Examples:
A) Lot, who in Gen.19:8 offers his two virgin daughters to a crowd of angel rapers and later(19:30-38) impregnates them, was a "righteous man." Peter 2,2:8
B) James says Abraham was justified by works (for being willing to kill his son for God); Paul (Rom.4:2-3) says he was justified by faith (for believing that God would order him to do such an evil act). James 2:21
C) God ordered animals to be "stoned, or thrust through with a dart" if they "so much as ... touch the mountain." Heb. 12:20
D) Those who disobeyed the Old Testament law were killed without mercy. It will be much worse for those who displease Jesus. Heb. 10:28-29
E) God will not forgive us unless we shed the blood of some innocent creature. Heb. 9:13-14, 22
F) God will cause us to believe lies so that he can damn our souls to hell. Th.2:11-12
G) Homosexuals (those "without natural affection") and their supporters (those "that have pleasure in them") are "worthy of death." Rom.1:31-32

Amen my brother, great question. Only uneducated morons would not take the time to see through the load of crap that is written in the bible. Nothing but B.S.

The Old Testiment is a Jewish book that is only included in the Bible because of the 300 prophesies that are fulfilled by Christ. The New Testiment reflects the new covenent with God based of truth and grace.

Amazing, you've simplified the entire Christian faith into seven passages out of context. Some even before the time of Christ. The Bible is a big book and not meant to be plucked. Try the "whole" Bible sometimes, stop trying to impress people by nit picking..

I will not take time to help you understand each of the scriptures you use. The bible is indeed a dangerous book if you take scriptures out of context and do not understand the foundations of theology.
But I will say this: God is a holy God, not to be messed around with. And He is the Creator and we are the creatures and it behooves us to get to know Him through a careful reading of the Bible. As we do get to know Him, we love Him more and more. And we begin to understand both His holiness and His love.
god bless

a...he cared more about the messengers of God than his daughters...He put God first. Later his daughters seduce HIM...not the other way around.
b. james does not say we are justified by works...but that faith without works is dead....if you claim to have faith but hate your brother.....that would mean that I would question your professing to have faith..it is suspect as "dead" faith.
c. and?
d. killed without mercy? They were all spiritually dead and deserving of death from the moment they were born...mercy is letting them live that long to sin. You have an odd understanding of what "mercy" is if you don't recognize this.
e...exactly....he deflects what YOU deserve on to an animal and you want to complain. The alternative is YOUR blood.
f. people are so full of themselves...the instant God removes himself from their lives...they naturally revert to some balogna...he's responsible only in that he knows their nature of rebellion and stops trying to draw them in.
g.and?

Look, what are some Christian values to you? I guess you never heard of, love thy neighbor, obey your parents, have an organized and happy life, bless others that hate you, and countless of oher Christian values. You see, at that time, God (Creator of the Universe and God of Abraham) had to be strict with his people because other nations would of come in and influence them with pagan beliefs such as your beliefs. For example, believing in a monkey as your God. Anyways, God only wanted his people to obey him. But you see, people like you don't understand HUMBLENESS. That is why send his son Jesus Christ to die for your sins. Does that sound evil and inhumane to you. He died for you because he loved you and wanted you to be with him in heaven. So stop complaining and accept Jesus because you sound very interested in the Bible.

The Almighty YHVH set up a system. He sent His “Son” YAHOSHUA to die for the sins of mankind so they would not have to. (They could choose to, but did not have to). Any person who chooses not to allow Yahoshua to take care of their sins, chooses to remain attached to their sins. They thus will wind up in the lake of fire which is YHVH’s method of cleaning this world, and eliminating sin and sinners. The Creator set aside the Seventh day for rest and worship. Yes that is the day usually called “Saturday”. We are not saved by obedience, we are saved by faith. However we are saved FOR obedience. As He said in John 14:15 (and in many other places) “If you love me, keep my commandments.
Churchianity is a pagan religion. The only thing that will change a person is the indwelling savior Yahoshua. Obviously that is rare in this sinful world.

It is very bad practice to take sacred scripture apart from its true meaning. Ones values should reflect that of the churches teachings given by Christ

You are no Bible scholar. Your interpretations are wrong on all counts. You should probably read the verses before and after too.
