Deuteronomy 22:28-29[/u]
If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, he shall pay the girl's father fifty shekels of silver. He must marry the girl, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives.
Judges 19
22 While they were enjoying themselves, some of the wicked men of the city surrounded the house. Pounding on the door, they shouted to the old man who owned the house, "Bring out the man who came to your house so we can have sex with him."
23 The owner of the house went outside and said to them, "No, my friends, don't be so vile. Since this man is my guest, don't do this disgraceful thing. 24 Look, here is my virgin daughter, and his concubine. I will bring them out to you now, and you can use them and do to them whatever you wish. But to this man, don't do such a disgraceful thing."
25 But the men would not listen to him. So the man took his concubine and sent her outside to them, and they raped her and abused her throughout the night, and at dawn they let her go. 26 At daybreak the woman went back to the house where her master was staying, fell down at the door and lay there until daylight.
27 When her master got up in the morning and opened the door of the house and stepped out to continue on his way, there lay his concubine, fallen in the doorway of the house, with her hands on the threshold. 28 He said to her, "Get up; let's go." But there was no answer. Then the man put her on his donkey and set out for home.
29 When he reached home, he took a knife and cut up his concubine, limb by limb, into twelve parts and sent them into all the areas of Israel. 30 Everyone who saw it said, "Such a thing has never been seen or done, not since the day the Israelites came up out of Egypt. Think about it! Consider it! Tell us what to do!"
2nd Kings 2:23-25
From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some youths came out of the town and jeered at him. "Go on up, you baldhead!" they said. "Go on up, you baldhead!" He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the LORD. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the youths. And he went on to Mount Carmel and from there returned to Samaria.

| And the people of Israel took captive the women of Mid'ian and their little ones; and they took as booty all their cattle, their flocks, and all their goods. 10 All their cities in the places where they dwelt, and all their encampments, they burned with fire, 11 and took all the spoil and all the booty, both of man and of beast. 12 Then they brought the captives and the booty and the spoil to Moses, and to Elea'zar the priest, and to the congregation of the people of Israel, at the camp on the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho. 13 Moses, and Elea'zar the priest, and all the leaders of the congregation, went forth to meet them outside the camp. 14 And Moses was angry with the officers of the army, the commanders of thousands and the commanders of hundreds, who had come from service in the war. 15 Moses said to them, "Have you let all the women live? 16 Behold, these caused the people of Israel, by the counsel of Balaam, to act treacherously against the LORD in the matter of Pe'or, and so the plague came among the congregation of the LORD. 17 Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man by lying with him. 18 But all the young girls who have not known man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves. |
| 6 And we utterly destroyed them, as we did to Sihon the king of Heshbon, destroying every city, men, women, and children. 7 But all the cattle and the spoil of the cities we took as our booty. 8 |
Re-reading Exodus, it appears that the ancient Egyptians were also able to turn water to blood and make their staves into snakes, without the power of the LORD, as they would have you believe Moses worked his miracles. I'd really like to see how they did that.LSD dude, they spiked the wine.
I think this can be quite educational. It shows how a lot of the bible that is held sacrosanct is no longer relevant in today's society.It doesn't matter.
Posting the version of the bible would be prudent as some translate things differently. The king james bible for instance mis-translates 'friend' into homosexual. I'll try and dig up the reference.
I'm betting this is mostly Old Testament stuff. From what I've seen or read, they were much more into the wrath and vegance back when it was still Judaism Then Christ came along and kind of told everyone to chill out a bit, and Christianity was born. Turn the other cheek and all that.
21:17 And they came up into Judah, and brake into it, and carried away all the substance that was found in the king's house, and his sons also, and his wives; so that there was never a son left him, save Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons.
21:18 And after all this the LORD smote him in his bowels with an incurable disease.
21:19 And it came to pass, that in process of time, after the end of two years, his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness: so he died of sore diseases. And his people made no burning for him, like the burning of his fathers.
New Testament rocks...it's fresh (i.e. - written immediately after Christ died and mostly by hte apostols themselves) and far more accurate...
8:32 And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.
Hey an0n, you got one that comes out and says directly that being gay is a sin? (Not that I think it is). So far, from what I read in the Bible, God's not specifically against gays, but is specifically against gay sex (Leviticus 18:22).
New Testament rocks...it's fresh (i.e. - written immediately after Christ died and mostly by hte apostols themselves) and far more accurate...
lets try Numbers 31 on for size, some highlights
in other words God comanded the his people to rape pillage and plunder, to slaughter captives, captive children, and keep the little girls as basicly sex slaves. aparently God himself gets a little peice of the score later on too.
Well, this thread's about as useful as reading the newspaper and looking for bits that would sound awesome out of context. I'm not going to be the one to suggest that people just learn to read the newspaper, though.

with immediately being a few centuries, yeah I suppose.

Well, if it was mostly be the apostles, it can't have been written a few centuries afterwards, can it? :(
I mean, Revelations is just a set of letters from some guy that the Catholics decided to stick in the Bible. :doubt:

I don't take that book seriously either. It's not even in the Bible. Revelation, on the other hand...

If this thread is not locked by tomorrow night, I will personally flame you all for this BS. Reading all of your posts has really pissed me off.
TAKE NOTE: Most if not, ALL of the versions of the bible you guys have posted have been: 1) off, 2) plain wrong, or 3) a really ****ed up transilation or a really bad mispelling.
Yes were all entitled to our opinions, and my opinion is that all your opinions suck:P and i dislike them greatly.
As i said, by thursday night. Il make sure to bring my bible and correct you all (if i can, heck, im only 18 and i know the bible a little but not enough; im still willing to try and attempt it).
Bah-humbug to you all..

well, I was gonna call the "show me a source" card, but then I remembered that trashman, being trashman, is full of crap.

Hey, my job is to take care of trash, but I'm not the one who produces it...
Oh..and from your own link:
"The 27 books of the New Testament were written by various authors at various times and places. Unlike the Old Testament, the New Testament was written in a relatively narrow span of time, probably over less than a century, from c. AD 50 to c. AD 125."
Then your comments will be removed and hopefully you'll be monkied. The topic has managed to stay pretty much flame free. I doubt any of the admins will want to look so bad as to stiffle discusssion just because one person couldn't bear to hear what is written in some versions of the bible.
I think we can all agree on the fact that whoever wrote the book was an idiot
Old Testament = full of crap that was written/added by crazy priests (or should I say rabi?)
but then I remembered that trashman, being trashman, is full of crap.
how idiotic it is to take the bible literally
Instead of being an idiot...

you may not be directly flaming someone in most cases, but you're definately 'flaming' what a lot of people believe in, which, as i remember, was not the original purpose of this thread...
oh, well, trashheap, also from my own link:
Tsk, tsk...now is that a nice way to behave? Such namecalling.. someone should have washed your mouth out with soap..

Where in the bible does it say to rape the girls, they were saved because they were virgins and kept as maids(to do cleaning and cooking) (not sex slaves).. Its that simple.. I can see not all of us take the bible as it was ment to be taken.
(edit) Everyone takes the bible differently, but if you read it carefully, you may learn something.
