Why does Jesus want us to kill all these people?

Question

Homosexuals, adulterers, disobedient children, women who are not virgins on their wedding night, all non-believers, those accused of wickedness by at least 2 people, anyone who works on the sabbath and anyone with a tattoo or piercing?

I won't bother citing these because all the Christians who answer should already know that they're true and know where they are.

I'd also like to know why Jesus wants us to hate our family and our own lives in order to be his disciple, why women are forbidden to speak without their husband OKing her words, and why it's all right to sell your children as slaves.

And don't give me any Old Testament BS... Jesus said the laws still apply in the New Testament.

The Bible explicitly tells us that we are either to kill these people, or that they are worthy of death. Feel free to look anything up.

Pointing out verses in the Bible that contradict what I've said only hammers another nail into your coffin, because you're pointing out contradictions.

All right, here's one:

But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.

I wasn't angry when I wrote this, just curious. You people sure are quick to judge, especially when you're the ones bashing Islam all day.

Answer 1

Good luck with this Jared, I have been asking similar questions forever and I still haven't heard back....

Answer 2

No.

From a Catholic point of view:

Jesus, John 8:1-11, spares a women guilty of adultery whom the Mosaic Law said should be stoned to death.

If the guilty person's identity and responsibility has been fully determined then non-lethal means to defend and protect the people's safety from the aggressor are more in keeping with the common good and the dignity of the human person.

The Church does not exclude recourse to the death penalty, if this is the only possible way of effectively defending human lives.

However in today's modern society, the capability of rendering the offender incapable of doing harm - without definitively taking away from him the possibility of redeeming himself - the cases in which the execution of the offender is an absolute necessity are very rare, if not practically non-existent.

With love in Christ.

Answer 3

You missed one point though ,grumpy.After the cross all those rules and regulations were nailed to the cross.Now that the Law of Moses is dead we can take our new "husband" Jesus Christ and walk by the Spirit of God .I suggest you read all of Collosians and Galatians 3 to get an idea.The Old Testament was to show us "We Can't Do It!"We are not perfect enough.The Old Law always pricks everyone.We all say "OUCH" when we read it.We see things that we are guilty of and say"How can God accept me?"
He accepts us by what The Lord Jesus did for us.Now ,when I die,and stand before God,He won't see dirty ol' Rod,he'll see me through the spectacles that make me look like Jesus.Jesus died for me.He stands in for me now.

Answer 4

Jesus loves everyone that you listed, good or bad. I honestly don't know why people would think he would do such a thing. When Jesus died on the cross he new there were and was going to be alot of bad people. But he still saved everyone. That shows that he loves everyone no matter how evil or good they can be. Everyone goes to heaven...they just decide by themselves if they want to go down there.

Answer 5

Actually those things you mentioned are only told by those who use scare tactics for you to believe in the faith or follow the church. Jesus Christ himself said not to worry of such things. Jesus did not go to those who were already in church but to those who needed him, murdered, rapers, maybe even gay people. It is a misconception of atheist about Christianity as well as it is a misconception that atheist are all bad people. Jesus didn't say that. I don't know why churches preach that, don't get me wrong some do but without just cause.

Answer 6

valid questions .... it's important to understand to whom particular books were written... some of the OT laws were written when the government was a theocracy... Israel were a people through whom God would make himself known to the pagan nations.... they were to be separated from all pagan practices and to live in holiness. Death is the penalty for rejecting God's rule in our lives, OT or NT. He lets us choose and will accept us as we turn to him whether we've already done these things or not... the cross is about forgiveness since we are all guilty of something.

The term "hate your family" means 'to love less than' Christ. And Women forbidden to speak was in Pauls instruction for order in the Corinthian church.

Your questions were valid and deserved more than generic 'it's all about love' answers....

Answer 7

Your question and statements reveal your anger which has revealed your ignorance.

You have distorted what Jesus taught. Jesus said that He "did not come to destroy the Law and the Prophets, but to fulfill them". This is what he actually said. And the Apostle Paul taught that Jesus - "released us from the curse of the Law" of the OT.

It is obvious that you have no understanding of Jesus' death and resurrection and the coming of the Holy Spirit and the impact that event had regarding the Law and the OT.

Answer 8

woah, you really know nothing about Christianity, do you??? Jesus never said he wanted us to "kill" any of these people (one of the 10 commandments in do not kill), as Christians we are suppose to "love you neighbour as yourself" Christians still love homosexuals, adulterers etc, but dont agree with what they are doing; everyone sins.

And Jesus never said to "Hate" you family (again, one of the 10 commandments is honor you're mother and father), we are suppose to love our family, but put Jesus before our family. That doesnt mean you can't love them.

Get you're facts right before you're so quick to criticize

Answer 9

We are all worthy of death.

That's why Jesus said "He that is without sin cast the first stone."

Answer 10

Jesus doesn't ask us to kill anyone...
Jesus asks us to respect our families, and our youth.
A Christian would know this to be true.

Your lack of understanding of these biblical references exposes the fallacy of your statements. You may want to do your research before posing such ignorant questions.

Hate comes in many different forms. Ignorance is one of the most sincere.
