Why does the bible advocate stoning to death yet they criticize Muslims?

Question

Deuteronomy 21: 18-21
Maybe the fact is is that over the years the christians have left parts of the bible behind that nolonger fit their lives. Its easy for them to customize their religion to fit their needs.
Muslims adhere to their religion. It isnt a customizable faith.
Christians are always quick to point an intolerant finger......

exactly the answers id expect from self ritghous christians.

so darrel.. what yer sayin' is is that thu new testment makes thu ol' wun obsolete?

and mr josh... YOUR wrong ... thats not what it says. open it up and read it.

Christianity is an easy religion. upgradable, customizable.......no wonder so many like it

Answer 1

IGNORANCE is why the world has all the problems that are facing it now!!! If you were a Christian or even someone who had studied the Bible then you would know that the Bible is written in two parts: the Old Testement was the Law BEFORE Jesus came, died, and was ressurected. Then JESUS became the LAW (the New Testement). We have been living under the New Testement Law ever since. Show me in the New Testement where stoning, or killing for that matter is condoned?? Unlike the quran where it seems to be a staple of life.

Answer 2

Because it was the law. Christians have in deed left part of the bible behind but it so due to the two commandments set forth by Jesus which does envelope the 10 commandments. We are to follow the law of the land and while stoning is the law of the land where this is permitted they do not follow the commandment of love one another...... and therefore they still practice such an act of discipline upon their followers.
Christians might or might not point an intolerant finger but if we do not do what is right then our lack of saying something is considered a sin; ....to do what is right and not do it is considered a sin.....
If this is really you I am very intrigued by seeing you here. Are you writing a new book? If it is really you email me I would really, really, really like to hear from you. If it is you please tell me about your special grandchild; I have heard your message and it hurts me to know about him. I would like to hear more about your grandchild because I wonder how do you remain so strong when the storm is blowing so hard against this child; it is an issue that I have not been able to understand---why does this happen to a Child of God since this will without a doubt cause some degree of turmoil to your spiritual man. I will know it is you when you tell email me and tell me of this special grandchild

God Bless you.

Answer 3

Seems this path has been gone down before. If you lived in the times you are quoting from you would have been stoned but today it is frowned upon as crucifixion would be. Just because the punishment of the day changes does not make any of the bible void. Sometimes I think it would be good to have stoning as a punishment as it would make some think more about things before comitting a crime. I have never seen the bible criticize any Muslim and I do not do it either. If they want to murder innocent people for their cause, it will be God or Allah if you want to call Him that, who will be judging you.

Answer 4

NOTHING, NOTHING IN THE OLD TESTAMENT IS RELEVENT TODAY THAT WAS A "LAW."

Why? Paul wrote: "Go on carrying the burdens of one another, and thus fulfill the law of the Christ." (Gal. 6:2) While the "Law of the Covenant was TERMINATED AT PENTECOST, 33 C.E. (A.D.) ("since the priesthood is being changed, there comes to be of necessity a change also of the Law." (Hebrew 7:12). Christians come "under law toward Christ." (1 Corinth (:21) This law is called the "perfect law that belongs to freedom," "the law of a free people," "the law of faith." (Jas. 1:25; 2:12; Rom 3:27) Such new law had been foretold by God through the prophet Jeremiah when he spoke of a NEW COVENANT and a writing of his law on the hearts of his people. (Jer. 31:31-34; Heb. 8:6-13).

The "law of the Christ" covers the whole course and scope of the Christian's life and work. By the help of God's spirit the Chrisitan can follow the commands so as to be judged favorable by that law, for it is "the law of that spirit which gives life in union with Christ Jesus." (Rom. 8:2,4).

So we see here that the OLD TESTAMENT LAW THAT YOU REFER TO IS "NO MORE" EVEN FOR CHRISTIANS!!! Yet YOU continue to use it to abuse them. Notice, I say them because I am not a christian. However, I do know my Holy Bible and I am able to "quote it as an angel of light" so please stop being stupid and realize that the O.T. IS DONE AWAY WITH since Christ Jesus sacrificed himself for his followers. They now follow Jesus and the laws HE LAYED DOWN both before his death AND after! So, please quit with the "stoning" cr*p, as that law is "done away with. . . "

Answer 5

Many sins talked about as for the inability of existence penalty. it truly is evidence of only how detestable sin is to God. yet Jesus got here to fulfill the regulation. His lack of existence paid for the sins of the international (John 3:16). That one act satisfied God's requirement for perfect justice and mutually confirmed God's perfect love. there is not any more beneficial lack of existence via stoning because Jesus became the substitutional sacrifice, the righteous for the unrighteous as one million Peter 3:18 calls it. God won't be able to punish those who settle for His pardon because Jesus already paid the penalty.

Answer 6

Christian Reconstructionists DO advocate a return to all of the Old Testament laws, including stoning for a wide variety of offenses.

Answer 7

That was the old law... sin was punishable by death... BUT CHristians weren't even on the sene yet....

WE CHristians follow JESUS example in the New Testament... people were about to stone an adulterous woman, but Jesus saved her by asking them," He who is without sin may throw the first stone.".... everyone left but
JESUS, the man without sin...

He said I do not condemn you woman, go and sin no more.

NOW That is love in the midst of a JUdgemental society...

We CHristians follow this...

"Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that despitefully use you and persecute you."- Matthew 5:44, the Bible

Radical Muslims follow this... Libral Muslims do not.

"Fight and slay the pagans( CHristians, Jews, and non-Muslims) wherever you find them, and sieze them, beleagur them, and lie in wait for them in every strategem ( of war)."- Surah 9:5, the Qur'an


WHO IS THE INTOLERANT ONE NOW? I believe that it is YOU.

POINTING YOUR INTOLERANT FINGER.

I forgive you....

May God bless you and yours....

Answer 8

Are you saying that Christians should adhere to Deut 21: 18-21?

Answer 9

Muslims stone people to death too. There are some great videos on youtube of Muslims stoning people caught in adultery to death, praise Jesus. They wrap them in sheets, and bury them up to their waist, but after the stones start flying, the sheets bloody up and rip and you can here the victims, i mean sinners, screaming for mercy. Just wait till they get to the hell fire, glory to Allah!

Answer 10
