I work in a medical Laboratory under an extremist Christian boss, our morning devotion could be mistaken for a crusade with 7 people ( the speaking in tongues no be here).
This morning a frail looking old muslim man came to run a widal test, after the man left, he said 'look at him, if he gets well now he will go and start killing christians as their koran has commanded them'
I wanted to tell him that his bible has commanded christians to kill more than the koran or any other book has commanded its loyals, but then, I value my job.
So please if you know my boss or anybody like my boss, show them this thread.
NB: The bible is the bible you don't choose what to believe and what not to believe...weather its old or new testament.
1.Kill People Who
Don't Listen to
Priests.

Anyone
arrogant enough
to reject the

Followers of
Other Religions.

(Exodus 22:19

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

man or woman. (2
Chronicles

parents, father
and mother, shall
thrust him
through.
(Zechariah 13:3

10.Kill the Entire
Town if One
Person Worships
Another God.

Suppose 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)

11.Kill Women Who
Are Not Virgins

On Their
Wedding Night
But if this
charge is true (that
she wasn't a virgin
on her wedding
night) , and
evidence of the
girls virginity is
not found, they
shall bring the girl
to the entrance of
her fathers house
and there her
townsman shall
stone her to death,
because she
committed a crime
against Israel by
her unchasteness
in her father's
house. Thus shall
you purge the evil
from your midst.
(Deuteronomy
22:20-21 NAB)

12.Kill Followers of
Other Religions.
A) If your own
full brother, or
your son or
daughter, or your
beloved wife, or
you intimate
friend, entices you
secretly to serve
other gods, whom
you and your
fathers have not
known, gods of
any other nations,
near at hand or
far away, from
one end of the
earth to the other:
do not yield to him
or listen to him,
nor look with pity
upon him, to spare
or shield him, but
kill him. Your
hand shall be the
first raised to slay
him; the rest of the
people shall join
in with you. You
shall stone him to
death, because he
sought to lead you
astray from the
Lord, your God,
who brought you
out of the land of
Egypt, that place
of slavery. And
all Israel, hearing
of this, shall fear
and never do such
evil as this in your
midst.
(Deuteronomy
13:7-12 NAB)
B) Suppose a
man or woman
among you, in one
of your towns that
the LORD your
God is giving you,
has done evil in
the sight of the
LORD your God
and has violated
the covenant by
serving other gods
or by worshiping
the sun, the moon,
or any of the
forces of heaven,
which I have
strictly forbidden.
When you hear
about it,
investigate the
matter thoroughly.
If it is true that
this detestable
thing has been
done in Israel, then
that man or woman
must be taken to
the gates of the
town and stoned to
death.
(Deuteronomy
17:2-5 NLT)

13.Death for
Blasphemy
One day a man
who had an
Israelite mother
and an Egyptian
father got into a
fight with one of
the Israelite men.
During the fight,
this son of an
Israelite woman
blasphemed the
LORD's name. So
the man was
brought to Moses
for judgment. His
mother's name was
Shelomith. She was
the daughter of
Dibri of the tribe
of Dan. They put
the man in custody
until the LORD's
will in the matter
should become
clear. Then the
LORD said to
Moses, "Take the
blasphemer
outside the camp,
and tell all those
who heard him to
lay their hands on
his head. Then let
the entire
community stone
him to death. Say
to the people of
Israel: Those who
blaspheme God
will suffer the
consequences of
their guilt and be
punished. Anyone
who blasphemes
the LORD's name
must be stoned to
death by the whole
community of
Israel. Any
Israelite or
foreigner among
you who
blasphemes the
LORD's name will
surely die.
(Leviticus
24:10-16 NLT).

14Kill False
Prophets
A) Suppose there
are prophets
among you, or
those who have
dreams about the
future, and they
promise you signs
or miracles, and
the predicted signs
or miracles take
place. If the
prophets then say,
'Come, let us
worship the gods
of foreign
nations,' do not
listen to them. The
LORD your God is
testing you to see
if you love him
with all your heart
and soul. Serve
only the LORD
your God and fear
him alone. Obey
his commands,
listen to his voice,
and cling to him.
The false
prophets or
dreamers who try
to lead you astray
must be put to
death, for they
encourage
rebellion against
the LORD your
God, who brought
you out of slavery
in the land of
Egypt. Since they
try to keep you
from following
the LORD your
God, you must
execute them to
remove the evil
from among you.
(Deuteronomy
13:1-5 NLT)
B) But any
prophet who
claims to give a
message from
another god or
who falsely claims
to speak for me
must die.' You may
wonder, 'How will
we know whether
the prophecy is
from the LORD or
not?' If the
prophet predicts
something in the
LORD's name and
it does not
happen, the LORD
did not give the
message. That
prophet has
spoken on his own
and need not be
feared.
(Deuteronomy
18:20-22 NLT)

15.Infidels and Gays
Should Die

So God let them
go ahead and do
whatever shameful
things their hearts
desired. As a
result, they did vile
and degrading
things with each
other's bodies.
Instead of
believing what
they knew was the
truth about God,
they deliberately
chose to believe
lies. So they
worshiped the
things God made
but not the Creator
himself, who is to
be praised forever.
Amen. That is
why God
abandoned them to
their shameful
desires. Even the
women turned
against the
natural way to
have sex and
instead indulged
in sex with each
other. And the
men, instead of
having normal
sexual
relationships with
women, burned
with lust for each
other. Men did
shameful things
with other men
and, as a result,
suffered within
themselves the
penalty they so
richly deserved.
When they
refused to
acknowledge God,
he abandoned
them to their evil
minds and let them
do things that
should never be
done. Their lives
became full of
every kind of
wickedness, sin,
greed, hate, envy,
murder, fighting,
deception,
malicious
behavior, and
gossip. They are
backstabbers,
haters of God,
insolent, proud,
and boastful.
They are forever
inventing new
ways of sinning
and are
disobedient to
their parents.
They refuse to
understand, break
their promises, and
are heartless and
unforgiving. They
are fully aware of
God's death
penalty for those
who do these
things, yet they go
right ahead and
do them anyway.
And, worse yet,
they encourage
others to do them,
too. (Romans
1:24-32 NLT).

16.Kill Anyone who
Approaches the
Tabernacle

For the LORD
had said to Moses,
'Exempt the tribe
of Levi from the
census; do not
include them when
you count the rest
of the Israelites.
You must put the
Levites in charge
of the Tabernacle
of the Covenant,
along with its
furnishings and
equipment. They
must carry the
Tabernacle and its
equipment as you
travel, and they
must care for it
and camp around
it. Whenever the
Tabernacle is
moved, the Levites
will take it down
and set it up
again. Anyone
else who goes too
near the
Tabernacle will be
executed.'
(Numbers 1:48-51
NLT).

17.Kill People for
Working on the
Sabbath.

The LORD then
gave these further
instructions to
Moses: 'Tell the
people of Israel to
keep my Sabbath
day, for the
Sabbath is a sign
of the covenant
between me and
you forever. It
helps you to
remember that I am
the LORD, who
makes you holy.
Yes, keep the
Sabbath day, for it
is holy. Anyone
who desecrates it
must die; anyone
who works on that
day will be cut off
from the
community. Work
six days only, but
the seventh day
must be a day of
total rest. I repeat:
Because the LORD
considers it a holy
day, anyone who
works on the
Sabbath must be
put to death.'
(Exodus 31:12-15
NLT)

OP, this is not what christ stood for. Go back and re read ya bible.

If you do, you will see where christ spoke about all that. He said a lot of it is written and tgen he gave new translations to most of them.
He said it is written an eye for an eye but I tell you if someone slaps you on the right cheek turn tge left to him too. He said pray for your enemies and wish good to those that curse you.
He said forgive 70x70 times
He said a lot of things that if you were not so stuck on proving christianity as a devilish and blood thirsty religion, you would have noticed and understood.

Granted your oga was overdoing it. But he said what he said out of anger at what extreemist moslems are doing. Have you been oportune to see what those ISIL are doing to people? Go and look for those videos and come back and tell me you dont understand where your boss is comming from.
Anyhoe, as long as he did not butcher the man or insult him to his face and the man did not feel threatened, na ya oga sabi,

I get u point...
But again if Christ has abolished all these acts then what are they still doing in the pages of the bible?

And again when people like my boss accuse Islam of being a religion of war, they backup their claims with one statement from the koran...how can one statement from the koran represent what a religion stands for?

Anyone familiar with the scriptures will note that Yahweh has no reservations about ordering the deaths of heathens. In the Old Testament he is not a God of Peace. Even the Laws of Moses, given to ensure man lives in harmony, includes death sentences for certain violations. The Flood is the most obtrusive example of his mass annihilation tactics for those who have strayed from his direction. The destruction of the cities of the plain is another. Yahweh's own actions are far from exemplary, he approves of Noah's animal sacrifice after the flood because the burning flesh has a pleasing smell. He orders Abraham to sacrifice his son on an altar as a test of loyalty. This is hardly admirable conduct from a divine being.

Well, I believe its because moslems have not had any imam contradict what the quran said. As Jesus came and gave some what revised new laws, so christians are not bound by most of the old laws . On the other hand, no imam has come forward to sa Mohamed s laws can be done away with and tge new law should be so, so so. Love all, no jihad, no killing of infidels, no taxing them etc. Till then, the quran still stands as it is.
To many chrisrians, the Old testament is a book that peers into the history of the begining of the christian religion. The new testament is the new law which comprises of the laws from the OT that still holds and the law that christ added to it.

Oh yes the bible commanded such violence and deaths and horrible evil actions but christians now dont let it influence their actions because human morality surpasses that of any God(s) or anything written in the pages of a book.

But looking at the actions of most muslims in the world are best described as brainless folks with a book and gun..

Tho those two books bible and koran are real shiiiits and are not supposed to influence any man's thinking and actions..

When you live by the divine law of God, and you break it, God will not ignored it,those verses you quoted that God killed,who are the people God killed? Are they innocent? You claimed to be a christian and wanted to know the truth,instead of you to search the scripture,you went and search the internet.

All the verses you quoted up there are the verse God pronounced judgement on the sinner, you even went all the way and make a case for witches and wizard including evil men, seriously? You quote a verse questioning God why he will destroyed the idols worshipper,my good friend. You are not a christian.

here what God said to the isrealite;

"It is not for your righteousness or for
the uprightness of your heart that
you are going to possess their land,
but it is because of the WICKEDNESS OF
THESE NATION that the LORD your God
is driving them out before you, in
order to confirm the oath which the
LORD swore to your fathers, to
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
( Deuteronomy 9:5)

Okay, how "wicked" could those people
have been? let find out;

"You shall not behave thus toward the
LORD your God, for every abominable
act which the LORD hates they have
done for their gods; for they even
BURNS THEIRS SONS AND DAUGHTER IN THE FIRE TO THEIR gods ( Deuteronomy
12:31)

The wickedness of these people is
confirmed in other verses of the Bible.3
So we see that these people are not quite
as innocent as the Muslims would like
you to believe. The fact that these people
practiced child sacrifice is also confirmed
in the secular writings of the Greeks.

obiZEAL. There are many verses in the quran that encourage muslim to wage war on people who don't believe in Allah check this thread. https://www.nairaland.com/2092548/root-caused-islamic-terrorism

Obizeal. https://www.nairaland.com/2032869/did-god-realy-killed-innocent

Obizeal... Thanks for this eye opener...
I neva want to believe the prophet Mohammed / his scholars copied texts from the bible, until I saw this. Now I gerrit, this is where he gets his misconceptions from..
Well cha, not his fault.. Only those of the spirit shall understand things of the spirit...

I dont even know why you choose to derail this thread and make a fo.ol of yourself here..

I wont reply your quote on this again... stick to the thread..

The violence you speak of with regards to the quran have been well explained inwww.nairaland.com/2092548/root-caused-islamic-terrorism ending of page 0 as well as 1 and 2. The things most Christians are guilty of is that when Muslims point at the violence verses in the Bible, they give excuses why it's not actually a teaching, but when Muslims give them their own reason why such Quranic Verses have a context and explanation, they accuse us of lying. So as long as you continue to portray Islam as a religion that preaches violence relying on these verses regardless of the explanations so shall we continue to do same to you until you accept the truth and stop been hypocrites

Everything you said up there is false and unreal. How many christians ready to turn other cheek if slapped?. How many of you forgive 70x? You are not being real. Those nonsense were Paul's teachings. Jesus did not abolish the Law.

The Laws Stand. If you dont agree, it means you contradict our own Book and your Book also contradicts itself. Here is what Jesus said

"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.Matthew 5:17

“It is easier for Heaven and Earth to pass away than for the smallest part of the letter of the law to become invalid.” (Luke 16:17)

[size=15pt]“Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law” (John7:19)[/size]

OP you are confusing judaism with christianity. God never commanded any christian to kill anybody. There was nothing like christianity before Jesus Christ. Christianity is built on Jesus Christ and Jesus never asked christians to kill anybody. The old testament is in the bible so that we can learn about how God related with the jews not to obey their commandments.

If you read the old testaments very well you will realize that the commandments were given specifically to only the isrealites. Every other nation then were gentiles and they had no obligations to obey the commandments. When.Jesus came, he connected the gentiles to God not through the isrealite's laws but through his blood. And he gave the christians only two commandments which is Love the Lord your God and love your neighbour as yourself.

He never commanded the christians but he commanded jews right..

Is it not the same yahweh? Is the christian concept of yahweh diferent from the judaic concept (original concept tho)

Why is the jewish commandments in d christian scriptures.

Why say the old testament laws applies to christians but yet when faced with passages as this you remember its in the old testament...

Why not say the whole old testament is invalid or is it that you just cherrypick the ones that appeals to your morals but others that dont, you just say its in the old testament forgetting your ten commandments and other laws are also from the old testament...

[size=15pt]“Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law” (John7:19)[/size]

how did Jesus fullfiled the law? ? No prophets say the word " I come to fullfiled the law" only Jesus ,why?

When the law was introduced, it was
never intended to be the instrument by
which man would save himself, but it
was the instrument through which man
was to be saved. In a very real sense,
man is saved through the fulfilment
(keeping) of the law. When Christ fulfilled the law, he earned the privilege of life.

Those who are in Christ, likewise, share
in his righteousness and are delcared
righteous right along side him. In that
sense, the law has always stood and will continue to stand.

Romans 7:7What then shall we say?
That the law is sin? By no means! Yet
if it had not been for the law, I would
not have known sin. For I would not
have known what it is to covet if the
law had not said, "You shall not
covet." 8But sin, seizing an
opportunity through the
commandment, produced in me all
kinds of covetousness. For apart from
the law, sin lies dead. 9I was once
alive apart from the law, but when
the commandment came, sin came
alive and I died. 10THE VERY
COMMANDMENT THAT PROMISED LIFE
proved to be death to me. 11For sin,
seizing an opportunity through the
commandment, deceived me and
through it killed me. 12So the law is
holy, and the commandment is holy
and righteous and good.

This is the point Jesus was making>>>>

The law offered life through its fulfilment and death through its violation. Jesus was saying"I NEVER SIN AND I AM THE PERFECT EXAMPLE TO FOLLOW. How do you fullfiled the law?is it not by keeping the commandment? I know you will not understands it. Because your heart is sealed.


That being said, there's still hope for us
wretched sinners:
Romans 7:4Likewise, my brothers,
you also have died to the law through
the body of Christ, so that you may
belong to another, to him who has
been raised from the dead, in order
that we may bear fruit for God. 5For
while we were living in the flesh, our
sinful passions, aroused by the law,
were at work in our members to bear
fruit for death.
And verse 6 say>>>>>
6But now we are released from the law, having died to that which held us captive, so that we serve in the NEW WAY OF THE SPIRIT and not in the OLD WAY of the written code.
Looking at the block starting with v.7 we
see that the law is not bad (in fact it's
good) just because we use it as a
springboard for badness. The law is
good, and it's been fulfilled by Christ. He
was the one who fulfilled it; not us.

When you live by the divine law of God, and you break it, God will not ignored it,those verses you quoted that God killed,who are the people God killed? Are they innocent? You claimed to be a christian and wanted to know the truth,instead of you to search the scripture,you went and search the internet.

All the verses you quoted up there are the verse God pronounced judgement on the sinner, you even went all the way and make a case for witches and wizard including evil men, seriously? You quote a verse questioning God why he will destroyed the idols worshipper,my good friend. You are not a christian.

here what God said to the isrealite;

"It is not for your righteousness or for
the uprightness of your heart that
you are going to possess their land,
but it is because of the WICKEDNESS OF
THESE NATION that the LORD your God
is driving them out before you, in
order to confirm the oath which the
LORD swore to your fathers, to
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
( Deuteronomy 9:5)

Okay, how "wicked" could those people
have been? let find out;

"You shall not behave thus toward the
LORD your God, for every abominable
act which the LORD hates they have
done for their gods; for they even
BURNS THEIRS SONS AND DAUGHTER IN THE FIRE TO THEIR gods ( Deuteronomy
12:31)

The wickedness of these people is
confirmed in other verses of the Bible.3
So we see that these people are not quite
as innocent as the Muslims would like
you to believe. The fact that these people
practiced child sacrifice is also confirmed
in the secular writings of the Greeks.

Am Sure you must have understood that the bible is a one sided story book...God played the jury and the judge and he never gave room for free will, the pages of the bible suggests that God kill people at will...and it don't go down well with me when SOME christians tag Islam a violent religion just because of a hand full of deviant muslims. That where I have a problem.

obiZEAL. There are many verses in the quran that encourage muslim to wage war on people who don't believe in Allah check this thread. https://www.nairaland.com/2092548/root-caused-islamic-terrorism

Just as there are sooo much more verses in the bible like the ones up there that other christians to kill and destroy.

michaelwestern:
OP you are confusing judaism with christianity. God never commanded any christian to kill anybody. There was nothing like christianity before Jesus Christ. Christianity is built on Jesus Christ and Jesus never asked christians to kill anybody. The old testament is in the bible so that we can learn about how God related with the jews not to obey their commandments.

If you read the old testaments very well you will realize that the commandments were given specifically to only the isrealites. Every other nation then were gentiles and they had no obligations to obey the commandments. When.Jesus came, he connected the gentiles to God not through the isrealite's laws but through his blood. And he gave the christians only two commandments which is Love the Lord your God and love your neighbour as yourself.

So what do we do with the ten commandments?
What do we do with story of creation?
These are the basis of the christian belief and they are found in the old testament

I will seth a challenge for you, produce a verses in the bible were God killed innocent people, and when you do that, give the whole story so that the viewers will understand.we all know the killing start during the FLOOD and later soddom and gomorah,these people sacrifice there sons and daughter for their gods and practice homosexual,infacte they even attempt to sleep with the angels God sent to warn them, hence their punishment/judgment.everything about killing continue during the exedus era,read below;

The Amalekites attacked the Israelites
without apparent provocation as they
were traveling during the Exodus ( Ex
17:. "When you were weary and worn
out, they met you on your journey and
cut off all who were lagging behind" ( Dt
25:17-18). They later attacked Israel
during the time of the Judges (Jdg 3:13)
and often raided the Israelites' land after they had planted crops, leaving them with nothing ( Jdg 6:2-5). God punished the Amalekites by ordering Saul to destroy them ( 1 Sam 15:2-3) - over 300 years after they had first attacked Israel.

there is no verse in the bible God command us to kill, if there is provide it.

johnydon22:


He never commanded the christians but he commanded jews right..

Is it not the same yahweh? Is the christian concept of yahweh diferent from the judaic concept (original concept tho)

Why is the jewish commandments in d christian scriptures.

Why say the old testament laws applies to christians but yet when faced with passages as this you remember its in the old testament...

Why not say the whole old testament is invalid or is it that you just cherrypick the ones that appeals to your morals but others that dont, you just say its in the old testament forgetting your ten commandments and other laws are also from the old testament...

Did you even read my post before quoting me? I stated it clearly that the old testament laws are not for christians. God gave the commandments to isrealites only there was nothing like christianity then.

It's the same God but different dispensation and to the best of my knowledge the OP was referring to christians not isrealites who were given the commandments.

Let me state it clearly again, christians dont follow the old testament commandments, we only read the old testament to learn about how God related to the isrealites before christianity.

Jesus summoned it with ONE word, "LOVE" all the killing the op quoted are for thoes who don't believe in the grace Jesus gives us, they are for does who followed the law and deny the grace of God in christ Jesus.

Gives rise to another question;
Why did my catechism teacher make me cram the ten commandment?
And u'v not told me what to do with the story of creation, or do we just stay with the evolution theory?
