“…for I the Lord thy God am o jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation…”
Which Christians and Republicans want carved forever into and onto our court houses, a case of Christian Sharia Law as is every anti abortion law they pass, every denominational prayer law they pass, and overturning the gay marriage decision. Sure we should be worried about Sharia Law, but from Christians.
All the Things the Bible Wants to Execute You For – CANDIDA MOSS
1. Disobeying one’s parents. According to Deuteronomy, if a man disobeys his parents they should take him to the elders of the city, denounce him as a glutton and a drunkard, and then everyone should stone him to death.
2. Gathering sticks on the Sabbath day. When the Israelites were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on a Saturday. They brought him to Moses, who was unsure what to do with him. The word came down from on high that the man should be put to death, and the entire congregation stoned him outside the camp. This appears to have been an isolated incident, but just in case avoid gathering firewood or carrying pencils on the Sabbath.
3. Sexual relations with your in-laws. The penalty for sleeping with both a mother and her daughter is that all of them should be burned to death. Interestingly, sleeping with your daughter-in-law or stepmother incurs the more ambiguous punishment of you being put to death. Sex with your aunt or sister invokes social alienation, but not the death penalty.
4. Attending Hogwarts. According to Leviticus 20:27 “Any man or woman who is a medium or wizard shall be put to death.” Stoning is the specified method of execution. Sorry, Harry.
5. Kidnapping. Anyone who kidnaps someone should be put to death, regardless of whether or not the victim is still in their possession. Bad news for those involved in human trafficking and espionage.
6. Taking the Lord’s name in vain. Anyone—whether they are a local or an under-informed foreigner—can be stoned to death for taking the Lord’s name in vain. Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit continues to be a serious sin in the New Testament: it is described in the gospel of Matthew as the only sin that will not be forgiven.
7. All kinds of extramarital sex. Sex with animals, adultery, sex with a woman who is betrothed to someone else, and sex with someone while betrothed to someone else all warrant the death penalty. For men, sex with slaves was probably the safest option, but for women the situation was always dire. If a woman is found not to be a virgin on her wedding night, then the entire town gathers at the entrance to her father’s house and stones her to death.
8. Worshipping other gods. If there’s one theme that emerges from reading the Hebrew Bible, it’s that God doesn’t like it when you worship other gods. When the whole people cheat, he allows them to be conquered by a foreign land. But when you do it solo you’re looking at the death penalty.
To put to rest that crap that this is only an ISIS or al Qaeda thing, sop up this graph from Pew Research. My God, Your God, even 67% of the so called moderate people of Jordan want to publicly stone women to death for adultery and the most populous Muslim theocracy, Indonesia [250 million] is at 48%.
