Christians: Hypothetically speaking, if you were living in the OT times...?

Question

would you find it an acceptable form of punishment to stone these atheists? Would you have followed God's laws or used common sense?

Answer 1

If you did not follow these lawsGod would kill you

Answer 2

At that time it was very acceptable...not to mention various other form of killings, and torture (oh wait, torture still goes on today...oops)

Answer 3

I'm a Gentile, if I lived in OT times I wouldn't have lived according to the laws of Moses..

Answer 4

Hypothetically speaking, were I a Christian living in OT times, I would not be a Jew and hence not subject to their laws.

Answer 5

i would have followed gods law and god doesn't permit the killing of anyone, no ones life should be taken for what they believe and if you believe in god you know that. and people who murdered in the name of god weren't even true christians they were evil people who used religion as a excuse to do as they pleased.

Answer 6

Yeah, it would be.

They killed everyone who didn't believe in God.

I dunno if I would've. It was a different time back then. I'm against war and all death now...but who knows what it would've been like living in a country where war is a daily thing...

Answer 7

Christians did not exist before Christ was crucified and resurrected (new testament) there for no I could not exist as a Christian in the old testament.

Those where old testament covenants.

You live in America if you went back before the Civil war would you own a slave? it was legal then.

Or are you not a proud and patriotic American.

See you asked a silly loaded question with no purpose you little troll.

I know what I'm typing, I also know Gods word.

Jesus told the Pharisees whoever was innocent to cast the first stone.

I answered your question, now answer mine or are you afraid?

Oh sweets so much hate and intolerance for me.

Where's the love and tolerance you liberals always demand from us?

Maybe you should change your name to vinegar or venom something more fitting of your attitude

I would not own slaves either, it was wrong and is a disgrace to our history. I,m white but have many black blood relatives. I was just pointing out how ridiculous your question is. you were just trying to ridicule and insult Christians

Answer 8

I think you may be confusing the Bible with the Koran.

I believe it's the Koran that tells people to kill non-believers.  I am not aware of any Bible verses that say that.
