Godless Business

The blood bath of living by God’s word

Check out these rules that God lay down in his “perfect” book.  Bear in mind that this is on no way a complete list of stupid rules in the Bible.

Exodus

  • If a man has sex with his father’s wife, kill them both. 20:11
  • If a man has sex with his daughter in law, kill them both. 20:12
  • If you “lie” with your wife and your mother-in-law, then all three of you must be stoned to death.
  • If a woman “lies with a beast” both the woman and the animal are to be killed. 20:15
  • If a man has sex with a menstruating woman, they both “shall be cut off from among their people.” 20:18
  • Women with “familiar spirits” are to be stoned to death. 20:27
  • A priest’s daughter who “plays the whore” is to be burned to death. 21:9

Deuteronomy

  • If a man marries, then decides that he hates his wife, he can claim she wasn’t a virgin when they were married, then the woman is to be stoned to death at her father’s doorstep. 22:13-21
  • If a betrothed virgin is raped in the city and doesn’t cry out loud enough, then “the men of the city shall stone her to death.” 22:23-24

Psalms

  • If you make God angry, he’ll burn you and your children to death. 21:9-10

Lamenatations

  • God punishes the Israelites by starving their children to death. 4:4-9

If these are the sort of family values God promotes, then I am happy to be a godless heathen.

    Sorry, but I just had to add something here. You stated that Exodus 20:11 refered to a man aving sex with his father's wife, kill them both. This is not the chapter and verse you were refering to. Also, when the bible refers to "Thou shalt not kill", it is refering to someone who lies in wait and is killing someone just for evil. In the Greek "to kill" is murder; #5406 "phoneus; fon-yooce'; murderer, always of criminal [intentional] homicide." The Bible applies capital punishment to criminal homicide, and that soul of the murderer is sent back to the Father for judgment. God is the only One that truly judges that soul. Every murderer will stand in God's heavenly court to be judged for that act with the victim at hand. There are no unsolved cases in that court, no trials that go bad, and no crooked judges in God's court. It's your soul that is judged in that court, and there is no salvation for your soul until you clear that heavenly court and God gives you the okay.

      Wow. I never knew there was such a bureaucracy in Heaven. Sound to me like you sanction killing people to be judged by God. Answer me this – if God is eternal and will judge everyone anyway, then what's the rush?

    I John 3:15 "Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiden in him."

    I John 3:16 "Hereby perceive we the love of God, because He laid down His life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren."

    A murderer cannot have salvation in his soul, because he is not suppose to be living. He is to be executed and sent to the Father for judgment. This is done so others will see it, and these things will cease to exist among you: Deuteronomy 19:1-13. However, to kill is honorable when it protects family and nation. But to murder, to lie in wait and premeditate is to commit a criminal homicide. This should carry the death sentence, and is unforgivable while you are in the flesh body.

      Congratulations. You have just demonstrated you can use the Bible to support any viewpoint.

      "However, to kill is honorable when it protects family and nation."

      Kill them all, let god sort them out. Nice.

    Lamentations 4:4 "The tongue of the sucking child cleaveth to the roof of his mouth for thirst: the young children ask bread, and no man breaketh it into them."

    We are talking about spiritual food from the truths of God's holy Word, and nobody even offers them a crumb of the truths of God's Word. Soul food for Israel is truth that comes for God through the prophets. Within the so-called temples or churches there is no soul food that is passed out, but only the false doctrines and traditions of Kenite indoctrination. This is why the people are ignorant when it comes to the Word of God, and they lay themselves open to be deceived and misled.

      Ohhh – spiritual food. Yeah right.

  • Sherry

    I chose a few of your examples, but as you can see too many take the words from the bible and take it literally. You cannot just read the bible, but you need to study it and learn what the Word is teaching.
