I am a strong jew. But why is the bible so violent.
1.Exodus 31:15 .Those who break the Sabbath are to be executed. 31:14
Deuteronomy
2.Kill everyone who has religious beliefs that are different from your own. 17:2-7
3.Anyone who will not listen to a priest or a judge must be executed. 17:12-13
4.Kill those of other faiths. 12:30
5. If your brother, son, daughter, wife, or friend tries to get you to worship another god, "thou shalt surely kill him, thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death." 13:6-10
6. If you have a "stubborn and rebellious son," then you and the other men in your neighborhood "shall stone him with stones that he die." 21:18-21
7. If a man marries, then decides that he hates his wife, he can claim she wasn't a virgin when they were married. If her father can't produce the "tokens of her virginity" (bloody sheets), then the woman is to be stoned to death at her father's doorstep. 22:13-21
Someone please help.
