According to the ten commandments, thou shalt not kill, right?
But I was discussing the bible with a friend since we both read it on occasion, and he points out that Leviticus 20:8-18 has god telling people to kill people for crimes.
Heres a link to the passage, to make it easy for you people http://www.biblelookup.com/cgi-bin/pbible.pl?from=&to=&mode=context&boolop=&unit=chapter&searchtype=fetch&searchstring=%4c%65%76%20%32%30%3a%31%33&version=nas&corpus=&maxhits=
So my problem is, If we shouldnt kill for any reason, why is god telling us to kill for crimes? What if we kill someone because we think they are gay and god said to kill gays, but we later find out they weren't gay. Are we forgiven for the murder? Or are we damned because of moral luck or being mislead and thinking the wrong thoughts? and shouldn't we be forgiving, not murderous?
