Do you guys know the Bible says this stuff?

Question

1.) Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day must be put to death.
- Exodus 31:15

2.) Anyone who blasphemes the name of the LORD must be put to death. The entire assembly must stone him.
- Leviticus 24:16

3.) If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death.
- Leviticus 20:13

4.) Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.
- 1 Corinthians 14

Btw, 1st Corinthians is in the new testimate.

Let a woman learn in silence with all submissiveness. I permit no woman to teach or to have authority over men; she is to keep silent.
- 1 Tim 2



Bid slaves to be submissive to their masters and to give satisfaction in every respect; they are not to be refractory, nor to pilfer, but to show entire and true fidelity.
- Titus 2:9

Answer 1

Yes, I knew that.

Also...

Little children who make fun of prophets are to be mauled to death by a pair of angry bears.
2 Kings 2:23-24.

Oh, and I always with people who say "out of context, out of context" wouldn't use that as a "rebutt all" argument. SHOW how it's out of context if you're going to claim such. Otherwise, don't make yourself look so desperate by grumbling about "you just don't get it".

Answer 2

Nice work looking up those verses. Just a little more info:

1.) The first three are Old Testament verses - applied to the laws of the Jewish people - many of these laws were undone and 'replaced' when Christ died, because he is the living law. (You can find that in the Gospels Matthew/Mark/Luke/John)

2.) The last verse was from Paul to the Church in Corinth, on how to live according to the faith. I'm not 100% what you're asking in this question.. how would a Christian respond to being asked if a woman should speak in Church?

We're taught that the man is the spiritual head of a household, so this would stand true - perhaps you're confusing Christianity with Feminism?

3.) I respect you for taking the time to actually look things up before passing judgement or making claims before doing a little research.

Answer 3

I see that you aren't asking Jewish people. The Torah is the first five books of the Old Testament, which includes Exodus and Leviticus. Too much historical baggage with denouncing Judaism, perhaps? But still perfectly okay to denounce Christians.

There is much that a Christian can say, in fact. The fact is that the Old Testament is God's old covenant with people, and the New Testament is God's new covenant. While the N.T. does not "cancel out" the O.T., as some people claim, it does change the agreement between God and human beings.

The one N.T. passage you referenced was written by Paul, in a letter to the church at Corinth. Paul was helping people establish Christ's church in various cities. This was his response to something the people of Corinth were struggling with.

Christ did not say it, in other words. Paul was a faithful servant of Christ.

Answer 4

The Old Testament law was given to a nation of people (Israel). It represented not only their spiritual law, but also their civil law. For a government to operate it must be able to punish evildoers. Without punishment to act as a deterrent, there would be chaos.

There is a tremendous amount of violence in the Old Testament, but there is also a lot of love. In fact, the New Testament commands to love are frequently just quotations and affirmations of Old Testament commands to love (e.g. Lev. 18:19,34; Deut. 6:5). In the Old Testament, God also demonstrated extreme patience and love, even when his people rejected him and worshiped false gods (Hos. 11:7-9). He loved them fervently (e.g. Deut. 7:7-15; 23:5; 1 Kgs. 10:9; Neh. 1:5).

The same is true in the New Testament; we find both God's violent anger and his love. Many New Testament passages about God's love are well known (e.g. John 3:16; 1 John 4:7-21), but there are a lot of passages about his wrath, anger and vengeance too (e.g. Matt. 3:7; 10:28; Luke 12:5; 21:23; John 3:36; Rom. 1:18; 2:5-13; 3:5-6; 9:22; 12:19; Eph. 5:6; 1 Thess. 2:16; Heb. 3:7-4:13; 10:26-31; Rev. 2:23).

We may find somewhat less violence in the New Testament than in the Old, but this is not because God changed. This is simply because of the redemptive sacrifice Jesus provided when He came.

God has always been about both love and vengeance. We frequently stress his love because it is far more pleasing and enjoyable. But both Old and New Testaments in the Bible warn us of the dangers of God's wrath. This is why salvation in Christ is so important and so wonderful. Christ took upon himself God's fierce anger which should have been poured out on us.

Answer 5

well, I am a christian and I can help you out. These are commandments that God gave to Moses written by God himself on the stone tablets. We are to obey God's commands. He does not tolerate us not listening and not doing as he ask. People can turn what the Bible says into anything they want, but if you are a true believer in the Lord Jesus Christ you won't have any question about what the Bible tells you. The Bible was written on true facts which were seen by his followers. You should sit down and just read the whole Bible all the way through and just maybe you will understand what it is trying to tell you. All you really have to do is be saved and have faith in what you believe. Don't ever be ashamed of being a believer in Jesus.
Have a good day.

Answer 6

These aren't things that Christ said, so why would Christians be afraid to respond? You're taking these primarily from the Old Testament and the Corinthians is a letter from Paul, written by Paul, not Jesus.

Paul wrote this letter because the church in Corinth was having a specific problem 1,000 years ago. Jesus re-represented the laws in a new light - taking away the legality of them, replacing them with morality and humanity. So, no more if/then, more of a help and love one another.

Now that you've misrepresented a few things, try reading the rest. It will enlighten you. Try to put things in context. It makes you come off in a more educated light instead of someone that's out to bash someone else's beliefs.

Answer 7

Are you aware that Genesis, and the first 19 chapters of Exodus may be part of an asserted 'old testament but not part of God's scriptural old testament? (God's old testament; the law of Moses).
Please apply the '2 or more witnesses' principle (Matt.18:16,2 Cor. 13:1) (Could this be a test?).
The texts from Lev. are scriptural old testament; and were 'done away when Christ died on the cross (Hebrews).

Answer 8

The first three are all from the Old Testament and have been superseded by the New Testament teaching of Christ. These are Jewish teachings, and represent the Old Covenant of God with men, which was replaced with the New Covenant in the person of Jesus Christ, who came to fulfill the law. Forgiveness is the key word.

The fourth is from the New Testament and is perfectly accurate. Yes I know it says this and it should be followed. You do understand this is referring to women preaching rather than just simply 'talking', I hope?

You should try actually studying theology a bit more closely before you start railing against a religion you evidently know nothing about.

Answer 9

The scriptures in exodus and Leviticus were under the old law before Jesus came. Jesus came and completed the law. He paid the price of death for us so we don't have to. As for the Corinthians verse, if you do your research it was pertaining to that specific church. The men sat on one side and the woman on the other. The women would yell across to their husbands. It was given to keep order in the church.

Answer 10

It is funny how xians always claim things are being taken out of context when half of them have never read the holy babble. There are just as many crazy psycho things in the NT as the OT.

Luke 19:27 (New International Version)
But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them—bring them here and kill them in front of me.

This is Jeebus talking in one of his loving parables. I went to Seminary for 2 years so don't try and pull the "you didn't interpret it correctly" argument. Look at any concordance or commentary and you will see that this is what Jeebus wants for those who do not believe in him.

Answer 11

I am surprised that you still ask these lame questions!!

1. Christians are no longer under the Old Testament Law/Punishment covenant. Why is that so hard for you to understand??????
2. Read the verse what he is talking about is asking questions during the service. If you go to most Churches an Usher will ask ANYONE if they are talking during the service to be quiet.
