"Whoever sacrifices to any god other than the LORD(Jesus) must be destroyed. (Exodus 22:20)
They entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul; and everyone who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. (2 Chronicles 15:12-13 NAB)

I am pretty sure he meant it at the time... but you are taking something out of context, which is what most preachers do.. I will remind you that once the blood covenenant was fulfilled there were a couple more commandments.. by the way.. when God gave Moses the law.. nothing was mentioned about killing disbelievers.. it was to punish those who broke the laws.. Perhaps you should read a little further..

The Bible additionally instructions us to: DEUTERONOMY 22:13-21 whether that's got here across that a bride isn't a virgin, the Bible demands that she be carried out via stoning right this moment. DEUTERONOMY 22:22 If a married person has intercourse with somebody else's husband or spouse, the Bible instructions that the two adulterers be stoned to loss of life. MARK 10:a million-12 Divorce is strictly forbidden in the two Testaments, as is remarriage of absolutely everyone who has been divorced. LEVITICUS 18:19 The Bible forbids a married couple from having sexual intercourse in the time of a female's era. in the event that they disobey, the two would be carried out. MARK 12:18-27 If a guy dies childless, his widow is ordered via biblical regulation to have intercourse with each and each of his brothers in turn till she bears her deceased husband a male inheritor. DEUTERONOMY 25:eleven-12 If a guy gets right into a combat with yet another guy and his spouse seeks to rescue her husband via grabbing the enemy's genitals, her hand would be decrease off and no pity would be shown her. And approximately Leviticus, it particularly is going to be examine which incorporate Exodus, because it tells the story of persons of Israel. In Lev God provides the Israelites a series of regulations, and he makes it very sparkling WHY he provides them those regulations, and that's to maintain the persons of Israel break away the cultures around them. a number of the different regulations given in Lev incorporate: do no longer positioned on outfits created from mixed fabric, do no longer consume meat which nevertheless has blood in it (so no uncooked/medium steaks!), pigs are an abomination (so no beef chops the two i'm afraid), have not got sexual intercourse or perhaps touch a female who's on her era or share a mattress together with her, she is unclean. and lots of greater.. None of those regulations are observed in any western u . s . at present. They have been given to a particular group of persons at a particular time, they are no longer in simple terms regulations for all of us to stay via.

No, It is so easy for people to choose statements out of context though, isn't it? As if that makes your case... and justifies the desire to have them true.
1 Deuteronomy 26:16 The LORD your God commands you this day to follow these decrees and laws; carefully observe them with all your heart and with all your soul.
17 You have declared this day that the LORD is your God and that you will walk in his ways, that you will keep his decrees, commands and laws, and that you will obey him.
18 And the LORD has declared this day that you are his people, his treasured possession as he promised, and that you are to keep all his commands.
1 Exodus 20:2 "I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
3 "You shall have no other gods before me.
4 "You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below.
5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,
6 but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.
7 "You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.
8 "Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.
9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work,
10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien within your gates.
11 For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
12 "Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you.
13 "You shall not murder.
14 "You shall not commit adultery.
15 "You shall not steal.
16 "You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.
17 "You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor."
These are what was commanded by God of those who entered into the Convenant with God.

The verses quoted refer to Jews living under the laws of the nation of Israel. It is not speaking about anyone outside of the Jewish race or the nation of Israel/Judah.
At that time God needed to keep his people free of the influence of the nations around them which worshipped false religions. So he gave them permission to punish, even to the point of execution, any within the nation who refused to worship him.
Any one who did not want to worship God had the option of leaving Israel.

Of course, but you have to remember that alll of that stuff had to do only with the tribe of Israel. If they weren't a Jew, they were fair game for anything. The 10 commandments were only for the tribe , of Israel..... you could still screw a nother tribe member's wife,, or kill another in another tribe....or covet a sheep belonging to someone in another tribe.....

If it's right it prove that God of Genesis ( Is there any God by the way ) is NOT
Omnipresent, Omniscience, Omnipotent, and benevolent.
No wonder, Genesis is full of violent, blood, sex, jelous, bully, and no family at all.

Nope. You've taken those out of context.
Moses was NOT referring to Jesus in the book of Exodus!
