The reason Christ came to the world was man could not live up to the law.
Man was given free will and God himself allows for this.
We are not perfected by the law but made new by the atonement.

If you mean the rules of the OT then I don't think so. They were written for a different people, in a different time (i also would have been killed years ago lol). Christians are not under the old Law.
But if you mean living by Jesus' Law: loving your neighbour as yourself and doing to others what you would like them to do to you, then yes I think it would.
God bless

There wouldn't be a country left to run or anyone left to run it if we executed everyone according to the Bible's Levitical law, so I don't think that would be a good idea. The fellow who who runs the website listed below certainly does, though!

My word no. The problem with the entire middle east is that their culture is based on religious doctrine. Were the same thing to happen here, we would be the fanatics the world both feared and disdained.

No, no and NO.
The Bible promotes hatred for gay people, submission for women, wars, slavery, etc, etc.
That is NO book to base any laws upon. Good grief

If you want America to look like Iran, then yes. If you have a functioning brain, then no.

No. I don't think it's right to sell your daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:2-6.
