) without violating a penal statute for assault. It would be justified if the other person was beating you up first and then you could be acting in self-defense.

Aggravated assault is when you are continually harassed by someone, assault is just when you're harassed but it doesn't continue.\n\nAggravated assault is very serious and can give you a retraining order and a court date. I've been harassed like that, that bastard.

Why? Because the laws in the bible were not written by children. The bible even recomends killing children.\n\nWhoever strikes his father or mother shall be put to death. (Exodus 21:15 NAB)\nAll who curse their father or mother must be put to death. They are guilty of a capital offense. (Leviticus 20:9 NLT)\n\nOf course this is not suprising. \nThe bible recomends violence in many situations.\n\nA man or a woman who acts as a medium or fortuneteller shall be put to death by stoning; they have no one but themselves to blame for their death. (Leviticus 20:27 NAB)\nIf a man commits adultery with another man's wife, both the man and the woman must be put to death. (Leviticus 20:10 NLT)\nA priest's daughter who loses her honor by committing fornication and thereby dishonors her father also, shall be burned to death. (Leviticus 21:9 NAB)\nThey entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul; and everyone who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. (2 Chronicles 15:12-13 NAB)\nSuppose you hear in one of the towns the LORD your God is giving you that some worthless rabble among you have led their fellow citizens astray by encouraging them to worship foreign gods. In such cases, you must examine the facts carefully. If you find it is true and can prove that such a detestable act has occurred among you, you must attack that town and completely destroy all its inhabitants, as well as all the livestock. Then you must pile all the plunder in the middle of the street and burn it. Put the entire town to the torch as a burnt offering to the LORD your God. That town must remain a ruin forever; it may never be rebuilt. Keep none of the plunder that has been set apart for destruction. Then the LORD will turn from his fierce anger and be merciful to you. He will have compassion on you and make you a great nation, just as he solemnly promised your ancestors. "The LORD your God will be merciful only if you obey him and keep all the commands I am giving you today, doing what is pleasing to him." (Deuteronomy 13:13-19 NLT)\netc. etc. etc.\n\nWhy is this?\nIs god not supposed to be loving?\n\n"Anyone arrogant enough to reject the verdict of the judge or of the priest who represents the LORD your God must be put to death. Such evil must be purged from Israel."(Deuteronomy 17:12 NLT)\n\nThis quote, makes it fairly obvious in my opinion, that religion was nothing more than a manipulating tool. \nThat is why you need not be suprised by the immorality of the bible.

The Oxford Annotated Bible gives the annotations for Chapter 20 of Leviticus a lead-off of "Penalties for violating the rule of the theocratic community."  The paragraph it is located in deals with various sexual relations which are prohibited and their various punishments.  To the people of the time, animals were pure property, and there was really nothing about "animal cruelty".  It also mentions that a man who has relations with both a mother and daughter, well, all three of them are to be burned to death.

1. I love the website linked! It has every verse in the King James Bible listed directly and exactly as it is and reveals it for what it is. \n\nBibleGod killed babies, commited mass genocide and more and is all clearly there! \n\n2. The answer is no. There is some literature that is equally cruel and violent, but not anywhere close to having the vast amount of it as the bible does. \n\nBTW, I found a link to this great video clip on that site!\nhttp://throwawayyourtv.com/2006/06/bible-is-bullshit.html\n\nThanks abunch!

Q1:  In the big picture, it seems God wanted to contrast the attitudes of the criminals.  One had a hardened heart, as we all do in our natural state, and hurled insults at Jesus while scoffing Him.  The other feared God and acknowledged Him as King and Savior.\n\nIt also (obviously?) affirms Jesus was punished under the same sentence as criminals, and to His last moments was regarded as sinless.\n\nTheologically, God used it signally; namely, this story stands out describing how Faith Alone in Christ Alone saves.  This criminal who apparently did no good thing (beyond the fruit of his confession) was to be saved (into paradise) by faith in Christ. \n\nQ2: the (Luke 23:41) response of the criminal seems to indicate the punishment justly fit their crimes.

First chapter of Romans in the New Testament talks about homosexuality, as in 1 Corinthians.  \nYou know, God intended one man and one woman.  But you know also what?\n\nGod loves you, anyway.  \n\nGranted, He detests homosexuality, but He sure loves the homosexual.\n\nYou are very angry.  Why?     I know that before I came to the Lord, if someone tried to talk to me about it, I would get angry. But, then I took the step.  \n\nI'm not angry anymore.

The commandment is correctly translated as 'thou shall not murder'.  Killing, in self-defense or in a time of war is permitted, even obligatory.
