Yahweh's Death Penalty Acts. by advocate666: 11:10am On Jan 31, 2013
"And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time! But He loves you." —George Carlin


[size=14pt]Actions punishable by death according to the everlasting loving god, Yahweh.[/size]


Sexual activities

-Adultery (Leviticus 20:10-12, man and woman)
-Lying about virginity. Applies to girls who are still in their fathers' homes, who lie about their virginity, and are presented to their husband as a virgin. The accused is guilty until proved innocent. (Deuteronomy 22:20-21)
-The daughter of a priest practicing prostitution (death by fire) (Leviticus 21:9)
-Rape of a virgin who is engaged. If she is not engaged you only have to marry her and give her father 50 shekels. No mention is made of the girl’s opinion, and no punishment is specified for raping a single non-virgin female. (Deuteronomy 22:25)
-Being the victim of rape, if one is an engaged female virgin and the rape occurs in a city. If it takes place in a field, the victim is spared because nobody would have heard her screams. (Deuteronomy 22:23-27) Presumably, virgins who scream for help inside a city will always be rescued.
-Men practicing bestiality. (Both man and animal die). (Leviticus 20:15) [4]
-Women practicing bestiality (Both woman and animal die). (Leviticus 20:16) [4]
-Having sex with your father’s wife, as distinct from "your mother", as it was common practice for men at the time to have several wives. (both die) (Leviticus 20:20)
-Having sex with your daughter-in-law. (Leviticus 20:30)
-Incest. (Leviticus 20:17) [5]
(for men): Sex with a man in the same manner as sex with women. Generally interpreted as male homosexuality. The girls seem to get a free... errrr ...ride on this one. (Leviticus 18:22)
-Marrying a woman and her daughter. They are all burnt to death (Leviticus 20:14)

A couple of these demand that the "sinners" be burned to death rather than stoned — which was the more usual form of capital punishment. One can wonder why these crimes in particular merit this especially horrible fate.

Religious laws

-Worshiping idols (Exodus 22:20, Leviticus 20:1-5, Deuteronomy 17:2-7).
-Blasphemy (Leviticus 24:14-16,23).
-Breaking the Sabbath (Exodus 31:14, Numbers 15:32-36).
-Practicing magic (Exodus 22:18).
-Being a medium or spiritualist. (Stoning) (Leviticus 20:27).
-Trying to convert people to another religion. (stoning) (Deuteronomy 13:1-11, Deuteronomy 18:20).
-Apostasy - If most people in a town come to believe in a different god. (Kill everybody, including animals, and burn the town.) (Deuteronomy 13:12-15)[6]
-Giving one of your descents to Molech. Probably refers to human sacrifice, which is not now as commonly practised. (Leviticus 20:2)
-Non-priests going near the tabernacle when it is being moved. (Numbers 1:51)
-Being a false prophet. (Deuteronomy 13:5, Deuteronomy 18:20, Zechariah 13:2-3)

Parents and Children.

-Striking your parents (Exodus 21:15).
-Cursing your parents (Exodus 21:17, Leviticus 20:9).
-Being a stubborn and rebellious son. And being a profligate and a drunkard. (stoning) (Quite a few of us might have a problem with this one)(Deuteronomy 21:18-21)

Violent and legal crimes

-Murder. However if a slave is beaten to death the owner is “punished” — not necessarily killed. If the slave survives the beating then there is no punishment. This is part of a wide range of slavery laws in the Old and New Testament. (Genesis 9:6, Exodus 21:12, Numbers 35:16-21)
-Kidnapping and selling a man. This is really a law against making an Israelite a slave against his will, as other laws happily allow the "stealing of men" to make slaves. (Exodus 21:16).
-Perjury (in certain cases) (Deuteronomy 19:15-21).

Deuteronomy 19:20 explicitly identifies that the purpose of this is deterrence. "The rest of the people will hear of this and be afraid, and never again will such an evil thing (malicious and false testimony by one man against another) be done among you." Presumably all the other death penalties are assumed to be for deterrence as well.

-Ignoring the verdict of a judge – (or a priest!) (Deuteronomy 17:8-13).
-Not penning up a known dangerous bull, if the bull subsequently kills a man or a woman. Both the animal and the reckless owner of the dangerous bull are to be put to death. (Exodus 21:29)

Things that don’t go anywhere else.

-Living in a city that failed to surrender to the Israelites. (Kill all the men, make the women and children slaves.) (Deuteronomy 20:12-14)

Possible grounds for execution.

The following carry the punishment of being "cut off from his people". Some people seem to feel that this is the same as the death penalty, although the ancient Israelites may simply have interpreted it as exile.

-A male who is not circumcised. (Genesis 17:14)
-Eating leavened bread during the Feast of Unleavened Bread. (Exodus 12:15)
-Manufacturing anointing oil. (Exodus 30:33
-Engaging in ritual animal sacrifices other than at the temple. (Leviticus 17:1-9)
-Sexual activity with a woman who is menstruating: (Leviticus 20:18)
-Consuming blood: This would presumably include eating rare meat and black pudding. Also see above. (Leviticus 17:10).
-Eating peace offerings while ritually unclean: (Leviticus 7:20)
-Waiting too long before consuming sacrifices: (Leviticus 19:5-cool
-Going to the temple in an unclean state: (Numbers 19:13)

the old testament laws have a lot than most people care to know.

Significantly, it was given to diferentiate the Israelite from the nations all around them.

This will not allow intermingling with those nations for any thing, all this to keep satan far from those nation that worship him since they all worship other gods(satan and Demons).

This will prevent satan from entering the nation or using people from the nation of Israel to twart the plans for the coming of the massaiah.

Those laws created the distinction between Israel and every other nation.

When the aim of sending fourth the massaiah was accomplish, and the massaiah had arrived, setting out the way forward, the law covanant was set aside.

It is really a slack when people fail to see the big picture and resort to retrogression it is really a pity, cause they may also miss out in the big picture

Sometimes I wonder if Yahweh is actually the heavenly father Jesus is referring to, or Yahweh is just one crazy being that loves bloodshed and has nothing to do with the God Christians worship.

Jesus' character is more humane and less bloodthirsty unlike the crazy being allegedly known as his father
Their characters are so different.

So that is all your almighty, all-knowing, omnipotent, omniscience god can come up with as a solution?
