You're true Christian, right?

You believe in Christianity?

Then provide answers to this questions below.

I will update questions that will blow your mind.

Please don't be a dick by insulting my thoughts, comments like "God this, forgive, you don't know what you're saying, and so on," are just stupid.

Defend it with HQ posting and real prove.

"If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them." (Leviticus 20:13)

"For everyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death. He has cursed his father or his mother. His blood shall be upon him." (Leviticus 20:9)

"Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property." (Leviticus 25:44-45)

"But all in the seas or in the rivers that do not have fins and scales, all that move in the water or any living thing which is in the water, they are an abomination to you." (Leviticus 11:10)

If we actually followed the Holy Bible word for word, we would be killing homosexuals, killing teenagers, practicing slavery, and criminalizing the consumption of shrimp and lobster, which would result in the loss of millions of jobs.

For a supposedly purely good God, these teachings don't sound very moral or ethical. In fact, they actually sound very cruel and discriminatory. Should such a cruel God be worthy of worship?

Christainity simple means followers of christ ways,and for all you ve just quote remember christ saving the prostitute that was about to be put to death,HE did nt come for the righteous HE came for the sinners,be it gay,lesbian,fornicators,murderers all the criminals and the sinners he came to teach them the right way and not to sharia or boko haram them, thats who we are christians.

The scriptures you quoted is not for Christians . It was for Jews. Christians don't kill. We practice forgiveness. Does that answer your question?

Joagbaje:

yeah, you can say that again. when it comes to the issue of tithe, firstfruit e.t.c the old testament becomes applicable

^^^ You catch our friend with that one small.

Anyway the opening post reminds me of a post I made not long ago and which I now post again here.


Let me demonstrate for the atheists here how they can be taken seriously by contrasting some scenarios.

Scenario 1 --- an atheist (especially evangelical atheist) comes to this forum and says: Christians believe in stoning people to death because of passages in Leviticus. Well, I personally will not take the person seriously and while I may not say so openly on the forum (or only use clever/polite language to say it) I will certainly consider the person a fo.ol in my mind.

Scenario 2 --- an atheist person says with discernibly genuine honesty: 'You these Christians, I don't understand you and this your Bible; I mean your Bible says to stone some people to death!' I will regard the person as misinformed (but not necessarily a fo.ol) and may be prepared to engage in discussion.

Scenario 3 --- here I present to the atheists (especially the evangelical atheists) what may make them begin to earn my respect: they say I know that in Leviticus the Bible says stone some people to death, I know that you Christians do not today really believe people should be stoned to death, I have some idea how you manage to "side-step" those provisions in Leviticus but I am interested in a detailed understanding of the argument(s) or way(s) for "side-stepping" those provisions in Leviticus.

Scenario 4 --- an atheist says I understand some of your arguments for "side-stepping" the Leviticus "difficult passages" and I can understand how you find that those arguments give you peace of mind; however, for me as an atheist I do not find those arguments convincing! Again, I can understand that kind of position.

But to come here and say Christians believe in stoning people to death (or Christians don't believe in taking conventional medicine as one of the [i]evangelical [/i]atheists argued incredibly some time ago), either out of ignorance or in intellectually dishonest fashion, earns nothing but contempt from me.

Wrong use of the scripture there. The mosaic law as stated above is not applicable to christianity. Christ has change all dat because we are in d dispension of grace Matthew chapters 5 to 7. I advise u search & understand scriptures well before posting here.

Thank u for this answer to @OP. let me add!

We practise what Jesus teaches during his days on earth, if he had wanted us to practice stoning to death, he would ve shown us example in the bible. If u look into the bible, There was a story of the woman caught in adultery HOW did JESUS reacted? lets see. (((John 8:1-11))

1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
   2 At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them. 3 The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group 4 and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5 In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?” 6 They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him.

   But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. 7 When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” 8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.

   9 At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. 10 Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”

   11 “No one, sir,” she said.

   “Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”

READ THIS AND KNOW WHAT CHRISTIANITY IS ALL ABOUT.  She was not condemmed, but was forgiven and was asked to go and discontinue with her sins. A TRUE FORGIVING ACT.
